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.
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.
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 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 week’s favorite styles and show you how to wear them.
I love candles, and I usually burn at least two. In the winter, I go for a Santal sort of vibe. Sexy fireplace, Christmas tree vibes during the season. And I really like pumpkin spice in the fall! But in the summer, there are two scents I gravitate toward most: tomato leaves and orange blossom. Gardenia would be a runner-up. I’ve included a few favorite tomato candles. The best one, IMO, is the Hotel Lobby Hamptons candle. Flamingo Estate’s iconic tomato candle is the runner-up. The best-priced tomato candle is this Fig & Tomato Vine from Rewined. I love the packaging, and it burns pretty slowly. The Fig notes are pretty minimal, but it ranks lower than HLC or Flamingo because the throw isn’t as intense; it won’t fill your whole downstairs with scent the way that the others do.
