Currently Craving: Late Summer Favorites Under $50 (+ Ultimate Labor Day Sales List!)


There's so many sales going on - I just wish it wasn't because it's the end of the summer! Labor Day Weekend is here and I'm so not ready for it... I need more summer! Has anyone ever "chased summer"? I have a friend who lives basically everywhere... He travels constantly so that he's always enjoying the summer season! In the winter here, he lives in Australia. Kinda cool, no? Thinking I should try it... ;) Anyway, there are lots of great sales going on so to take a break from all of the new arrivals that are taking over stores and our shopping list, I rounded up my favorite summer favorites that are all under $50! Most are regularly inexpensive, and now every single find is on sale and well under $50. Now's the time to get some last minute summer favorites that you can still enjoy for a few more weeks, and get excited about for next season!

These denim shorts are what I LIVE in in the summer. I have yet to find other denim shorts that fit me better so I buy these in every wash! They're a perfect length and have a stretchy, comfortable fit. Another thing I've been living in this summer are these cute and colorful fringe sandals! I did NOT expect these to be all that comfortable, or enough so that I could wear them as much as I do anyway, but they're one of my more comfortable pairs of sandals. They're so summery and so dang cute! You'll get so much use out of these next year so get yourself a pair now - they'll be one of those things you forget about and get so excited about when you pull them out next spring! ;)

I don't normally think of makeup as seasonal, but the colors in this palette are so bright and vibrant! With the Sephora Beauty Insider Appreciation Event going on right now (shop all of my top picks that will no doubt become your favorite re-purchases here!), you can get this palette for such a great deal! It's so beautiful, almost as beautiful as this druzy bracelet! Love it and love that you could wear it year round!

When the Sugarfix/BaubleBar team sent over these stunning hoop earrings I fell in L O V E. I always mention how sensitive my ears are and how I can't wear heavy weighted earrings so I'm always hunting for the prettiest lightweight pairs I can find. These are simply stunning and only $12.99!
