Hope you're having a really good start to your weak.

I am really excited to do a July Favorites video.

This is one of my favorite videos to do, and, you know, I really am looking forward to August and all of the things they're going to take place there.

But I had a bunch of exciting things that I found this month, So let's get started.

Also, I'm going to be sure the link everything the description below if you want to do any shopping, so definitely check that out as well.

So first I want to talk about this traveling sweatshirt because I have been looking for something that is cozy, something I can always put on on top of anything I'm wearing.

Especially if I'm just around the house and stuff.

I really needed a good sweatshirt for this upcoming trip.

I'm going on where I'm gonna have, like lots of campfire time and stuff, so I just want to wear something that's a little bit cozy.

It's been something that has been really good.

If I'm a little bit chilly inside, or if it's like a chillier summer night, and I think will be really good transitioning into fall.

So this is actually like a terry fabric, so it's pretty light.

It's not like a heavy, thick sweatshirt at all.

It just kind of feels like a long sleeve shirt.

But again, it's just so cozy.

So it's like a varsity cut.

You know, one thing I've really realized why I love it so much is as a petite the sleeves actually reach exactly where they're supposed to.

There not too long, which is usually the case or too short.

So it has been so extremely excited to have this, and I found so many ways to wear it so far.

So a couple of ever lane pieces I want talk about First of all, the day heels I've been wearing almost every day this month, you guys have probably noticed if you watch these videos, I've been putting them with so many outfits and talking about them a lot.

That's because they are really comfortable, and they are casual to an extent for a heel like they are still very dressed up, and they can dress up in outfits, but they're not too formal.

They're not like stilettos or anything.

You can just wear them, and it just kind of props up and outfit a little bit, though as faras comfort, A lot of people have been asking how comfortable they are.

Can you truly wear them all day long?

Let me tell you about like how they fit my foot.

So I have a narrow foot and I got my true size, which is six and 1/2.

I would say that after about two or three hours, like I can notice that my feet are a little sensitive and spots I do think that these are a little bit roomy on me, which is good, because I think it's good for heels to be a little bit roomy because your feet swell throughout the day and you got this synched hell, which just pushes your heel and your full foot into the shoe a little bit more.

So that's why I was suggests, like if you put him on and they feel a little bit loose, that's really what you want.

But yeah, I've been really happy with every lane, and any time I've had to return or exchange, it's been super easy.

So no problems there.

I think heels or shoes and General can be really tough to nail on getting the size right online.

So this was pretty painless.

As faras, the returns and exchanges go so real quick.

I just have to talk about, however, Lane reintroduced, they're cropped tease.

I had one white crop t that I got from them last year, and I work all summer.

I wore it through the fall through winter into spring, and I'm so happy that they restocked them because I've had won t shirt that I got for like, 15 bucks and his last me all that time.

So I got a replacement white one, and I was saying that the fabrics a little bit figure this time around, then the one that I had it was more like the Pema stretch hat.

If you're familiar with every lane, it the team was like a lot thinner.

So this one is a thicker one.

And then I got the black one as well, which is just such another like classic color that I can make the match with different pieces, and I've been really happy with the black one.

I love to wear crops tease, especially these ones, because they just feel flattering to me.

They are really great for if you wear high waisted pants, I wear a lot of high waisted pants and so it just gives a really nice look and balance to my outfits.

So next this month, I was introduced to a new brand, which is sisterhood, and when I saw their brand, I just was like in love, because it's everything that I want my outfits toe look like.

But then it's also really affordable.

They gave me a few pieces, and this was one of them.

So I wore this piece in one of my videos from last week, so you guys can check that out if you want to, but I just really liked this one in particular.

Like I knew out of all of the pieces that this was my favorite.

This is the Lonnie blouse in the color coffee polka, so polka dots would be why, and I just think that the color is very vintage and beautiful.

I felt like the polka is something that is still very organic like, instead of having a printed on dot pattern, this one is more like scattered and just really unique.

I would say that the fabric to is this almost textured ruffle type.

And then, of course, the buttons on here are something that all of my sisterhood pieces do have, which is like this little dainty button.

So definitely check that out on their website to get more of a closer view of that.

But overall, this was the top that I feel was an essential in my wardrobe, something I can always own.

That's one thing that the sisterhood brand does is they want everything that they make to be timeless.

So a lot of their pieces actually look kind of like they're from the nineties.

But you definitely could still see yourself wearing them for, you know, as long as you want.

Thio.

For several decades we've been so as I've mentioned, I have a vacation coming up and it's actually like a family vacation.

I didn't want anything that was like, too over the top, but I still wanted to be like the cool aunt.

So I loved this one swimsuit that Jeanne Dumas was wearing.

You know, she's obviously just so chic and put together all the time and still very like classy and feminine like I could go on, but honestly, like, she had this one bathing suit on in her instagram feed and I went to go check it out, like to see where to find it, like the brand and everything.

So I found it was Monday swimwear, and I got one, but it took a while because when she wore it sold out.

So this is the Leopard Bahamas bathing suit that is from Monday swimwear.

And this was the first time that ever shopped from minus one where they actually came.

Everything was really beautifully packaged.

So it came in this beautiful like, white, minimal, reusable box that I could have even the whole experience of saying something like any day that you're wearing a bikini on a Monday is a good day.

There's something like that.

And so I was just really pleasantly surprised by the whole experience with that.

And that's pretty important to me is like the brand experience.

I liked that this was something that kind of like you could pull up on your hips a little bit.

I liked that it has, like, the spaghetti straps, and it was really flattering up top.

I felt like overall like this wasn't like I'm wearing a leopard print.

It was kind of still minimal in subtle.

This was something that made me still feel like I don't know, put together and like, I'm excited to be on vacation.

So that's kind of why I went with this.

I'm super happy with it.

I've also been talking online with you guys about this swimsuit because I shared it on my instagram.

And then some of you guys bought it, too, I think overall, a lot of people felt like it has, like, good coverage on the butt, but you could still like to make it look just the way that you feel like it flatters you the most.

And then also it's got like cups and coverage and stuff.

So I found one more swim suit for my trip, and this is really like a fun thing to wear to a ce faras one pieces go.

This is having a lot of fun because it's got these little ties on the top.

It is really nice because it's got this, like, scooped back, which is really lovely.

I'm working on my sand lines.

They're all over the place, right now.

One thing that was cool about this is that I don't have to worry about these coming on tied because they're just an accessory.

But they are sewn on, so you can't, like, remove the ties.

I mean, you could probably if you took it's the Taylor or just cut him off overall like this is something that was kind of unique.

I felt like the ties actually gave a little bit more proportion.

Thio, my body style and a vertical stripe is really good for petites as well, especially if you feel like you want to lengthen your torso at all, because this will definitely do that with the vertical stripe.

One piece bathing suit because that's all about the torso and making that look longer.

So both of these bathing suits are actually really good because they cover up the butt really well, which I feel like there's so many bathing suits out there.

We know that are just like this is the season of the wedge, and so it's been kind of like challenging to find something that would be good around like family.

So both of these ones did really well, and I think I'm gonna have a lot of fun.

So moving on to, like, beauty stuff, I want to start out with a cleanser that I've been using.

Which is this explicate cleanser by Kate Somerville.

So I've used Kate Somerville's products a lot in the past.

Like I've used her ex Fulla Kate, which is so amazing you just have it as a scrub.

You put it on in the shower on your back or your face, and you do that like once a week.

And that stuff is amazing.

And I always keep that in my shower.

But the cleanser was really fun to try.

So it's supposed to be able to still have, like, the glowy effect.

But it doesn't have drying effects at all.

Like some cleansers.

D'oh!

It also has fruit enzymes in it.

So that's gonna make it to where your skin is just ready and refreshed and ready to be able to, like, absorb anything that is supposed to help your face like any moisturizers or toters that you put on next.

So that's just something I've learned recently.

I actually went and got a facial, and that was something really cool because she was telling me about pumpkin enzymes and how that just, like, opens up everything and perhaps the skin.

So that's what this cleanser has a CZ.

Well, it's like a pumpkin enzyme as well as some other fruit and times.

So, yeah, like any time of skincare, always do your own research.

I'm not an expert in that, but I've loved Kate Somerville's products, and I've been really happy with this one.

Also a bit about my skin is I have, like, more oily skin, and I still want to be, like, cautious about wrinkles and stuff.

So that's kind of where I'm at right now.

So a toner that I've been using this is really good.

This one is from the body shop.

It's called British Rose.

It's petal soft, gentle toner, and it actually has really rose petals in it from Britain.

So this has been really fun to be able to just put on my skin after I cleanse and before I put on moisturizers, and I always have a surprised whenever I use a toner, how much makeup and debris is just still on my face.

Any time that I've ever cleansed my face and so having a toner has just helped me a lot to, like balance my skin.

Make sure that I'm helping like any dark spots or anything like that.

And this one has been very cooling like since it's a gel.

I'm able to put it on cotton pad or whatever and like blood on my skin, and it just kind of cools things down.

So I've been really loving that so far.

This next piece was actually in my purse video second link that if you guys want to find, like, what's in my purse?

That was a fun video to put together.

I've been loving this.

Birds, bees, ultra conditioning with bomb.

So I've always tried like birds, bees and chapstick and everything.

And as someone who has just ridiculously dry lips all the time, even in summer, I'm just really ticked off.

So I've been using this one, and I just love it so much so it's most agreeable.

Toe have four hours of moisture ization, and I think that's pretty true.

Like obviously, just like any lip gloss or lip product, it's hard to keep stuff on your lips, but I would say that my lips have felt moisturized for that long?

Definitely.

I have noticed a big difference.

The cocoa butter I've been learning a little bit more about.

And that's been really helpful to So as you guys might know, by now I have been on the search for a better mascara.

I really liked the glossy A one that I found last month for like an everyday look.

But as someone who really likes toe have like a full mascara.

Look, I was really happy Este actually recommended this one, so I tried it out.

This is the land comb monster, Big mascara.

And I was just, like, really impressed because it does have just a really big volume is voluminous.

Look, that has been really fun.

And also, I've been looking for one that does not smudge because I tried the better than sex one.

And that was my only complaint with that one is that I just smudged a lot and I would tape a video and I get all I heated talking about clothes and then all the sudden I've got all of this much is down here, and that was not cool.

So I was really happy with this one.

I now on Lee put on mascara on the top Lashes lashes, not the bottom ones.

And I've also been really happy throughout my day.

Putting this on like it doesn't leave me with a tired look after a few hours, so I've been just so happy about this, and I can't share more positive reviews than this.

Like, I am completely obsessed with this mascara, and I know when it runs out, I'm gonna buy somewhere.

So finally, I want to talk about podcasts because there's one in particular that I've been listening to all month long, which is the raw milk podcast by Beth Kirby.

I've been following along on her local milk blogged for a long time now, and just her beautiful photography has always caught my eye, and it's been really interesting to learn more about her and her own experience while she's been doing all of us, and her podcast has really opened my eyes to a lot of that stuff.
