Chunky Gold Hoops
Color: Gold
Brand: Anne Klein
Store: Amazon
I want to kick my first off my first "Monthly favorites" post since 2011 (whoops) with a pair of earrings I have worn literally almost every day since I purchased them back in March.
No, really - look;
Ever since the gold jewelry trend popped up I have been searching for the perfect pair of gold chunky earrings and never found anything I loved. They were all either too small or too hoop-lie so I was thrilled when I came across these gooooooorgeous earrings are by Anne Klein and immediately fell in love!
I'm seriously considering getting a second pair in case something happens to this one.
I pop them on whenever I'm not having a good morning and cannot get myself to dress "up", and they immediately elevate any look - I also love wearing them with jeans and a tee as well! I think part of why I'm such a fan is because they're so versatile!
Trust me you will not regret this purchase.
Satin PJ set
Color: Mint
Brand: Stars Above
Store: TARGET
Size: M (I always size up in sleepwear because I like it looser)
I kind of have a thing for these. I have a few silk & satin PJ sets and this one was a veeeery happy recent addition! A lot of these sets look really cute but end up being rough or super cheap so I was pleasantly surprised when this one by stars above felt like butter on my skin - especially considering its pricepoint! I got the striped mint but am considering going back for the other to as well. I mean after all, can you really ever have enough pjs? They're great for sleep-overs, vacations, weekend getaways as well as home.
The loungewear combo to end all loungewear combos
Color: Gray
Size: XS, both
Brand: Stars Above
Store: TARGET
I am not joking when I say that if I had to choose between keeping only this or every other piece of loungewear I own, I would gladly hand over my cozy drawer because it's just been out-cozied.
These pieces feel like ACTUAL clouds. No, they feel like a soft, sun-peeking through behind fluffy small clouds on a warm spring morning. I'm not being dramatic. Seriously. It feels like someone poured silk on me. This is definitely something that can be worn year-round as it's not too thick for Chicago summers, and layers well in the winter. If there is only one thing you buy from this list - MAKE THIS IT! I have spent ridiculous amounts on VS cozies and they have not been anywhere nearly as recommendable.
This is a jackpot and I am going back for the other color.
THE dress
Color: Black (also comes in white & peach)
Size: S
Brand:
Store: TARGET
This dress is on this list for several reasons;
Work to play - it can so easily be taken from one to the other just by switching out your shoes or bag - the silhouette makes it super versatile!
Flattery - we all love a bit of that! Most dresses of this length and shape can cling onto the weirdest places of your body, but this shape is so beautiful that it gives you enough room to move and enhances your silhouette as the pockets (yes, pockets!!!) hold the structure really well and ensure you're not caught in a skin-tight mess. The slit goes up to about mid-thigh (you can't see that too well here) so it has a little bit of sex appeal in the most subtle way (my favorite).
Comfort - seriously, it feels like you're wearing comfy sweats but... you're actually in a chic dress! This is also something I am going back for in cream because I have a feeling I will get so much wear out of it! It's the kind of staple that you will reach for every time you need a quick outfit solution and want something you know looks and feels good. That's a winner in my book.
Reusable cotton mesh grocery tote
Color: Beige (comes in many!)
Size: One size
Store: AMAZON
I was really skeptical about these because I thought that they were far too small to really hold anything, and nowhere near sturdy enough - I'm glad to report I was wrong on both counts! These little totes stretch quiiiite a bit and hold a lot of groceries! I cant wait until we are allowed to use our own bags at the stores again - this is a much easier way to carry everything than those bulky paper bags + it's way better for the environment! And at this price, there are no excuses ;)
The eyebrow pencil that swore me off anastasia
Color: Brown
Brand: L.A. Girl
Store: TARGET
I picked this up randomly on a quick target run because I ran out and I am blown away! It's by LA Girl (never heard of them before) and is super thin which I love because it allows for so much precision and a very natural look. At $5.99 it's a major steal and will definitely be something I re-purchase, and possibly even stock up on!
Set of two silk scrunchies
Color: Nude Set (comes in pink/blue as well)
Brand: n/a
Store: TARGET
This was a definite impulse purchase but I'm not mad at it! I picked up the nude tones but they also have a blue/pink set - I love these because they're really chic and functional! I use them when I'm wearing a super neutral look as I feel like it would be a little too cutesy with patterns/ruffles/etc, but they are great for pulling my hair back in an easy low pony or layering on top of a sturdier scrunchy when tying my hair higher.
I hope you enjoyed July's favorites! Tag me if you end up getting any of them - I love seeing your posts and how you style things ♥
All my love,
