A Sunny Under $200 Edit

We are back with our biweekly edit of under-$200 favorites. There are so many great pieces in this weekโ€™s installment; I hope you enjoy! I am a broken record about this, but if you are new here, I have a โ€œgreat style under $200โ€ section on myย ShopMy pageย 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.

Styling Last Weekโ€™s Best-Sellers, Vol. 14

Every week onย Instagram, I share the previous weekโ€™s best-selling products. You can always see those collections, savedย hereย on my ShopMy Page. Itโ€™s fun to see what pieces resonate most with you. To build on our weekly best-sellers series, we wanted to introduce a styling element. Each Monday, I will choose three of the previous weekโ€™s favorite styles and show you how to wear them. Today, we are styling this chic smocked dress, this simple dropped waist dress from La Ligne, and this super fun “going out top” from Veronica Beard.

My Skincare Recovery Kit

Over the past year and a half, I’ve dipped my toe into doing slightly more invasive things to my skin, namely micro-needling and the Clear & Brilliant laser. I’m going to write a big post about these things in next Monday’s Substack (you can also reference last year’s post!), but in the meantime I want to talk about what I do after a treatment. After something like microneedling, your skin is very red for a few days. It’s sensitive and vulnerable! My facialist says “no actives for five days!!!!” and truthfully, sometimes I go longer than that, just because my skin still doesn’t feel fully like its best self.

The Wednesday Ten, No. 15

Every Wednesday, Iโ€™ll bring you a list of ten things that I think you should know about. Iโ€™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 itโ€™s a new launch, a really great podcast episode . . . maybe itโ€™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.
