The Readers’ Picks for June
We love seeing what all our readers are enjoying! Here are some of the top items you loved from June.
1 // Christa’s WHBM dress is a great choice for summer. Very comfortable, lightweight seersucker fabric, trendy asymmetric button front with a twist, and just dressy enough for a daytime event. Add this one to your closet and you’ll be reaching for it all summer long. Comes in regular and petite sizes, runs TTS.
2 // Add a professional looking centerpiece to your next get together using this Rectangular Acrylic Vase. We both LOVE ours for the easiest centerpieces. It makes flower arranging fool proof! Also makes a great gift, with a bouquet of flowers.
3 // These Bombas Cushioned No Show Socks were just right with Christa’s favorite FitFlop sneakers on her Disney vacay–they’d be perfect for everyday, too! Socks didn’t show AND they never slipped!
4 // Cocofloss is by far Megan’s favorite dental floss. We know it’s not glamorous, but it’s a necessity and Cocofloss makes it fun. Ya gotta do it, so why not use the best floss on the market. Even our dentists recommend it!
5 // Who doesn’t love a shirtdress? This J.Crew Shirtdress was very popular (and STILL ON SALE) this month. They never go out of style and work for every body type. The price point is perfect to “try the classic trend” if you are looking for a summer dress.

Christa’s Picks for June
1 // These two colorful Baublebar necklaces for the summer are a great way to add a pop of color to all your summer outfits. I get more compliments on these than any other necklaces I have! I bought two to wear them layered (like the model in the listing–if you see a look you like, no shame in copying it!). You can also find all my favorite jewelry here.
2 // This Zella dress is on my list AGAIN because I don’t want you to miss it! I now have it in both the black and the tan. It’s perfect for these extra hot summer days. Moisture wicking fabric, figure flattering cinch waist, pockets. Comes in 4 colors; runs TTS, but if you have larger boobs, you might want to size up.
3 // This Gibsonlook dress is another perfect summer dress. The color and stripes are calling for a beach vacation! Wear it dressed down for lunch with the girls, dressed up for date night or even as a coverup. A few notes about the dress: the drawstring to adjust the waist is hidden (love that!), it fits TTS, and the sleeves can be worn rolled or long.
4 // This vase from Amazon will have your guests thinking you went to a flower arranging class! It is so easy to make beautiful arrangements with this. For this size, you can fill it with two bouquets from Trader Joe’s. Buy the two pack and gift one to a friend and have a little summer afternoon flower arranging time.
5 // I read this book a couple of years ago, and loved it! I added it here because (a) it is sooooo good and (b) it made our readers’ recommendations when I polled for summer reading ideas on Facebook. It’s definitely worth checking out if you haven’t read it. (And be sure to follow us on Facebook for more great ideas.)

Megan’s Picks for June
1 // Christa influenced me with her picks in, What to Pack for an Empty Nester’s Weekend Getaway. This Zella dress is the perfect blue, super comfortable (HAS POCKETS) and a flattering elastic/tied waist. The tech fabric is cooling and the scoop neck isn’t too low — just right. I’ve worn it as a beach coverup and as a day dress. Super versatile.
2 // My stylish friend, Jessica, gave me a bottle of this Dr. Teal’s Melatonin Sleep Spray and I am ADDICTED!! Spray it on your pillow before you go to bed for a better night’s sleep. Bonus points, it makes your hair smell really nice the next day.
3 // It’s backyard BBQ season and this little cordless (rechargeable) lamp is a must. So much easier than candles and yet still gives that warm romantic glow. Perfect for a summer night.
4 // An oldie but a goodie and still an all time favorite, Londontown Illuminating Nail Concealer in color Milky. This nail polish goes on like a professional manicure, lasts for at least a week and looks really great with a tan.
5 // For years I’ve been on an unrequited quest for the perfect mascara. You guys, I found her. THIS IS IT! Sweed Cloud Mascara is by miles the best mascara I’ve ever used. And it comes in “brown”. Clean beauty at it’s best.

We’re getting very excited at Style Among Friends HQ. Two of the biggest retail sales of the year are coming in July–the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and Amazon’s Prime Days.
