Fashion Favorites

Looking at this list, it’s clear we’re all getting ready for summer. Easy dresses, linen pieces, denim shorts, and comfortable sandals dominated the month.

Madewell The Jules Slim-Straight Jean

One of my most-worn jeans for good reason. The slim-straight silhouette is flattering, versatile, and easy to style with everything from sneakers to sandals. If you’ve been considering a pair, the Atlin Wash that I have is currently 30% off at Zappos. Fit tip: Size down if you’re between sizes; I wear the 29.

Tommy Bahama Darcy V-Neck Sheath Dress

This polished knit dress is comfortable, flattering, and easy to dress up or down. No wonder it sold out so quickly. If you missed out, Tommy Bahama has several similar styles that would be worth a look. Fit tip: It runs true to size for Tommy Bahama; I have the medium.

J.Crew Factory Crewneck Beach Sweater

The perfect lightweight summer sweater for cool mornings, breezy beach days, and air-conditioned restaurants. A great throw-on-and-go layer. Fit tip: Size up, if in between; I have the medium.

EVEREVE Nora V-Neck Muscle Tee

An elevated basic with a flattering neckline and just enough structure in the shoulders. This one works beautifully on its own or layered under jackets and cardigans. Fit tip: Size up for a more relaxed fit. I went with the medium.

Quince European Linen Sleeveless Swing Dress

Such an easy throw-on-and-go summer dress. It’s made of 100% European linen, with a swingy silhouette that feels breezy, flattering, and super easy to style. Fit tip: It runs true to size; I have the medium.

Dolce Vita Deane Strappy Sandal

The standout shoe of the month. These strike that sweet spot between stylish and practical, and the strappy design feels especially current right now. Fit tip: Size down, if in between; I have the 8.

EVEREVE Mary Textured Shift Dress

A one-and-done textured shift dress with pockets and a relaxed fit. Easy to dress up or down, and versatile enough to double as a swim cover-up. Fit tip: True to size, or size up if you’re between sizes. I have the medium.

also wearing: similar Dolce Vita sandals (8) // Eric Javits hat

Tommy Bahama Relaxed Jean Shorts

A polished pair of light-wash denim shorts with seaming detail and an easy 4” inseam. Comfortable, flattering, and polished enough to dress up or down. Fit tip: These seem to run small; I wear the 10.

PAIGE Anessa 31″ Wide Leg Jean

Perhaps the most universally flattering and versatile wide-leg jeans out there right now. These come in a wide range of washes, colors, and inseams, including cropped 27″ versions that I especially love for summer and 33″ lengths for taller women. Fit tip: They run true to size in my experience; I currently wear the 30.

KUT Jane Denim Shorts

A classic pair of denim shorts with a finished hem, vintage-inspired wash, and an easy fit with a 4 1/2″ inseam. These have that relaxed, everyday feel without looking sloppy. Fit tip: They run true to size; I’m in the 8.

A softer, more relaxed take on the classic denim jacket. The lightweight fabric makes it ideal for spring and summer layering, and I love it so much that I own it in both Moonstone and Indigo Blue. Fit tip: It runs true to size, or size up if you’re between sizes. I wear the medium.

Beauty, Home & Lifestyle Favorites

While fashion always takes center stage around here, several beauty, home, and lifestyle finds earned a spot among May’s best sellers too. Some are longtime favorites I’ve shared for years, while others are newer discoveries that clearly struck a chord.

Beauty Favorites

A handful of longtime favorites made the list this month, along with a few products that have become staples in my own routine.

• Kerastase Resistance Heat Protection Serum
  One of my favorite products for protecting my hair from heat styling. It helps smooth frizz, adds shine, and leaves my hair feeling softer and healthier.
• Laura Mercier Caviar Tightline Eyeliner
  A longtime favorite for defining the eyes without looking harsh or heavy. The formula is creamy, long-wearing, and perfect for tightlining.
• AmLactin Foot Repair Cream
  Not the most glamorous product, but it works. This rich cream helps keep dry, rough heels soft and smooth, especially during sandal season.
• Pixi DetoxifEYE Depuffing Patches
  Perfect for tired eyes, early mornings, and special occasions. They help reduce puffiness and make you look a little more awake and refreshed.
• It’s a 10 Haircare Miracle Leave-In Product
  A cult-favorite product that detangles, smooths, adds shine, and helps protect against heat damage all in one easy step.
• Sonicsmooth Hair Identifier Spray
  This clever spray highlights facial hair before dermaplaning so you can see exactly what you’re removing. Apparently a lot of us are dermaplaning these days because this one was surprisingly popular in May!

Travel & Organization Favorites

Summer travel season is definitely here. These practical finds were some of the month’s biggest surprise sellers.

• Quince Transit Quilted Duffle Bag
  One of my most-used travel bags. It’s lightweight, holds a surprising amount, and has really good organization so I can easily find and access everything. I use mine whenever I need extra space, and the trolley sleeve makes it easy to stack on top of my suitcase while traveling.
• Travel Cable Organizer
  One of those simple little products that makes a big difference when you’re traveling. It keeps chargers, cords, and small electronics organized and easy to find instead of getting tangled at the bottom of your bag.
• Coowoz Travel Backpack
  A surprisingly roomy travel backpack with lots of compartments and organization, and it’s a great price. Paul loves this one and uses it whenever he travels. It’s a fantastic carry-on or personal item option, especially if you’re looking for something functional without spending a fortune.
• Handy Laundry Folding Lightweight Step Stool
  Not exactly glamorous, but incredibly practical. Whether you need a little extra height in the closet, pantry, or laundry room, this lightweight folding stool is easy to store and surprisingly handy.
• AM/PM 7-Day Pill Organizer
  A simple but useful organizer that helps keep daily vitamins and medications sorted and easy to manage, whether you’re at home or traveling. One of my favorite features is that the individual daily compartments pop out, making it easy to take only what you need for a weekend getaway or short trip.

Wellness & Lifestyle Favorites

A few wellness and everyday-life products also made the list, proving that we’re all looking for simple ways to make daily routines a little easier.

• Bloom Creatine Gummies
  An easy way to add creatine to your daily routine without having to mix powders or remember another supplement. I’ve been taking these consistently and love how convenient they are.
• Nutrafol Balance Hair Growth Supplement For Women 45+
  One of the most frequently recommended supplements whenever I talk about hair thinning or hair growth. It takes patience and consistency, but many women swear by it.
• Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X
  One of my newer discoveries this year, but so far, I’m impressed. This at-home laser hair removal device uses the same laser technology found in many professional treatments, and I’m already noticing slower regrowth after just two sessions.
• ARMRA Colostrum
  A longtime favorite for supporting immunity, gut health, and overall wellness. This continues to be one of the most popular wellness products I share.

Thanks for another fun month of sharing, shopping, and chatting with me. I always enjoy seeing what resonates, and I’m already curious to see what ends up on June’s list!
