JUNE FAVORITES
Juneeeee! Flewwww! Byyyyy! I can’t believe it’s already over but this month was full of socially-distant hangs, me finally getting my whole apartment together (yay) and lots of cooking and hanging in my new space. This month I of course haven’t gotten the opp to wear some new purchases yet, but next month I’m doing some small (socially distant) trips that will hopefully allow me to break out my new bikini, purse and more! Here are some of my favorite things I got my hands on this past June.
fashion
WeWoreWhat Cow Hide Bikini — I’m not entirely sure what it is, but I’ve been obsessed with cow hide. I got a cow hide rug, cow hide pillows on my bed, and now this cow hide bikini (lol!) I loved the cut of this style and can’t wait to wear it when I hopefully head out boating sometime this summer. The material is also 10/10!
Tie Dye Champion Sweatshirt by Made by Ro — I wanted a tie dye Champion sweatshirt like the next girl, okay?! Seriously though, I love the look and I love a good sweatshirt in the summer (yes, I’m one of those crazies who will have the AC blasting and put on a sweatshirt instead of turning it off!). This tie dye is a nice subtle periwinkle-gray and goes with my mostly neutral wardrobe/aesthetic as of late!
Makeup Hair Clips — Another trend absolutely everywhere, these hair clips take the cake. I got these specific ones from a mailer a couple of months ago, but highly recommend grabbing some on Amazon for super cheap. I don’t have any in black yet which I feel is sacrilegious for me so I’ll be ordering more.
JW PEI Fae Acrylic Chain Top Handle Bag — Ok so. I’ve always heard about JW Pei but never took the leap to buy something because it’s just one of those brands that you see on Instagram and you’re like — is this THIS good to be true?! Well, I'll be the first to say it. IT IS. This stunning vegan leather bag was just too good to pass up for only $49 (it’s on SALE people!). I love the tortoise acrylic and can’t wait to take some pics with it. Truly is stunnnning.
UO Illume Medium Geo Piller Candle — I was looking for a unique geometric candle HOLDER and saw this one from UO and thought: how genius to basically make the candle as a holder. This is such a unique piece and I can’t wait to start burning it.
UO Phoebe Tiered Fringe Floor Lamp — I have this weird thing where I’m VERY picky about floor lamps. Literally I went through hundreds of pages on Wayfair and other home furnish sites looking for the perfect one. I finally found this one, that well, doesn’t actually look like a lamp and that’s my favorite part about it. I love love the fringe art deco shade and it perfectly ties together the ivory and gold details I have throughout my apartment.
Leaving you with a Shakes quote very closed to my heart:
“Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Such shaping fantasies,
that apprehend More than cool reason ever comprehends.”
[Midsummer 5.1]
Here’s to summer and making the best of what we can in these times <3
