July… I can’t believe summer has came and is almost towards its end. (Let’s be real though, I’m a Fall girlie at heart and can’t wait for spooky szn). This month, I got to go up to my favorite boat (or bote, as Lindsey liked to spell it) away from home (more on that later), got to hit up some fun NYC spots, and spent some time lying out at Carl Schurz Park on the UES. It’s been a good one, and I’m basking in every drop of sunlight I can get (all while actually just slathering myself with sunscreen every 10 minutes and actually using self-tanner, sorry not sorry). Anywho, here are some of my favorite buys from this past month!

Cider Broderie Anglais Short Set — This cutie set caught my eye during a recent Cider dive I did for an upcoming trip, and I’m so excited to style it! While I don’t know if I’ll actually wear the teeny shorts that come with it out and about (they’re very teeny), I can’t wait to pair this top with mismatching long and mini skirts (I have a long leopard maxi skirt that I think would do just the trick).

Cider Lettuce Trim Floral Bikini — Also part of this recent haul I picked up this bikini set. “Lettuce trim” is having a moment right now and I love how feminine and fun it looks paired with this pretty red floral pattern. I’ll definitely be rocking this to the beach in the near future.

RPLZ Eyelet Scrunchie * gifted * (similar on Amazon here) — Thank you to RPLZ for this stunning eyelet scrunchie that I can’t stop wearing since it arrived. I recently edged it up a bit in my latest blog post, and also have already worn it to the office a few times paired with a white tee and mini dress. The options are endless with this and I can’t wait to keep styling it come Fall.

Nike Court Vision Brown Sneaker — During our 4th of July trip up to Lake George, we always head to the outlet shops. There’s a great Famous Footwear story where I’ve notoriously bought almost every pair of sneakers I own, and I couldn’t help to add these to my collection during our latest visit. They’re super comfy, add an essence of cool to any outfit (skirts, dresses, jeans), and they’re pretty season-less (I’ve already worn them a handful of times this summer and I think they’ll look really cute in the fall paired with oversized jeans).

Bolton Landing Custom LWP Bracelet — On our recent trip to LG, I noticed that one of my favorite souvenir shops got custom LWP bracelets with “Lake George” and “Bolton Landing” (the town which I’ve stayed in every summer basically since I was 7) on them. Without hesitation, I had to have one. I spent a few of these summers with Lindsey up in the area, and I just know that she’d be completely obsessed with this. It’s a little reminder of her, and of course, the place I love.
