American Eagle Outfitters / Aerie Summer 2017

It's the time of year when we anticipate those big summer clearance and back-to-school sales, and one of my stops for August shopping is definitely American Eagle Outfitters / Aerie. This season has a lot of cute pieces, including hi-neck sports bras, sports bras with a contrast lace back, crop tops, cutout dresses, cutout maxis, and denim midi shorts. For the beach or pool, there are also crochet swimsuits and crop bikini tops, woven fringe, oversized, and straw tote bags. Check out these looks from the American Eagle preview I went to a few months ago. I haven't shopped all these fun, on trend pieces just yet, but now's the perfect time to, with plenty of warm weather weeks left.

Garmin introduces DriveAssist 51 - GPS Navigator with built-in dash cam, with forward collision and lane departure alerts, automatically records continuous video, bluetooth calling, smart notifications and voice-activated navigation.

Epson Expression XP-440 wireless all-in-one printer is perfect for your at home printing needs, and also copies and scans photos and documents. 

Wester Digital's newest portable external hard drives have a new look with My Passport, with a version for Mac too.

I'm always worried about where I place my keys or if I'll ever see my luggage again when I check my bag at the airport, so Pixie will make sure I know the precise location of my items. All you have to do is tag Pixie on and check its location through the Pixie app.
