This was another great month of reading. I finished my friend Chassity’s book, Pink Sand Summer and really loved it. I read more non-fiction than usual. I finally tackled Project Hail Mary (very excited for the film!). Plus, some really good thrillers (omg, the new Sarah Pekkanen was my personal favorite — well worth pre-ordering!).
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 share it on Instagram, but it has no real home. Maybe it’s a new launch, a really great podcast episode . . . maybe it’s an independent designer, a sale worth noting, or a must-have shopping find. It will be a different mix every week. You can read the first one here and the second one here.
One of the questions I get asked the most is what skincare product to apply, when!?
We started something new last week: every week on Instagram, I share the previous week’s best-selling products. You can always see those collections, saved here on my ShopMy Page. It’s always fun to see what pieces resonate most with you. Every Monday, I will choose three of the previous week’s favorite styles and show you how to style them. Today, we’re styling these fun lime green Tecovas sunglasses, this classic J.Crew long sleeve, and my very beloved Freda Salvador cobalt flats. PS – You can see last week’s post here.
A profile on Anne Hathaway (she really is having a moment right now!), literary thrillers that explore Hollywood’s dark side. Eight of the most fascinating biographies to read, how adding friction to your life can be good for you. The best drugstore sunscreens. “How do I wear barrel jeans?” What to pack for a beach vacation. A really good (old Hollywood-inspired!) Crate & Barrel collab. How to decorate your mantel. The trailer for Focker-in-Law! What’s new on Netflix this May. Plus the usual shopping finds, even more links, and more.
