Good sh*t | June-July 2024
Oops I never sent this because this summer has been insane

Juliette Pearl Drop Necklace: I splurged on this beaut recently and I keep trying to invent more reasons to wear it— I think over a white t-shirt and jeans or with a chunky crewneck sweater would be so fun!
Land’s End 400 Thread Count Premium Supima Cotton No Iron Sateen Bed Sheet Set: I read in The Strategist that Nancy Meyer’s exclusively uses these sheets in her Hamptons home and holy sh*t I GET IT. THEY’RE SO GOOD. They’re always on huge sale (think they’re 50% off right now) and feel just as good if not better than my Brooklinen set. I do the European no top sheet thing, so I appreciate being able to buy pieces à la carte also so as not to waste money/space with a fancy top sheet I’ll never use. If I didn’t have a pittie with black fur who cries until he’s lifted onto the bed, I’d get the white duvet cover too!
Understatement Period Underwear: I didn’t know I needed beautiful period underwear til I discovered these. Knowing you have cute undies on underneath it all is an instant way to feel more confident and when do you need to feel more confident than during the most miserable time of the month?
Provenance Meals: Often meal delivery kits make me uneasy with the diety marketing of it all, but my schedule has been nutso this spring and these have been saving me to help me make sure I don’t skip lunch out of busy-ness. They’re a fraction of the price of some other well branded meal delivery kits that rhyme with “schmakara” but still delicioso.
Summer Fridays Lip Oil in Soft Mauve: I’ve been layering this over this Sacheu Beauty Lip LinerStay-n in Muah-ve (on the days I actually wear makeup) and it’s the perfect amount of color without feeling too makeup-y.
J.Crew Balconette One Piece Swimsuit: This is so flattering and perfect for more athletic beach days/hikes where you still want to look cute but don’t want to be too exposed so you can actually move. I also plan on wearing it as a bustier top off the beach too!
Reformer Loops Latex Resistance Bands: Reformer Loops are my fav because it’s a small female founded biz and not only do they make inoffensive colors, they’re strong enough to withstand knotting and unknotting (unlike other PT favored brands) I’d start with the mint/light if you’ve never used bands before and work your way up to tan/medium. Pair 'em with the Travel Friendly collection on HPS! Code: HPS15 gives you 15% off everything (except bundles) at Reformer Loops!
S’envoler One Day Shorts: I discovered this brand thanks to and I was mesmerized by this process video on how they hand make all their products they posted on their IG. These would be so cute with a black bodysuit (although, PSA, if you’re going to a pilates class, ALWAYS wear bike shorts underneath a baggy short situation (tell your boyfriends too plz 😬)…trust me you’ll thank me).
