Currently Craving: July Favorites


Can summer slow down for a second?! Seriously, I'm enjoying this weather and the sunshine too much to worry about it going so fast! This month's Currently Craving is a bit shorter because with all of the NSALE craziness I hadn't shopped too much elsewhere. But there are some really great finds - for your home, the cutest jeans, a couple of dupes... You get the point! Here's my favorites from July:

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12

1. Nike Running Sneakers: these might just be the most beautiful colored sneaker I have ever, ever owned! They're a part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and also come in navy and a dark green - they're $74 and beyond comfortable! I got my normal size and they fit perfectly - I've already worn them a ton both to run in and just for every day and they're the best!

2. Mini Bluetooth Speaker: I just ordered this mini Bluetooth speaker and can't wait to get it in! It's great for using by the pool, at the beach or keeping it at your bathroom vanity.

3. Chanel Surfboard Canvas: cutest wall hanging ever! I've been looking for something like this for so long and I finally found it!

4. Balmain Sunglasses: these are UNDER $100 right now! Normally almost $400 and they are too beautiful to pass up!

5. Jergens Moisturizing Self Tanner: out of the many self tanners I've tried in the past, this is the winner. It figures that it's a drugstore buy that's the best one! I love this stuff because you apply it in the shower and it's literally impossible to become streaky or look uneven. That's always my biggest worry with self tanners. I think this is best for maintaining your tan the longest - it's also great for evening out a real tan... I had major tan lines going on on my legs from being in the sun and this helped even it all out, lol!!

6. Kate Spade Crossbody: I included this in this month's Currently Craving because it's one of my favorite bags EVER. I got mine (it's super similar to this one - mine is a little more white) in June of 2016 and I use is non freakin' stop. I've brought it on multiple trips with me and use it for every-day more than any other bag I own! I love the shape and size and it's the cutest! It's on sale right now so you can bet I'm getting it in another color!

7. Girlfriend Jeans: I fell in love with these in the store a few weeks ago - best fit, so comfy and the prettiest denim wash EVER.

8. 8Striped Bikini Top: you may have seen this on my Instagram last week - I brought it on a quick trip with me and wore it SO MUCH. It's on sale for $12 (reg $15!) and has quickly become my most worn bikini top all summer! ;) You can mix and match it with so many colors and the bow-tie back is my favorite detail.

9. Palm Print Wall Paper: I've been itching to make a decor change and do something fun and new and I can't believe I'm saying this... But I think that includes wall paper. All of the prints and styles in wall paper's latest comeback are just too cute to pass up! I am in LOVE with this blue palm print pattern - wouldn't it be so pretty as an accent wall?! Decisions, decisions...

10. Gold Palm Hoop Earrings: pretty, dainty, gold lightweight hoops for summer - checks all the musts off! Get these ASAP!

11. Clinique Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly: if you've been around for a while, you know my LOVE for the Clinique Dramatically Different line. I swear by these skincare products! This hydrating jelly is fairly new and I'm so excited to try it out - it's a moisturizing jelly that's supposedly more lightweight than moisturizer, but does the same thing. I love that cooling feeling when you put moisturizer on so I'm so excited to try this.

12. Greece Slide Sandal Dupe: everyone's beloved Greece slide sandal in dupe-fashion. ;) Instead of being $70, these are $19 and look nearly identical! They also come in white and black.

XOXO -A

  33. I LOVE your picks! Especially those sunglasses... what a steal! I have a pair of sandals similar to pick number 12, but they're black. I may have to swing by Target and pick up the cognac version.

  35. Aw, this was a really nice post. In idea I would like to put in writing like this additionally – taking time and actual effort to make a very good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and by no means seem to get something done.
