Loafers are everywhere this summer. And the two-tone version is the one that stylish guys are wearing most these days. And the Weejuns from G.H. Bass are one of the most reliable, comfortable and affordable pairs you can find. Cut from quality leather, with classic beefroll stitching, they only get better looking with a few scuffs.

Stay hydrated, stay cute. This handy Nalgene bottle (made from 50% recycled materials) comes in three styles—all featuring old school Snoopy scenes. It's part of L.L. Bean's new collaboration with Peanuts. It's the second time they've partnered up—the first was back in the early '80s, and this collection pays homage to some of those classic hoodies, long-sleeve tees, totes—adorned with our favorite beagle and his buddy Woodstock.

Every stylish home needs a good candle. But that doesn't mean they have to cost a lot. Yield is a brand we recently discovered and have been very impressed with their looks, scents and particularly the price. This already affordable brand is currently on sale too, so take advantage and pick up this summery blend of cypress and salt. It's literally a sixth of the price of comparable candles.

Sometimes you find a great piece, with an equally great price. This cotton and silk knit polo looks and feels like it should cost four times as much as it really does. The fabric feels luxuriously soft and it's finished with a relaxed, no-button Johnny Collar, and some on-trend vertical stripes—while the banded cuffs make your biceps look their best, even if you haven't hit the pull-up bar lately.

Summer calls for smoothies and frozen cocktails, right? Well, this is the blender you'll be happy to leave out on the counter all year long. If you imagined the smoothie shop of the future, like an Apple Store and Jamba had a baby, and then imagined what the blenders in said smoothie shop would look like, you'd probably picture something a little like the Beast Blender. It's powerful, secure and one of the most quiet on the market—what's not to like?
