Summer Finds & Favorites
A compilation of things I’ve been reaching for regularly, recently purchased, or have been eyeing…
ATHLETA SHORTS: My go-to athletic shorts! These are also an (inexpensive) favorite.
UNIQLO TEE: The best basic heavyweight crewneck tee. Only $15 and the white is not see through! Runs really small: I go up 2-3 sizes for a looser fit.
QUINCE SUNNIES: My Ray Ban wayfarers have been kicking since 2011 and since I’m pretty picky about sunglass shape, haven’t really felt the need to change things up. These are similar but look a little larger, plus they’re polarized and $50.
J.CREW SLEEVELESS DRESS: I haven’t been drawn to many dresses over the past couple of summers but loved this one immediately due to the simplicity and timeless silhouette. It looks cute belted, too. 100% cotton, machine washable, and under $100!
HERMÉS SANDALS: These were a honeymoon purchase last summer but I love their versatility and the perfect neutral shade. There are lots of similar styles available at a much more palatable price point including these and these!
J.CREW GAUZE DRESS: This isn’t the most flattering dress I’ve ever worn but I have the shirt version from last year and love how breezy the style is for the hottest days. It works equally great with sneakers as it does with sandals and will likely become a go-to travel outfit for me in the warmer months!
HOOPS: A similar pair of hoops has been a go-to for me recently–I love that they go with everything and make a little more of a statement than studs.
HILL HOUSE DRESS: I have three Ellie dresses and after trying on the Anjuli style at the Hill House store a few weeks ago, decided it would be my next HHH purchase! It initially wasn’t my favorite online but the cut was really flattering when I tried it on in person. I typically size down in the Ellie but the Anjuli fit TTS.
TRETORN SNEAKERS: The sneakers I’ve raved about for years and my favorite to wear with dresses in the summer!
KAYU TOTE: It’s not the most practical bag (small and doesn’t close) but I bought this bag two years ago right before our wedding weekend and have used it a lot when we’re staying within a hotel property for meals or drinks.
ATHLETA TENNIS SKORT: I picked up this skirt in an effort to branch out from my go-to shorts (and these)…also will hopefully come in handy for the tennis I keep thinking about playing :)
SAINT JAMES STRIPED TEE: My go-to striped tee for years! They’re lightweight and easy to wear; I always size up and air dry.
J.MCLAUGHLIN SHORTS: These shorts are at the top of my summer wishlist…I love that they’re a dressier version of the typical pull-on style but look just as comfortable.
