July Favorites
July was such a whirlwind month for us with packing and planning for our move—it seriously flew by! It’s hard to believe that tomorrow we are moving out of our apartment and starting a new chapter. Here are some of my favorites from July…
JENNI KAYNE SUMMER DRESS
I was gifted this dress as part of my ongoing partnership with Jenni Kayne and it’s such a perfect summer dress—especially with the 90-degree days we’ve been having lately! It’s so easy to throw on and looks great with a sweater over top too. Use code ALEX20 for 20% off your Jenni Kayne purchase.
BEAUTYCOUNTER COUNTERTIME SUPREME CREAM
I’ve mentioned my love for the Beautycounter Countertime line in a previous favorites post and wanted to specifically mention the Supreme Cream. I started using this more regularly after running out of the Soft Cream and love how luxurious and hydrating it is. I don’t find it to be too heavy for day use, even during the summer. It contains Tetrapeptide, which helps to increase elasticity and minimize the appearance of fine lines while smoothing and boosting firmness. It’s definitely made my skin firmer and glowier.
‘BECOMING’ BY MICHELLE OBAMA
I finished this book earlier this month and it was such a great book. Reading about the thoughtful, incredible work both she and Barack did for our country, my heart broke many times over thinking about our current situation. I’m trying to take her optimism and hope with me each day, and I’m excited to listen to her new podcast, debuting this week!
ENTIREWORLD SWEATSHIRT
I had been eyeing Entireworld’s sweats ever since I felt them in person last year. They frequently sell out quickly (especially during Covid) and I was excited to get my hands on the cream set and gray sweatshirt this month. The cut and fabric are perfection—they feel like the most perfect vintage sweats. Super cozy but still lightweight. I’ve been living in mine!
KINFIELD OUTDOOR ESSENTIALS
I was introduced to the outdoor brand Kinfield last fall and quickly became a big fan! Kinfield makes skincare essentials for the outdoors, all made with clean ingredients. The Golden Hour bug spray is deet-free and their cooling aloe Sunday Spray is a favorite for refreshing while outdoors. I also love the unique Waterbalm that’s hydrating and easy to apply on the go. They have the cutest merch including the mesh bag pictured above and my favorite, the Out of Office baseball hat! Use code ALEX15 for 15% off your Kinfield purchase.
JENNI KAYNE STRAP SANDAL
I absolutely love these sandals & their simplicity. They’re so versatile and go with everything and I love the easy slip on style. They come in a variety of colors and materials too! Use code ALEX20 for 20% off your Jenni Kayne purchase.
WESTMAN ATELIER EYE LOVE YOU MASCARA
I’ve been dying to try Gucci Westman’s new beauty line, Westman Atelier, for so long! I recently purchased both her mascara and her blush (I got Petal) and am a HUGE fan of them both. Gucci is a well-known makeup artist and wanted to create a line of high-performing makeup with active skincare ingredients and safe formulas. Her products are pricey, but they are made with super clean ingredients and are really great products. I absolutely love the mascara—the formula goes on so smoothly and the brush is so soft. The formula has conditioning ingredients and makes your lashes feel really healthy, while giving you volume and definition. P.S. I love following Gucci for her makeup tutorials and her amazing style!
LA VIEILLE FERME ROSÉ
While staying with my mom this summer we discovered this rosé and it’s become a favorite in our home! It’s easy drinking and at less then $10 a bottle, you really can’t beat it.
