• I’m seeing straw circle crossbody bags all over Pinterest. They’re a trendy seasonal piece, and since I’m late to the game and summer’s winding down, I ordered one with good reviews for $25 on Amazon. I think it will be perfect little purse for our beach trip next month!
• Speaking of beach trip shopping, Kendi made me buy this $19 dress on Amazon (I ordered in in khaki green).
• If you’re feeling crafty and have an unused basket lying around, Paper & Stitch can help you turn it into a cute summer basket bag.
• Anna shared her top tips for staying productive when you work for yourself.
• I have a skin care empties post coming up next week, and I’m on my 4th or 5th bottle of this antioxidant vitamin C serum. If they ever discontinue it, I don’t know what I’ll do.
• This old classroom transformed into a creative work studio is a dreamy workspace. I love the concept of giving old, unused buildings a new life; especially when they’re used as creative co-working spaces.
• Emma rounded up 5 sunglasses trends for the season, and I want every pair.
• Before the summer sneaks by, I need to make these thyme, honey, peach and goat cheese crostini!
• I popped into Target for laundry detergent — currently loving the Mrs. Meyers basil scent — and, as per usual, wandered into the shoe department. I couldn’t resist these cheetah espadrille mules for $25.
• My childhood friend, Amy, launched a new wellness blog with her sister, Callie, called Greater Garden Good this week. Check them out!
• Another friend, Melissa, recently started a style Instagram @missflstyle. We share an obsession with skin care and makeup, so I’m loving her updates.
• I have a few over-ripe bananas on my kitchen counter that are going straight into this peanut butter and chocolate chip banana bread recipe when I get home!
Enjoyed this post! I am curious about that crostini. Kendi made me buy that dress too, but it didn’t quite work for my body/height. Did you love?!
Scratch that on the dress. It was a different one she made me order. She’s got so many amazon dress recommendations lately – mine was a maxi. :)
What do you think of the new dress you ordered? I looked at several of the styles, and they are CUTE!! And priced perfectly for me. Also, reading the productivity list because I’m failing in that department lately. I routinely wake up at 3:00AM and gasp for air. Working for myself is the biggest challenge of my life – it’s wonderful, but terrifying all at once. And the BASIL Mrs. Meyers is LIFE!! XO!
Unfortunately, it wasn’t Prime, so I won’t get it for a couple weeks. I’ll be sure to report back!
Love that list of how to stay productive when you work for yourself! The struggle has been real lately.
YouTube is my downfall. I think, “I’ll take a break and just watch one video…” *three hours later* “$#@!”
I’ve seen that dress all over Pinterest! Is it good quality??
I just ordered it today, so I’ll report back! I’m hoping it’s not see-through (but if it is, I’ll use it as a swimsuit coverup). It has good reviews on Amazon, so fingers crossed!!
