In 1916, Woodrow Wilson signed the Organic Act, creating the National Park Service, and Pendleton first wove its now-iconic Glacier Park Blanket. A century later, Pendleton has released an entire line of park-themed items, from Yellowstone bath towels to Rainier doggie beds to Crater Lake beanies, with a portion of sales donated to restoration projects. $20–259

DESIGN
Oncologist Katie Deming often saw her breast cancer patients struggle to find apparel that didn’t chafe at skin left sensitive by radiation therapy. So she made some. The bras and camis in her MakeMerry collection come in super-soft materials, with seams hidden away to avoid irritation, and styles that cut away from tender underarm areas—without sacrificing the pretty. Starting at $58

DRINK
Turn backyard picnics and lazy river days into classy soirées by throwing a quartet of Underwood’s new sparkling wine into a tub of ice. Half a wine bottle in one hefty can brings notes of apple, lemon, and white peach—all just fine in the summer sun. $28 for a four-pack at New Seasons
