Recently I have noticed that there are a few new things in my routine and wardrobe that I have been loving for summer!
Some items linked below are my former favorites. Most that I’m linking all the fun and random things I have purchased recently! Some of these have been purchased with gift cards I hoard, some a treat to myself after a looooong school year & some as gifts for my birthday! 🙂
Books
Some of my new summer reads below!
Clothing
God bless my Lulu gift card! I am obsessed with these “tracker” shorts. There are so light weight and easy to throw on. The align joggers are so cute too! I love aligns but sometimes they are TIIIGHT so these have that cute loose jogger look, which I have to admit I’m still getting used to! They are pricey but SOOO worth it. I have had all of my Lulu stuff for years and the fit and quality are always amazing. I also just bought this blue dress from the Danielle Bernstein collection and THIS FIT is out of the world. It hugs so tight in all the right places! I’m wearing it for a fun photo shoot coming up and I’m so excited!
Wellness
The Lululemon yoga mat has been on my list for years! It is still back in the apartment “airing out” as some reviews said it had a chemical smell. I didn’t notice that but left it to air out for safe measure when we get back. I also got this super chic looking water bottle. Personally I think water bottles with hour tracking marks are kind of tacky and hydro flasks are too clunky for me to use as an everyday waiter bottle! This one is light and great for on the go!
Fun
I just bought this recipe tin from Pink Olive and oh my heart be still!! I think there is a little old fashioned human inside me dying to get out. I love handwritten recipes and I hope this tin can create a little spot for my own! Also under fun is my switch and painting aka some down time. I have been loving watercolors so much! When I have some time I love to play animal crossing too 🙂
Beauty
I have been a loyal moroccan oil fan but once my bottle ran out I wanted to give the one that my hair stylist in NYC uses a go! I love a salon look and smell and this brown bottle is amazing!! She washes my hair with moroccan oil shampoo and conditioner so I think they are the perfect mix. I have also been loving the Essie gel nail polish! I’m not comfy yet to head into a nail salon and I don’t really see the point in spending $30+ for nails when I’m not working. I usually get my nails done so I look put together at work so for now at home manicures are my favorite!
Etsy
Kind of random stuff here! But I love the seashell dishes I got. Unfortunately they were vintage and only one of a kind which I love and hate because it’s something I have that’s unique but not easy to pass along. I linked a similar one below. If you like the look just try searching “vintage sea shell dish” or “white shell dish” a bunch of styles will come up!
Random
These are all random things! We just got this juicer to try out and I am so excited! We have also been loving adding in vital proteins collagen into smoothies. I love the vanilla one to add into my morning coffee if I’m feeling it. I have been using these disposable cameras to catch some summer shots. I love how these turn out 🙂 I also live with my blue light glasses on. These ones are great! I’ve been loving my five minute journal too! Finally a few people were asking me what frother I use! I use this one linked below! It’s a Nespresso frother and it is amazing!
Always,
Madison
I need you to be my shopping guide.
