I’m really 50/50 on how I feel the speed of the summer has been. In some ways I cannot believe we’re already near August, but in other ways I’m still very glad we have a handful of weeks left before school kicks off!
While I’m certainly not in “fall clothing” mode, I have been eyeing a few things recently and find myself leaning towards all things woven or perforated. Like this sweater from Varley, isn’t it pretty?
I thought these earrings from ABLE were pretty, and a nice update from a traditional gold hoop.
These sneakers from Target look very similar to a pair I’ve gotten from New Balance, but they’re under $30!
I am in a bit of a reading rut right now so I picked The Nightingale back up (only read about 30% of it and then abandoned it) and I’m swept back into the story.
And here are a few things I mentioned on Instagram Stories recently that you may have missed:
Honest Beauty Sheer Lip Balms in Dragonfruit and Summer Melon
Londontown Nail Concealer in Pink – really love this for a barely there color between dip powder manis!
Steve Madden Pointed Toe Mules
Everlywell Metabolism Test – this helped me identify new things that I wondered about, leading me to set up an appointment with a functional health doctor.
Grande Fanny Bag from Clare V. – I absolutely love this bag.
Removable Bag Chain from Amazon
Travel Case for makeup brushes
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask – wear this every night.
Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Eye Masks
Lisbon Wants Moor nail color by OPI – my go-to nail color!
Away Carry On Suitcase – I’ve used this on a few trips now and genuinely love it. It fits so much and still slides into the overhead compartment on a plane!
Wander Beauty Getaway Palette – shared a demo of this on Instagram, and it’s saved to highlights as well!
Sunday Riley Lactic Acid – a gentle but effective chemical exfoliator
Yummly Thermometer – building my confidence when I want to grill!
@aliandreeamakeup jewelry collab with Cinco
Red Crop Top from Amazon The Drop– I wish I got it in black before it sold out.
Aesthetic White and Creamy paint colors by Sherwin Williams
Pony Pick – essential for cutting out clear elastics.

Oh my gosh, SO many amazing links! Thank you for all your hard work in putting these together!
Hey Kate, you probably mentioned this on IG and I missed it- what type of bra would you wear with that Target tie back dress? It’s super cute but I don’t think I could go braless!
