Volume 26: July

Christmas in July. Kinda.

Don't tell me I'm the only one currently watching Hallmark Christmas movies in July. No?

The air conditioning is on and I'm wearing sandals but it's a nice reminder of another season. With all of the one-day sales and specials of the week, retailers are doing their best to get us shopping this month. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (truly one of my favorite holidays of the year) is such a good opportunity to prep for fall and find things for your home. Sale time is the perfect time to try a new look or a new scent. Here are a few of my favorites to try this weekend. But don't wait! Items have been selling out since day one of pre-sale, so check them out now.

Bar Tool Set

If you know me, you know I love a good cocktail. Even more so in the sunshine. Even if you're not the bartender in your home, this would make a perfect gift for perfect someone.

It's summertime, try breaking yours in with an Aperol Spritz.

Nest Candles

A repeat favorite of mine. If you enjoy scented candles, try these grapefruit candles from Nest and enjoy. Let me know what you think!

Crosley Turntable

Who's got some 45's waiting to be played? This mini player is so darn chic in ivory.

Pet Sweater

I wasn't able to grab this in the right size for little Dexter - hoping they get more in stock. How do you keep your pooch cozy in the fall?

Black Marble Serving Board

This black marble serving board would be great for a party charcuterie board and as a great backdrop standing up on your counter.

Here's how we've styled similar serving boards.

Chic Shower Curtain

A white shower curtain always makes me happy. Gray and black are next in line. But with stripes, even better.

Spa-like Skincare

There was a duo included in the Anniversary Sale but it's so good it sold out! Try this Discovery Set and instantly feel like you are using the good stuff found only in a spa.

Enjoy your July and we'll see you next month with more sunny inspiration!

Thanks for being here!
