We already throw on a Threadless T-shirt on the way to the beach, so why not complete the package with these Threadless + Havaianas flip flops? Each pair of the limited-edition, comfortable sandals features a Threadless design. So, they’ll look just as good next to your beach towel as they will on your feet. $28 at threadless.com/havaianas.

’Tis the season of iced tea, and Heath Ceramics’ limited-edition iced tea set makes that late-afternoon tradition extra special. Our perfect Sunday? Whipping up a batch of homemade brew and impressing our friends with this colorful presentation. $175 at heathceramics.com.

Our years-old laptop isn’t making anyone jealous, but if we secure it in the Steven laptop case we’ll be sure to turn some heads. The case, by Krochet Kids Intl, is designed for the 13-inch Macbook and made using hand-crocheted yarns from Kenya and an organic cotton lining from Uganda. Plus, half the proceeds of the cases benefit children’s education initiatives. $50 at krochetkids.org.

Ever since we started dressing ourselves, we’ve been well aware that a belt completes any look, but it never dawned on us as a way to polish up home accessories. Leave it to Post 27 owner and designer Angela Finney-Hoffman to fashionably cinch this handmade vintage-fabric and leather pillow. $125 at Post 27 (1819 W Grand Ave, 312-829–6122, post27store.com).
