Happy JUNE! The weather is finally starting to heat up in Virginia, and I am so ready for summer!
Expect to see me in nothing but sundresses from now til September. 😍 I've got a lot of fun favorites to share with you today from May including some great picks for the upcoming season, so let's get into them!
- OPI "Miami Beet": This has been my nail shade of the month - it's the perfect deep purpley-red.
- White sunglasses: Julia Berolzheimer has a pair of chic white sunglasses that she always wears and I wanted to find a similar pair, so I picked these from my favorite Amazon sunglasses seller and I love them! They're polarized and look expensive but they're under $15 - they come in other colors too.
- Candy necklaces: I got two of these necklaces in milky aquamarine and turquoise to layer together, and I already want more. They are SO gorgeous and the perfect look-for-less for the gorgeous Irene Neuwirth candy necklaces at less than 1% of the price of the real ones.
- Sweatshorts: I pretty much live in sweatshorts in the summertime when I'm at home, and I accidentally dyed all of my white ones pink last year so I've been in the market for some new ones. 😂 I'm picky about my sweatshorts, they have to be a nice length and a nice thickness. These are my favorite that I've found (besides my old ones which are no longer sold!) and they're on sale for under $10! I got my usual size small, but they're very oversized so I could've gotten an XS and still had plenty of room. The only critique I have about them is the drawstring on the inside is a continuous loop rather than having two ends to tie together - I might buy a new drawstring to replace the existing one.
- East Coast sweatshirt: The quality of this sweatshirt is SO nice - the text is
printed into the material so it won't crack or peel. I sized up to a large and it's perfectly oversized. This shop has a ton of cute sweatshirts which are all available in multiple colors, I would definitely purchase from them again!
- Lano Glossy Balm: At this point you probably know my love for the Lano brand, so I'm always intrigued when they have a new product. This glossy balm has become a favorite this month, it's super thick and nourishing with a tint of color.
- Cay Skin sunscreen: I got a sample size of this sunscreen and I'll definitely be purchasing a full size bottle soon! It's SPF 45 and it's slightly tinted, so it helps slightly even out your skin tone and gives your face a nice glow.
- Pinrose "Sun Saint": I have a handful of summer fragrances that I love, but unfortunately this is the only one I can recommend because the others are discontinued! I fell in love with this one last summer and just ordered a new bottle for the season.
- Trader Joe's Espiral vinho verde: I'm a big fan of vinho verde wine in the summer - it's a drier white with the slightest effervescence. It's usually very affordable (under $10!), which is the case for this Trader Joe's bottle - it will definitely be a repurchase for me!
- Nude lip combo: I have a hard time finding lighter nude lip colors that work for me - many nudes pull super orange on my skin tone! I have a combo that I've been loving lately, I apply a base of MAC "Love U Back" (which seems to be sold out - "Honey Love" would be a good alternative!) and pat a light layer of Urban Decay "Backtalk" over top of it.
- Pajama pants: I have an old pair of jersey pajama pants that are the BEST and I had a hard time finding something similar! These men's pajama pants are my favorites I've found, I got my usual women's size small and they have the perfect relaxed fit (and I appreciate the drawstring waist for a customizable fit).
- Watching: My favorite shows this month were all on Netflix! I enjoyed the new episodes of Firefly Lane although I can't get past my dislike of Kate's character! 😂 I think I just don't like Sarah Chalke's portrayal - I just find her annoying! I enjoyed the new season of Selling Sunset lots more drama this season! Lastly, I'm rewatching Bloodline because it feels like a good summer show to me, mainly because it's set in the Florida Keys, haha.
I hope you have a fabulous weekend! My brother and I got my dad tickets to see Dead and Co. as a birthday gift, and the concert is tomorrow - I'm so excited to hear about it! My dad's favorite band is The Grateful Dead, and we couldn't miss an opportunity to send him to a weekend Dead and Co. show, even if it's not "the same" as the original band - I know he's looking forward to it and it looks like the weather is going to be nice, I'm so grateful for that!
