Hi! It’s the first week of Summer “break” in our house and since we have a good two weeks before camps start I’m definitely leaning into the little things. The everyday joys and simple swaps that freshen things up for the warmer temps without a lot of thought or effort. Some I’ve loved for years and others I immediately added to my cart.

Gave the bags I already own the cutest Summer update with a fresh crossbody strap. Makes me smile just looking at it

I used to avoid dresses & tanks that required a strapless bra until I found this one! By far the best I’ve ever owned..I mean, I forget I have it on which is unheard of

Baublebar’s personalized phone cases are always a joy and a bestseller. They’re typically excluded from promotions but they just kicked off their annual phone case sale so head on over! This week only…

This tinted SPF lip shield goes with me everywhere! Or save with the day & night duo AND use my code LATELY for a double save.

Oh my gosh how have I never tried this brand before??? The most adorable Summer beaded styles ~ I ordered this & this bracelet to stack, this necklace & a personalized one for each of the kids.

I don’t leave home without this toothbrush in its UV cleaning case. This thing is genius.

The only self tanner I use on my face for a warm, subtle glow (color light/medium) And this for my body (in medium) which helps me feel so much more confident wearing shorts.

Then I always put a little of this on when I’m wearing shorts for a subtle glow.

Still blown away that these are paper plates!!! Not only gorgeous patterns & matching napkins but high quality for kids lunches outside and easy Summer hosting. I’m constantly getting asked where they’re from.

Summer laundry is always something special so I put in a restock order

I’ve had issues with so called “clean” mascaras still irritating my eyes so I’m testing a handful of new brands and so far this one has been incredible.

And this little thing has made me actually enjoy washing my makeup brushes.

Summer workhorse, goes with everything, keep by the back door flip flops. Also couldn’t help grabbing a second pair when I saw this color!

I didn’t think anything could compete with my ride or die Summer fragrance but this one comes very close!

An under $30 lay flat organizer has been a game changer. It’s been put to heavy use over the last year and still looks new (I have the large size)

Slow Summer mornings in LAKE’s new dreammodal pajama set ~ a cool fabric with a great fit, I have the marigold pencil stripe colorway.

This might be the cutest water bottle I’ve ever seen.

Doesn’t get much better than a crisp, fresh sheet set for Summer.

I’ve worked so hard to transform my skin the past couple of years (see this post..) so most days I’m throwing this hat into my bag so I’m always prepared.

I can’t tell you how many times having a blank card set on had has saved us for last minute teacher/birthday/hostess gifts. My liberty set sold out at Anthropologie but found it in stock here.
