As Vogue editors, we often wax poetic on the latest runway must-haves and home decor treasures, but not every item we gush about on this website ultimately ends up in our closets and homes. Our discoveries are nice to behold—they’re lovely to look at and inspire fun conversation—however, of all these cool things to buy, what did we actually end up buying? Each month we’ll highlight those special finds our editors welcomed into their lives—all the things that gave us buyer’s rejoice.

Whether it be a cutoff pair of denim shorts or a wear-everywhere caftan, the latest set of purchases was all about giving way to the sunny season and treating ourselves to items that truly bring us joy.
And it wasn’t just fashion staples that made it into our shopping carts. One Vogue editor found a hero beauty item to help simplify her makeup routine during the soon-to-come sweltering summer days, while another found an affordable way to brighten her smile overnight. Read on to discover more details on what Vogue editors bought during our joyous shopping escapades in May.
