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.
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.
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.
It was only my second visit so I’m not an expert; but I do have some favorites!
