1 Giada in Italy Season 2 on Food Network
"Confession: I could watch Food Network for hours, especially when Giada De Laurentiis is on. That's why I'm marking my calendar for the premiere of season two (July 31) of Giada in Italy, where the Rome-born chef will share her best recipes and behind-the-scenes looks at her life in Florence, where she filmed for a few weeks this Summer. From the looks of what Giada has shared while in Italy, the show will be full of countless gems." — Erin Cullum, assistant editor, Food
2 Gordon Ramsay Dash
"Long road trips and waits at the airport will feel a lot less tiresome if you're playing Gordon Ramsay Dash, a new game by Glu Mobile. The adorable food graphics, Gordon's encouraging words/hilarious insults, and the game's premise (building a virtual restaurant empire) make it worth the free download." — Anna Monette Roberts, editor, Food
3 Starbucks Rainbow Drinks
"There are five new icy Starbucks drinks to try this Summer created by fans and popularized on Instagram. My favorite is the original Pink Drink, but there's a color that appeals to every taste bud." — AMR
4 Sunnylife Inflatable Swan Float Cupholder
"Inflatable swan floats: everyone and their mom is getting them. I have my eyes on one and one only, though. This inflatable swan float from Sunnylife ($18) isn't for me to sit on, but for my drinks — much more important, in my opinion. The swan floats around in the pool holding up to four beverages, which means it's basically your own personal bartender while you swim." — EC
5 Ingredienti: Marcella's Guide to the Market
"Marcella started Ingredienti: Marcella's Guide to the Market ($13, originally $20) prior to her death in 2013, and her husband, Victor, finished the manuscript. It's a toss-up how many of Marcella's words are actually within the pages, but I still want to read it to see . . ." — AMR
6 Private Party Brunch 1-Piece Swimsuit
"I need this swimsuit. There are few things I enjoy in life more than brunch, and I would proudly display my feelings by walking around in this minimalist one-piece from Private Party ($99) (there's also a pizza swimsuit!). It rarely gets hot enough to even wear a swimsuit in San Francisco in July, but I'd happily take a trip down to LA just to wear this . . . on the beach and at brunch." — EC
7 Urban Outfitters Pineapple Ice Tray
"I don't have any plans to go to Hawaii or somewhere beachy this Summer, but this Pineapple Ice Tray ($14) is a little bit of a consolation, offering a small taste of the tropics every time I drop a few cubes in my glass." — AMR
8 Smitten Whiskey Chip Ice Cream
"Smitten makes some of the most popular ice cream in California, so when it announced a new Whiskey Chip flavor, I couldn't wait to try it. I was a little skeptical, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well the combination of fresh vanilla ice cream, chocolate chips, and (a heavy dose of) whiskey works. If you don't have the opportunity to visit a store location this Summer, I won't judge you for sipping on whiskey in between bites of ice cream for a similar effect." — EC
9 Gold Polka Dotted Potholder
"I'm on a big gold kick right now. I'm trying to insert it into my apartment in every room, and this Gold Polka Dotted Potholder and Oven Mitt ($14 each) feel like just the detail I want to hang on the side of my oven. I'm also eyeing the matching apron." —AMR
10 Starbucks Bottled Cold Brew Coffee
"Finally! Starbucks bottled cold brew coffee is available at select Starbucks locations this Summer as well as some grocery stores in western Washington, western Oregon, and Denver. My favorite way to start a summertime morning is with iced coffee, so stocking up on these bottles means I don't even have to leave my apartment." — EC
