Some favorites from the month:
I am obsessed with these earrings from Heaven Mayhem!! They so kindly gifted them to me but I’ve been a fan of Heaven Mayhem for years now. They’re such a stand out earring and though they look heavy, fit comfortably on the ear. I love wearing these with my hair slicked back for a cool going out look, or to make my otherwise simple outfit a little more interesting.
2. I am not usually a hoodie girl but I am so painfully obsessed with this pink one from Graviet. The color is so fun for summer, it’s so high quality and I love the boxy fit. They have so many fun colors too.
3. It’s ice cream season. I am a huge supporter of getting soft serve multiple times a week, it just makes me feel like a kid again! My favorite spot in Philly is 1-900 ICE CREAM if you’re curious.
4. It’s peony season and I could not be happier. Trader Joe’s has amazing ones for a great price, I highly recommend.
5. Merit Beauty so kindly gifted me their new tinted mineral sunscreen called The Uniform, and I have been obsessed with it all month. It’s lightweight but buildable if you want it to be, feels great on the skin, and doesn’t pill at all like some sunscreens do. This is my summer makeup/skincare staple!
6. If you read my As Seen At Brimfield Flea Market, you’ll know I bought this incredible vintage wooden bead bag for $25. And I am so obsessed with it. It’s the perfect little going out bag that’s fun and unique but still useful. There are definitely a ton of similar ones you can find on eBay if you’re interested!
7. I am all about the shiny eyeshadow right now and this one from Rabanne is perfect. Easy to use and makes for the perfect night out look- this combo with no mascara is my go-to right now.
8. No Particular Order (my favorite journal brand, you guys already know) sent me the sweetest Conversational Coasters, of course in the shape of buttons which I am in love with. I had some friends come and stay with me throughout the month of May and I loved pulling these out while we were drinking wine on my couch. Such an easy way to get to know new people, or even asking your lifelong friends some questions you’ve maybe never thought of.
That’s all for the month of May! Thank you all so much for being here and for reading, as always leave a comment or dm me on instagram if you had any stand out favorites from May that I need to know about. See you in June!
