JUNE FAVORITES
It’s finally time for my favorite post of the month: everything I’ve been loving, from fashion, to accessories, home stuff, shoes and more. This month I’ve gotten so many cool pieces that I can’t wait to wear over the next couple of weeks of summer, and I think you’ll dig ‘em too. I also learned so much this month — about my job, what I’m looking for, what drives me. Taking time to self-reflect and unplug has been really nice and I can’t wait to continue doing so as we approach July. Without further ado, here’s what I’ve been loving!
FASHION
Amazon Fashion Wave Bathing Suit — I splurge for a nice bathing suit about once a year, but every other bathing suit I buy during the same timeframe is always a bargain. This adorable wave-patterned suit is from Amazon, fits like a glove — almost looks tie dye in some lighting and was only $16. Would HIGHLY recommend if you need a quick, really cute suit for an upcoming swim-worthy event, seriously.
Schutz Cassia Sandal — Schutz is currently having a blow out sale, and I found these cuties online at a whopping $82, reduced from $165. I’m literally obsessed with the cork all over (from the wedge to the inner sole) and they’re super comfy as well. So CUTE.
miscellAneous
Gold Link Bracelet — Unfortunately I can’t link this baby out because I got it a few weekends back at the Brooklyn Flea Market, but I’ve been wearing it non stop. I’m trying to switch up my amateur stack of bead bracelets to gold ones, and this has been a great start.
Slip Leopard Scrunchie — Slip is a favorite company of beauty and fashion editors everywhere — not only because of their silky, comfortable design, but because they leave your hair completely crease and static free. I got this leopard one at a press preview recently and I haven’t stopped wearing it since.
Everyday For Everybody Livin’ It Up Summer Kit Pouch — I discovered this adorable brand a few years ago at the Indie Beauty Expo, and actually gave them their first press clip! This year, their summer PR package was seriously the cutest, and besides loving the products, I am so starstruck by this really pretty makeup/skincare case. I can’t wait to bring it on my travels to come in the coming months and I love that its totally retro, compact and pretty.
Wes Anderson Book — This book was a gift from my dearest work friend Tembe. I love love love the illustrations in it, its chronology of Anderson’s life and its clever wit. Not to mention, how cute is this cover.
“But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st.”
[Shakespeare, Sonnet 18]
HAPPY JULY!
