Bloomingdale's is known for its iconic Carousel popups, and the latest iteration has completely transformed its store into summer camp central. Camp Bloomingdale's—open through June 9—is absolutely packed with summer must-haves. Consider it a one-stop shop for all your vacay needs (or wants). Wanna make s'mores from bed? Then don't miss out on Bloomingdale's mini s'mores kit...no fireplace required. The company has curated selects straight from your nostalgic camp days, from swimsuits and bug spray to friendship bracelets and cute beach day looks.
I can vouch for it firsthand; I had the opportunity to visit the Carousel and take a trip with the Bloomingdale's team to Hidden Pond in Kennebunkport Maine for a week at "Camp Bloom." It was the perfect way to disconnect as we headed into the resort (a true 10/10 must-visit) and right into cabins that were filled with Camp Bloomingdale's essentials. The weekend included hiking, yoga, and s'mores (of course) with Bloomingdale's keeping me stocked up on vacation essentials like sweatsuits, mini travel size toiletry kits, and comfy sandals.
If you're planning on spending time outdoors this season, whether at camp or not, I’ve rounded up the best summertime essentials with the help of Camp Bloom, Bloomingdale’s latest popup shop. (Also: Be sure to check out Camp Bloomingdale's online or in New York City's 59th Street store location through June 9.) Here are just a few of my favorite selects:
If you're looking to take a trip of your own but haven't landed on a location yet, I really do recommend reconnecting with wilderness at Hidden Pond in Kennebunkport Maine. Use my code BLOOM and get 15% off your luxe coastal retreat—you'll thank me later!
