Monthly Must-Haves + Wishlist

I’ve been spending wayyy too much time online shopping in the Q. Like seriously WAY TOO MUCH. However with a recent move and a lot more time spent on social media it has been nearly impossible to avoid being #influenced into some new purchases.

When life is moving fast and we’re not stuck inside I typically spend much less time browsing the internet or instagram for new items, however I’ve taken this extra time to assess my life needs and decided it would be fun to compile this quick list of my recent purchases that I’m seriously loving.

G.TOX ULTIMATE DRY BRUSH

Price: $20.00

A body brush that exfoliates, energizes and improves lymphatic drainage while reducing the appearance of cellulite? Count me in. You’ve probably seen or heard about dry brushing if you keep up to date with the health and wellness world but maybe like me you still haven’t been convinced. After a few friends recommended this and I delved into some serious dry brushing research, I recently decided to purchase Goop’s dry brush and I’ve been incorporating it into my routine as often as possible.

This is definitely something I may not have as much time to practice once normal life resumes but if there’s a time to try it’s now!

*will update you on this item after more frequent use

Lululemon Align 4” Short

Price: $58.00

Okay, I know these are your classic Lululemon splurge, but honestly they’re worth it.

I’ve been on the hunt for activewear shorts that cover my bum but don’t come down all the way to my knee AKA shorts for us petite humans that don’t make us look short and stalky (like bike shorts do). These are the perfect length and they’re super comfortable and soft. I ordered down a size from a friends recommendation and really like how these fit.

Also I realize these are almost out of stock and I really try not to include sold out items on my IG and blog (because that always aggravates me) but keep checking in on these because when I least expected it these restocked for a good 24 hours and I was finally able to get my hands on them.

Nike Long-Sleeve Dress

Price: $67.00 SALE

How cute is this Nike dress!!!!! It may be a little hot for summer but I really don’t care because fashion before comfort 99% of the time. As I work on my golf game I’ve realized that my lack of sport wear is seriously a problem so this purchase was a gift to me from me so that I don’t look totally out of place on the golf course.

You know what they say, if you want to be taken seriously in business (my case golf), you have to dress the part.

Le Specs Subdimension Frames

Price: $59.00

These sunnies took over a month to get to me and I rarely say this (instant gratification person) but it was worth the wait. A friend turned me onto these and I haven’t taken them off since they arrived!

They give me slight IMAX movie vibes but that’s in right now so I really don’t care + the price is right. They fit my face nice and snug and look great with so many different looks.

VDM The Label Swim Top

Price: $70.00

Revolve strikes again with this VDM the Label swimsuit top. I ordered an XS and while it looked like it would NOT fit at all, it was honestly perfect and gave the exact lift and cleavage I was looking for.

I didn’t love the bottoms so I ordered different black ones (for half the price) and am patiently waiting for their arrival PRAYING the blacks are a match.

Homesick Candle

Price: $29.00

I’m honestly obsessed with this Homesick candle, in fact its almost gone after just a month. It smells like Fall which is sort of strange considering it’s almost Summer (YAY!) but it truly reminds me of home and the scent just makes me feel warm and happy. I can’t speak to the other states scents but I feel like the description was extremely accurate!

Homesick is offering candle bundles right now so you can save $$$.

Lioness Military Minds Mini Dress

Price: $68.00

When I said I was #influenced this is really what I was talking about. This damn dress has been on my Instagram for weeks and I finally caved. TBH purchases like this tend not to work out for me but the dress came super quick, is adorable and definitely a keeper. I love that I can dress it up or down and the sage green is not a color I currently have in my closet but is so IN right now.

The material is a little thicker than I expected (AKA I probably wouldn’t wear this down in FL considering it has been 95% humidity) but it’s still a keeper.
