JUNE FAVORITES
It’s like I blinked and we’re already in summer! I can’t believe June is coming to an end. This month was a blessing with lifted restrictions in New York, and we finally got the opportunity to go to a few bars like normal (shout out to Brandy’s on the UES for the best piano bar experience!!!). This month I’ve also been taking a little hiatus on IG other than posting in-feed but hope to get back into making some more videos and reels as the summer rolls on. I’ve also made a few fun purchase this month so scroll on to read more about what I’m obsessing over (yes, Amazon Prime Day makes an appearance on this list lol)!
FASHION
Amazon Fashion Women’s 2 Piece Drawstring Crop Top + Shorts Set — Aaaaannnd first on the docket is just it! Picked up this cute set on Amazon Prime Day and I’m super impressed with how much I like it. It’s super comfortable, comes in like 129301 colors (jk, only 14, but still!) and makes getting dressed for WFH a no brainer. Definitely considering getting another one! (Maybe in white?!)
ShopWeWoreWhat Ruched Bikini in Gold — I sadly think this color is sold out but I picked this one up a couple months ago and can’t wait to wear it very soon. It’s the ultimate tanning bikini and is also a really pretty apricot-gold shade (more orange in person FYI!). No tanlines, here I come lol.
Pearl Hoop Earrings from Etsy — I’ve been eyeing pearl hoop earrings ever since I began seeing them all over my Instagram feed — and found this perfect pair on Etsy! So obsessed with the size and how they instantly dress up any outfit.
Adidas Originals Hat — Another Amazon buy, this cute hat has been something I've been reaching for when the temps get really hot and I want to protect my scalp from sunburn. It goes with just about anything, makes me feel very sporty (lolol), and yes I did already get makeup on it so you can tell it’s well-loved already.
Steve Madden Travel Tan Sandals — I was in need of a new Roman-style sandal and without a doubt, these were an excellent find. I love how they catch the light and add a little personality to every outfit — even if its just biker shorts and a tee.
Miscelleneous
iPhone 12 — I somehow actually kept a phone long enough to use my own upgrade — it’s a miracle. Let’s hope the trend continues. I picked up the iPhone 12 in White (with a clear case, nothing fancy!) and the camera? *Chef’s kiss*
To end on a full-circle moment after the last year and a half, I know things opening up have a lot of people (including myself!) feeling a little anxious. This is one of my favorite Shakes quotes that helps me get through it:
“Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.”
[Julius Caesar II.II]
Happy July! xx - A. Martine
