8 Mesh Flats For Effortlessly Chic Summer Outfits

Everywhere I look (ahem, shop), it’s mesh flatsthis, mesh flats that. Whether it’s a cool woven pair or a boundary-pushing jelly design, it’s quite clear that mesh flats were made for warm weather comfort. Seriously – I’m rarely reaching for sneakers or boots in the thick of over-90 degree temperatures and would much rather have a breathable (yet stylish) shoe on-hand to help combat the pesky summer sweats.

There are so many different styles of mesh flats out there, so I’ve pulled together a list of the 8 chicest ones that’ll instantly give your summer looks a boost.

Plus, the buckle up top is easily adjustable for your perfect fit.

DSW

Kelly & Katie Giselle Mary Jane Flats

The embroidered accents on these cuties elevate them to be a bit dressier, so if a polished summer look is what you're searching for, these preppy mesh flats are where it's at! The stark white colorway on this pair is always going to be classy, no matter what you pair 'em with.

Reformation

Reformation Bethany Ballet Flats

5 Easy Cleaning Hacks To Refresh Your Space This Spring

Culligan
water filter

Spring cleaning is the perfect chance to refresh your home and your beauty routine. Declutter, open windows for fresh air, swap out linens, and deep clean every corner — creating a space that feels lighter and brighter so you do too.

Lately, we’ve been obsessed with water quality at home, and it’s something we don’t talk about enough. Clean water isn’t just better for drinking; it impacts everything from our laundry and appliances to our hair and skin. As we refresh our space for spring (and beyond), we’re making sure every drop — from the kitchen sink to the shower — is working in our favor. That’s where Culligan comes in.

Thirdman

From bathroom buildup to spotty dishes, Culligan’s smart water softeners reduce hard water residue and make your cleaning easier and last longer. And their most advanced reverse osmosis systems are certified to reduce 90+ contaminants in your drinking water, including lead, bacteria, chlorine, “forever chemicals,” and more.

There’s something reassuring about knowing your water is cleaner — whether you’re drinking, washing, or cleaning. We partnered with Culligan to show five easy ways to create a cleaner home this spring.

Uliana Kopanytsia on Unsplash

1. Follow the two-minute rule.

If a task takes less than two minutes (like wiping down counters or tossing laundry into the hamper), do it immediately. This small habit prevents clutter from piling up and keeps your space consistently clean.

2. Spring clean your beauty routine.

If you want a home that stays cleaner longer — and hair and skin that look and feel healthier — a water softener might be the must-have appliance you didn’t know you needed. Hard water leaves behind a stubborn residue that clings to hair follicles (hello, limp locks and frizz), fades color treatments, and contributes to dry scalp. It can also block pores and prevent the natural oils from reaching the skin's surface, leading to irritation, dryness, and even flare-ups for those with sensitive skin.

3. Purify your air naturally.

We need clear air just as much as we need clean water. Swap artificial air fresheners for houseplants like peace lilies or snake plants, which help filter toxins. You can also boil lemon peels and rosemary in a pot of water on the stove to release natural antibacterial properties into the air.

Rachel Claire

Protect your appliances from the inside out.

Run a cleaning cycle with a cup of white vinegar in your dishwasher or washing machine to break down limescale and mineral buildup, which can shorten the lifespan of your appliances and lead to costly repairs. For long-term protection, consider installing a water softener. Culligan water softeners remove potentially damaging minerals from your water before it reaches your faucets, and helps keep your appliances running like new (and dishes sparkling clean!).

DIY non-toxic cleaners.

Ditch harsh chemicals and make your own all-purpose cleaner by mixing equal parts white vinegar and water with a few drops of essential oil (like tea tree or lavender). It’s budget-friendly, eco-conscious, and safe for kids and pets.

Culligan

Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be a hassle — especially when you start with cleaner, safer water. Take one thing off your to-do list by scheduling a free consultation with Culligan. Their experts will test your water and offer personalized recommendations tailored to your home and your needs — no guesswork, no stress. And you’ll have cleaner water every day without lifting a finger.

One Walmart shopper who reviewed the chair said it's “amazing quality. I get compliments on it. It's roomier than it looks. The chair was so easy to assemble!

Ayo Edebiri's New Apple TV+ Rom-Com Show Is For 'Nobody Wants This' Lovers

We're still waiting to hear if Ayo Edebiri will lead an Emily Henry movie (fingers crossed!) but we did just get confirmation Ayo's finally starring in a rom-com! (Alongside Will Sharpe hello!) But following in the footsteps of Netflix's Nobody Wants This and Running Point, the AppleTV+ project, called Prodigies will be a multi-episodic TV show. Keep reading for everything we know about the upcoming show.

Here's what you need to know about Ayo Edebiri and Will Sharpe's Prodigies, coming to AppleTV+ soon.

What is Prodigies about?

Prodigies follows Didi (Ayo Edebiri) and Renn (Will Sharpe), two former child prodigies who are trying to deal with their seemingly ordinary life in their early 30s — and their long-term relationship. And as the official synopsis reads, "As individual hopes and needs feed into and conflict with their shared lives, the series challenges the fallacy at the heart of romantic storytelling — that the tale is over when the heroes get together. In life, surely, that is just the beginning?"

Where can I watch Prodigies?

The show will be on Apple TV+, but stay tuned for an official Prodigies release date. Hopefully we'll see new episodes in 2026!

How many episodes will Prodigies have?

Prodigies will have seven episodes total. Stay tuned for the official release schedule and episode titles.

Who's in the Prodigies Apple TV cast?

Frazer Harrison/Getty Images

The Prodigies cast is led by two of our favorite TV stars right now:

  • Ayo Edebiri as Didi
  • Will Sharpe as Renn

And both of these actors are also going to be executive producers.

Stay tuned for the latest updates on Prodigies before it hits Apple TV, and make sure you read up on The 8 Best '90s Rom-Coms That Prove The Genre Will Never Be That Good Again for even more romance.

  • Starting off with fabulous shoes is a must when it comes to the Sex and the City universe.
  • Loving the "summer in the city" vibes!
  • Carrie Bradshaw dealing with an army of rats is something I didn't know I needed, but I'm already laughing!

  • Seriously though, what's going on with Carrie and Aidan?!

Who's in the 'And Just Like That' season 3 cast?

Max

For starters, the main cast members, Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie, Cynthia Nixon as Miranda, and Kristin Davis as Charlotte, are all definitely making a comeback. Other returning cast members include Sarita Choudhury as Seema, Nicole Ari Parker as Lisa, and John Corbett as Aidan.

There will be some departures, too. Most notably, Sara Ramirez, who portrayed comedian Chez Diaz, and Karen Pittman, who took on the role of Professor Nya Wallace. But don't worry, because there will be two new exciting faces showing up on your screen.

First is Patti Lupone, the Tony award-winning actress and singer. According to Michael Patrick King, she will "have a story arc" in Season 3. Next is comedian Rosie O'Donnell, whose character is named Mary. It's unclear how many episodes Rosie will be appearing in, but back in May, she shared a photo on Instagram of the script for one episode entitled "Outlook Good."

Fans can look forward to seeing additional newcomers like Cheri Oteri, Jonathan Cake, Mehcad Brooks, Kristen Schaal, and Logan Marshall-Green.

Now, to answer the most long-awaited question: sadly, Kim Cattrall, who played the iconic Samantha Jones, will not be showing up in the third season. Fans might've gotten their hopes up after she returned for one scene during the Season 2 finale, but she's confirmed that she won't be appearing in the latest season.

When does 'And Just Like That' season 3 come out?

Max

And Just Like That season 3 debuts on May 29, 2025!

Where can I watch 'And Just Like That' season 3?
