WHAT WE’RE LOVING THIS MONTH
We took a scroll through our order histories and here are three recommended (and very random) purchases from the last month that we want you to know about. We’re only sharing what we love and would buy again (and again and again!). Check them out!
CHRISTA’S BEST OF AUGUST
Studded Python Ruffle Dress from WHBM
You need this dress! I purchased this for a 60th anniversary party for my parents. I was worried about wearing something with sleeves in August, but the material is very light/flowy – and the day of the party was 60 degrees anyway!! It’s such an easy dress – easy to wear, light as a feather (it includes a matching slip) and packs easily in my suitcase – no worries about wrinkles. I wore it with my favorite WHBM sandals and accessorized with simple gold jewelry. The pattern will take you through every season. If you are looking to get lots of compliments on a dress, this is the one!
Black Out Light Dimming Stickers
I like my room very dark! And all those pesky little lights from electronics are VERY annoying when I’m trying to sleep. These little stickers to the rescue! They give 100% blackout coverage and don’t leave a sticky residue. No more annoying little lights at bedtime.
Automatic Ball Launcher/Fetch Machine
Our puppy, Josie, LOVES to fetch and she is having so much fun this new toy! It launches the ball 10, 25 or 40 feet. We’re working on teaching her to drop the ball into the machine. She’s getting close. Will share a video when she masters it!
MEGAN’S BEST OF AUGUST
Chargers are a hot commodity in my house and mine seems to always go “missing.” Picked this one up from Amazon, it charges your phone, watch and AirPods all at the same time! No more missing chargers…
If you like a cleansing balm that melts the makeup (even mascara!) off your face this one’s for you. 3 x reordered and still going.
There is something about an organized kitchen drawer that makes my heart happy. This ziplock bag organizer is perfect and no more jamming those boxes when I slam the drawer closed. A gift you give yourself.
WHAT’S COMING IN SEPTEMBER
Lots of shopping research happening in September to bring you some great posts! It’s rough, but we’re spending the afternoon at Nordstrom to find the fall trends you need to know about. We’re putting together perfect place settings for all your holiday entertaining. Plus we’ll have more outfits we’re wearing (or plan to wear when it’s cooler!). And don’t miss our Friday fan favorite — the weekly walk and talks — filled with fun finds, interesting articles, book and tv recs, tasty recipes…and much more!
We hate to bring up Christmas now, but the holidays will be here in 110 days. How can we help you? Need weekly tips to help you start early, avoid the rush and be prepared ahead of time? Gift guides for everyone on your list? (Who’s the hardest person to shop for?) Need a few party ideas? Let us know. We’re planning now to bring you some great holiday content — make sure your questions and requests get included!
And, do you hate to be the last to know? Well, you don’t have to be! Sign up for our newsletters and get all our info right in your inbox!
