Several bloggers I follow create a monthly post about their favorite new items or top best sellers, including fashion pieces, beauty products, home decor, food and more! I absolutely love seeing their roundups every month because I get so much inspiration. Amy Believes in Pink, Caitlin of Southern Curls and Pearls and Sydney of Summer Winds are a few who each create their top monthly picks to share on their Instagram stories and blogs that prompted me to create my own!
Since I am a keen online shopper and inspiration-seeker, I will begin sharing a monthly list of my wish-list items! The products featured on my monthly roundup would be my top choices if I had the budget or justification to buy 10 different diverse items - however full disclosure, some of them may have already ended up in my shopping cart!
Here is my first wish list for the month of July!
It doesn’t get more dreamy than this brand! Ethereal meets trendy fashion with this dress that I absolutely fell in love with when I discovered it on my Instagram feed! Puffed sleeves, tiered ruffles, subtle floral prints and feminine cuts… what more could you want in a dress?! It’s currently sold out because it is so popular, which is probably good for my budget.
Um, hello cutest casual romper ever! I’ve loved this online boutique for years, but
cannot tell you how long I’ve had my eyes on their rompers and jumpsuits that are made of spandex and polyester. The colors and ability to layer this piece really give it versatility. It truly is perfect for road trips, running errands and pretty much every other summer outing!
I bought a few items during Lilly Pulitzer’s mid-summer sale, and wow was it fabulous! I waited in a virtual line for 30 minutes to get my eyes on the beautiful and vast amount of items they had ons sale - totally worth it!
This skort in particular is like nothing I currently own! I'm honestly not a huge skirt-wearer because I'd much rather wear a dress, but every now and then I find an adorable one that I feel ok about purchasing. What sold me on this, aside from its obvious appeal and details, is the fact that it has thin linen shorts underneath! I feel so comfortable in this skort, whether it's for a casual day of errands or dressing it up for going out somewhere. This piece is a game changer!
Though this particular one is sold out, here is another fabulously similar skort! The exact same style is still available in another print.
This wine brand carries a lot of meaning to me, in addition to being one of my all time favorite rosés. The day that I graduated from college my dad surprised me with a bottle of Prophecy rosé after my commencement ceremony. My family sat on our outside patio, sipped this divine wine and paired it with French cheeses. This kind of gathering is almost ritual with my family now that my siblings and I are all older, so I felt like a true adult that day - sipping wine and eating fine cheeses with my parents after earning my diploma.
Anyways, you can’t go through summer without enjoying some rosé! It’s the perfect wine to share with friends and family, and make memories!
Summer is all about weekend excursions and making memories, so this darling weekender bag is perfect for short term trips. And yes, I bought this! I’ve had the same duffle/weekender bag for years that I got for free at Victoria’s Secret back when VS Pink was all the rage (yes I’m that old). While it served its purpose, I needed an upgrade big time. Obviously this was a top choice because it’s monogramed, customizable in a variety of colors, under $50 and straight up ADORABLE! I originally thought I wanted a classic stripe or cargo monogramed weekender, but when I saw this, I couldn’t pass it up.
Working out would be 100% better in this cute set! Anything that has ruffles is an instant sell for me, so these matching leggings and top are naturally on my wish list.
I recently discovered the Lisi Lerch brand and instantly fell in love with their earrings, in particular the Lonestar Southern bridal collection! They perfectly embody class, fun, elegance and boldness simultaneously, instantly elevating an outfit to the level of chic. I wish I had known about this brand when I got married last summer, because I may have picked this pair for my bridal shower or rehearsal dinner.
Regardless of bridal stuff, their summer collection is FAB. I have a hard time choosing which one is my favorite! You can never go wrong with beaded dangles though.
I definitely arrived late to the rattan purse party, but I’m glad I’m here now! I adore how this bag that I purchased in mid-June. It works with pretty much every summer outfit I own, in addition to the wonderful fact that my purpose went towards supporting the Balinese artists who crafted it. I definitely recommend it!
Being a very pale person in the middle of summer, I need a lot of assistance from bronzers to give me a summer glow. As much as I love the ones I’ve been using for years, I am DYING to try this! It is a cream based bronzer that supposedly glides onto the skin for an even and dewy bronze look - yes please! In addition to the easy application, it is also vegan and cruelty free!
If anyone has tried this, please give me your personal review!
Another confession, I bought this self tanner back in May in the shade of Dark, and it has totally changed the game of fake tanning. Because I am incredibly pale and also have eczema/dry skin, fake tanning has not been a friend to me. This formula does not bother my skin, doesn’t smell bad, doesn’t stain clothes… it truly is incredible!
You just apply it after showering and exfoliating (putting lotion on your knee caps, elbows, hands and feet) and then wash it off after 2+ hours. Not only is the application great, but the price is too. You get the mousse, mitt and kabuki brush for just $46.00! I even got a free hair wrap because I signed up for their emails!
