Welcome to the “Best of June 2023” from Style Among Friends! We kicked off June with lots of travel tips and ideas. Our 4th of July outfit inspiration AND all the fun in the sun supplies from Amazon have us craving a beach/pool week. The 1st Annual Style Among Friends’ flower arranging party was a huge success. (Have you hosted yours yet?) From one-piece swimsuits and travel bags to personalized gifts for friends AND a trip to Sea Island, Georgia, we’ve covered all the bases this month. Let’s check out the bestsellers on the blog and our favorites from June.
And, in case you missed it, here are the Best of May picks.
Your Top 5 for June
Your “Top Five” for June tell us you guys are ready for summer! Seeing what you all are loving is half the fun for us. These are the top five (in no particular order).
- This Amazon one-piece swimsuit that took Christa by surprise. A huge hit with all of you and us! Over 2k 4 1/2 star reviews
- The thick purse strap that we all need to update our bags for summer. Looks especially good with a clear bag for stadiums and concerts.
- Hosting a crab feast or a back yard BBQ? These fly fans will save the day (and the meal). Megan has the rechargeable version.
- This neoprene tote is the perfect carry-on/beach/pool/baby/roadtrip bag.
- Rainbow pens for the win! We love color coding our blog meeting notes and these are perfect for the job. (Thanks, Bonnie!)

Our Top 5 for June
These are our favorites from the last month and we’re excited to share them with you. As always we searched our order histories and looked at the stacks in our closets and came up with our top five from the month. They are randomly spectacular and quickly becoming must haves. Some you’ve seen before, and some are new finds!
Christa’s Best of June 2023
1 Rails Collins Organic Cotton Military Jacket
This is the ideal weight for summer (lighter than a usual denim jacket), and look so cute on. Wear it with the sleeves long or roll them up. Perfect to pair over a summer dress, or bring it on your next vacation for the cold airplane. You’ll find so many uses for this.
I shared these last summer, and still love them! They’re my go to sandal to throw on when running errands, after a workout or just around the house for support. Great if you have plantar fasciitis. They cushion, absorb impact, and help reduce stress on your feet/knees/back. Be careful if you wear them wet — they do get a tad bit slippery.
Pro tip: They do wear out! I recently replaced my original pair that I had for about a year, and boy what a difference!
This is a great summer dress, under $50 from Amazon. It’s lightweight, and a good length (not too short). Pair it with some white sneakers for a casual look!
4 1-1/2 Inch Wide Satin Ribbon
Might seem like a random favorite, but I LOVE this ribbon from our flower arranging party. (And it was definitely popular because so many guests asked for this link more than anything else!)
Lots of colors and it ties the prettiest bows on gifts. Definitely something you should add to your gift wrap supplies, only $12.99 for 40 yards (2 yards of each color).
5 Cayman Jack Margarita Cocktails
Looking for a new summer drink? These are a favorite at my house! Check out the “fun in the sun” post for more summer ideas we love!
Megan’s Best of June 2023
This soda is my new favorite. So refreshing and relatively “clean” ingredients. If you’re looking to spice it up, my mom sent this recipe for a Spanish summer-y cocktail using this lemon lime soda.
This cami has been on repeat, I’m washing it daily so I can wear it again. It’s the perfect “modesty” layer for dresses and blouses that have a deep V. I’ve worn it so much I’m ordering a second to keep the rotation going.
3 Fly Fan (and Rechargeable Version)
These fly fans are keeping my outdoor dining game strong. They are rechargeable and move the air just enough to keep the bugs off the food table.
4 Olivia Garden Speed XL Round Brush
Last time I got my hair cut my hairdresser (Hi Stephanie!) turned me on to the EXTRA LONG version of my long time favorite brush. You may ask, “Why would you need that?”. And the answer is, your hair will dry 2x faster! Crazy. Photo shows comparison to the the regular length/same brush.
5 Vince Camuto Selaries Sandals
Always searching for the unicorn, you know the perfect neutral sandal that you can wear with EVERYTHING. The SCHUTZ clear sandals are close, but sometimes a girl just wants a nude slide. This is the best I’ve found so far. Under $100
