Weekend Reading 7.4.26
Why so many women have a hard time sleeping. How to plan an easy breezy summer cookout, tons of pasta salad recipes, a lobster risotto I am dying to make. A list of “vacaction-gone-wrong” thrillers to bookmark. The items tourists buy at American pharmacies. How a splash of color can boost your mood. A non-billionaire’s guide to the Hamptons. June’s best beauty launches, several great home tours, shopping finds, and more I hope you enjoy the list.
Carly’s Cut, Vol. 11
June! Is it just me, or did this month absolutely fly by? Goodness, I feel like a broken record. Summer has officially arrived, and I am certainly feeling it. Most days have been spent seeking refuge in an air-conditioned room or a patch of shade at the beach before inevitably making my way to Vino Feo for a frozen sangria. Months like this always make me nostalgic for life in the Northeast, leaving me with a persistent urge to escape somewhere that still cools down after sunset—somewhere the evening lows hover around 60 degrees.
Summery Faves Under $200
We are back with our biweekly edit of under-$200 favorites. There are so many great pieces in this week’s round-up, I hope you enjoy! I am a broken record about this, but if you are new here, I have a “great style under $200” section on my ShopMy page that I update multiple times a week, if not every day! Both Carly and I spend quite a bit of time tracking down pieces at this price point that feel well-made, special, and fun.
Everything I Read in June 2026
Hello! This was a great month of books, with all the travel, I did a lot of airplane and beach reading and managed nine books.
Harbour Island Travel Guide.
It was only my second visit so I’m not an expert; but I do have some favorites!
The Tuesday Ten, No. 12
We’re doing this week’s Wednesday Ten a day early as tomorrow is the first of the month and will be my monthly reading recap. Every Wednesday, I’ll bring you a list of ten things that I think you should know about. I’m excited for this. I often stumble across something interesting and will share it to Instagram, but it has no real place to live. Maybe it’s a new launch, a really great podcast episode . . . maybe it’s an independent designer, an artist, or a must-have shopping find. It will be a different mix every week. You can read last week’s installment here.
