This Is Why You Can’t Stop Shopping During Your Commute

Commuting can be a drag, but it can also be the perfect time to drink your first cup of joe from your motivational travel mug, catch up on email or zone out listening to your fave women-run podcasts. Apparently, it’s also a great time to open up those millennial shopping apps. According to a new study published in the INFORMS journal Marketing Science, jam-packed trains can actually TRIGGER you to buy more online.

The researchers partnered with a cell phone provider that sent targeted mobile ads to 15,000 riders who took the subway in a large city. They found that commuters on crowded subway trains are about TWICE as likely to respond to a mobile ad by making a purchase, when compared to those in non-crowded trains. “Crowdedness in public transportation, where commuters are often squeezed against strangers with little else to do, is annoying, and yet ironically an opportune moment for mobile ads,” researcher Xueming Luo of Temple University says in a press release.

And in case you’re wondering if the findings are tied to the timing of morning flash sales, the study also shows that these results stay true during varied times of the day and week, along with totally spontaneous circumstances that can cause packed trains, like delays.

The reason: Crowded subways cause people to turn inward, away from the crowds, and immerse themselves in their mobile phones. “Nowadays a smartphone is a good way to mentally escape from physically crowded environments,” researcher Michelle Andrews of Emory University explains. “As a result, people are more involved with their smartphones and may pay more attention to incoming mobile ads when they are in crowded areas.” So snapping up that perfect bag when riding to work on a crowded train? Totally not your fault.

With a new season comes a new wardrobe, and there’s no better garment for warm weather than a dress. J.Crew has undoubtedly mastered the art of spring dresses with their current lineup, and it’s too good not to share!

These J.Crew dresses are breezy and beautiful, plus they toe the line of casual – but with a more chic, luxe feel that you can take from BBQs to dinner parties. These 10 J.Crew dresses will seamlessly fit into your spring wardrobe with easy-to-wear solids and bright, seasonal prints. Scroll to shop my fave picks!

Seamed Flare Midi Dress in White Linen Blend

The tailored seaming that runs down the bodice on this J.Crew dress gives it an elegant and elongating effect, much like drop waist dresses. You'll feel like a total princess when you prance around in it!

What's more is the cotton-linen blend lends this style to a super light wear, which is extremely practical for those unfavorably hot spring and summer days. The flared midi skirt hits around your ankles with a modest raw hem so you can show off your fave spring shoes.

This J.Crew dress is fitted with adjustable straps and a zipper in the back to help you secure the perfect fit. It's available in sizes 00-24 and two other colors – green and black – for $168.

High-Neck Slip Dress in Dot Drapey Cupro

Embrace some French girl style this season with this polka-dotted dress that's every mademoiselle's dream. The 90's-inspired silhouette (high neckline, cheeky leg slit) ensures the utmost comfort when you slip this stretchy slip dress on. It's just as timeless as J.Crew dresses get!

You won't be able to resist the eye-catching print on this navy baby, and the soft fabric it's made of makes it all the better. This design is currently on sale for $159.99 (was $178) and is available in sizes 00-24.

Limited-Edition Anna October x J.Crew Side-Slit Dress

This dainty little dress is living in my head rent-free, truly! Similar to those lingerie pieces that make you feel endlessly sexy, this sultry, satin-y dress features playful zig-zag stitching along the seams and a traditional clasp closure in the back. The thin straps tie into bows that ooze feminine vibes. Pair it with your go-to ballet flats, and the 'fit is ready (and on-trend, too)!

This style may not be as breezy as other J.Crew dresses since it's made of a blend of acetate, polyamide, and elastane, rather than linen or cotton – but it's just as cute! It'd be perfect for date night or a fancy dinner out with the girls.

This dress, made in collaboration with Anna October, is available in this precious light pink or a deep red color for $398. It's shoppable in sizes 00-24.

Empire-Waist Midi Dress in Floral Cotton Poplin

I don't care if florals for spring aren't groundbreaking (heavily side-eyeing you, Miranda Priestly)! I feel super confident when I wear them, especially on beautiful spring days spent outside. That feeling is exactly why this J.Crew dress deserves a spot in your closet.

The empire waist on this style embraces your bust with light ruching before flowing down into a breezy midi-length skirt that makes comfy everyday wear a possibility. The upper part of the dress boasts some stretchiness in the back, so you can move about freely. Finally, adjustable straps join the long list of unbeatable details with this cotton dress to deliver top-tier comfort.

This adorable dress is available in sizes XS-3X for $148.

Gwyneth Slip Dress in Luster Charmeuse

There's honestly nothing I love more than a dress that can take me from spring to winter, and I think this midi slip dress tackles that job with ease. It's pretty no-frills as far as J.Crew dresses go, with a simple Y2K-esque silhouette that'll match with everything. Wear it over a graphic tee or layer under your favorite spring cardi for an easy outfit!

The silk-like finish of this dress' fabric is made of 100% polyester, but supplies a good amount of breathability. I'm a total sucker for this rich green shade, but it also comes in colors like blue stripes, brown, silver, black, polka dot, emerald, and light blue!

This green color is currently on sale for $54.50 (was $98) and comes in sizes 00-24. Other colors range in price, from $57.99 to $105.99.

Fit-and-Flare Shirtdress in Lightweight Oxford

This J.Crew dress will stylishly follow you from the office to happy hour, easy. The tight pleats on the skirt, belt that sits on the waistline, and crisp collar lend it that more formal air, but the drop waist and puff sleeves (it's giving subdued Poor Things style, IYKYK) still feel playful enough for casual wear.

Made of 100% organic cotton, you can be sure this mini dress will keep you cool on warmer days. It'll also provide some coverage for when the sun goes down and the temps drop (hello, long sleeves!). Given that the material's so light, you might be best off wearing some white undergarments under this piece.

This flared shirtdress is also shoppable in a light blue striped style. It comes in sizes 00-24 for $168.

Cross-Back Beach Dress in Linen-Cotton Blend

Okayyy, miss cross-back! This flirty frock is absolutely getting added to my cart for summer. It features a v-neck that's perfectly balanced between sexy and modest, ideal for soaking in some sun rays (just don't forget the SPF). Aside from having a breathable skirt with a pretty high leg slit, the thin straps cross in the back, lending an irresistible vacation vibe to this dress.

This 60% linen, 40% cotton maxi also comes in white and white striped colorways. It's shoppable in sizes XXS-3X and is on sale for $59.50 (was $118)!

Polo Mini Dress in Striped Towel Terry

I swear I'm gonna petition to bring back the coastal grandma aesthetic this year, because this sweet mini dress is serving everything nautical! Its polo silhouette def leans on the preppy side, but without a traditional button-up neckline, this J.Crew dress feels way more relaxed.

This dress boasts a towel-like texture that's made to be worn to the pool or beach this spring and summer. It's unbelievably easy to take on and off, with none of the extra fuss that you might get from buttons or zippers. Wear it with some chic sandals, and boom. Your summer 'fit is complete! Your nextswimsuit cover up, found.

This dress also comes in pink or white for $54.50 (was $79.50), and is currently shoppable in sizes XXS-3X.

Short-Sleeve Chambray Dress

With a solid denim effect, this chambray dress has endless possibilities for styling. And though you'd think it'd be too heavy for wearing in warm weather, the material is actually made of 88% cotton and 12% linen for peak breathability! Still, this J.Crew dress flaunts a nice structure through the collar, cuffed sleeves, side pocket, and tailored hem. It buttons up in the front for added visual interest and practicality.

The dark wash on this denim-esque dress will wear wonderfully with everything from loafers to cowgirl boots this season. The hem hits around the mid-thigh for ample coverage.

This short-sleeve pick is currently on sale for a limited time. Shop it in sizes XXS-3X for $84.50 (was $148)!

Elena Shirtdress in Cotton Poplin

The elegant waistline on this floral cotton dress features some eye-catching ruching and a string tie in the front. Additionally, the front size buttons up for extra coverage. You could leave the buttons undone for some drama, too! The long skirt lands around the ankles, setting the perfect foundation to show off your favorite heels, clogs, or sandals.

This J.Crew dress comes in a few other colors like white, green, black, and blue. This pink floral shade is shoppable in sizes 00-24 for $178!

Stop what you’re doing! Folks, we’ve finally got some intel on this year’s Starbucks summer menu.

Per menu leaks from popular foodie and inside source, @markie_devo, the Starbucks summer menu will introduce some pretty wacky drinks that include never-before-seen flavors and ingredients (hint: Refreshers with a spicy twist)! In addition to 6 new summery sips, it appears Starbucks will introduce a few fruityfood items, too.

The new drinks and snacks on the Starbucks summer menu will allegedly hit stores on May 7, but the coffee chain will *also*reportedly be releasing new menu items before then to tide you over. Scroll for what items will be joining the rumored menu!

Take note that the Starbucks summer menu rumors are just rumors (at least for now), and have not been officially confirmed. Let’s get into it!

When does the Starbucks summer menu come out?

According to unconfirmed rumors posted online, the Starbucks summer menu is set to come out on May 7, 2024.

Does Starbucks have boba?

Photo by Telly Mina / PEXELS

Starbucks has never served boba nationwide before, but they did test it regionally for a brief period in late 2021. According to Tasting Table, only two Starbucks locations (one in California, one in Washington) tested out coffee boba pearls back then. The pearls were also popping boba (like the new summer drinks), but weren't received super well.

One person that tried the boba drinks in 2021 said the pearls were "really small and awkward to drink." People engaging in online discourse about the coffee boba pearls weren't happy about the attention and revenue the boba could potentially take away from small businesses serving authentic Taiwanese boba.

What's On The *Leaked* Starbucks Summer Menu

NEW! Summer-Berry Starbucks Refresher

The rumored Starbucks summer menu lists a brand-new line of iced Refresher drinks, with the Summer-Berry flavor leading! And... it has boba!

This alleged new sip is described as "a sweet summer blend of raspberry, blueberry and blackberry flavors mixed with water, lemonade or coconut milk and shaken with ice." It's poured over raspberry-flavored popping boba, which I expect would amp up the berry vibes even more!

NEW! Summer-Berry Lemonade Refresher

This next rumored sip is shaken with lemonade rather than water, which could give it a citrusy, zingy effect. Lemonade is the perfect bev for summertime, and I have a hunch it could pair really well with the raspberry boba pearls.

NEW! Summer Skies Drink Refresher

The Starbucks summer menu rumors don't quite detail what the Summer Skies Refresher is, but based on the leaked images, I think it could just be the Summer-Berry Refresher with a splash of coconut milk, much like the Starbucks Pink Dink. It'll also include boba! And based on the images, it appears Starbucks could supply wider green straws to help you sip up the pearls.

White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew

We've seen this drink on Starbucks menus before, and it's allegedly returning for summer 2024, which I am so excited about. The White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Brew features "Starbucks signature cold brew sweetened with macadamia syrup, topped with a silky white-chocolate macadamia cream cold foam and finished with toasted cookie crumbles," according to Starbucks.

I feel like nutty flavors are more fit for fall, but it's nice that Starbucks is offering an option for the warmer months with this rumored returning iced coffee drink!

NEW! Orange Cream Cake Pop

The Starbucks summer menu rumors introduce a brand-new cake pop! The Orange Cream Cake Pop is described as "orange cream cake mixed with buttercream, dipped in chocolaty icing and finished with an orange slice design." The cute orange slice design honestly does it for me. I love an orange Dreamsicle, so I hope this Starbucks snack lives up to that standard!

NEW! Pineapple Cloud Cake

This rumored sweet snack is described as an "airy cake layered with a lightweight pineapple cream and pineapple spread with whole fruit pieces all topped with a sweet drizzle." It looks so yum.

What People Are Saying About The Rumored Starbucks Summer Menu

IG @markie_devo

The Starbucks summer menu rumors have sparked a fair amount of excitement online. A few commenters on @markie_devo's initial menu leak post said the proposed lineup looks appetizing and exciting.

"Now this looks good 💯🔥," one person wrote. "Finally something DIFFERENT," another said.

Some Starbucks fans were anticipating entirely different drinks for the summer menu, like the S'mores Frappuccino that came out in 2019.

"Where's the smores frapp😫," the first comment reads. "Wish they’d bring back the S’mores Frappuccino 😔," another wrote.

Starbucks isn't the first big coffee chain to add boba to their menu. Dunkin' had featured strawberry-flavored popping pearls on their menu back in 2021, and Dutch Bros just debuted their version in February 2024. Some Starbucks customers commenting on the menu rumors noticed this.

"Stole from Dutch lmao," one person wrote. "Dunkin did it first lol. But these are super interesting," another said.

Starbucks Is Doing Something Spicy...

Spicy Dragonfruit Refresher

Rumors about some spicy Starbucks Refreshers are also floating around the internet after @markie_devo posted a potential lineup. The first drink (of three) is the Spicy Dragonfruit Refresher. The rumored drink is your traditional Refresher, except shaken with "a new Spicy Chili Powder Blend" to bring a nice kick of flavor!

The spicy Refreshers will reportedly only be available for limited time. Rumors around the spicy lineup say they could be released in stores on April 16, 2024.

Spicy Strawberry Refresher

The Spicy Strawberry Refresher looks the most refreshing of all the rumored spicy Starbucks drinks. It looks like it's just the OG Strawberry Refresher base shaken with ice, fruit bits, and the spice blend. I bet it'd be so heavenly if you ordered it blended with ice, so it becomes a nice slushy texture!

Spicy Pineapple Refresher

I'm most excited about this rumored menu item because in my opinion, pineapple and spice are a classic combo! I've eaten ​way​ too much Tajin-covered fruit in my lifetime, and I can only hope this rumored drink emulates those flavors! This one also seems like the perfect contender to add a lil' splash of tequila for an easy cocktail. 👀

What People Are Saying About The Rumored Spicy Starbucks Refreshers

IG @markie_devo

In the wake of brand-new spicy drinks at Starbucks, some customers were thrown off by the menu rumors that @markie_devo posted.

"🤮 kinda takes away the “refreshing” aspect lol," one person wrote. "But I guess people who like spicy stuff on fruit will be happy."

One alleged Starbucks barista commented on the validity of the menu rumors, saying: "As someone who works at Starbucks, this isn’t fake, we got our chili powder in already 😃"

I'm excited to see how this pans out!
