This is a collection of things I’m loving right now. I’ve gathered seasonally inspired recipes and a handful of my favorite finds. Pour a cup of your preferred drink and scroll through what I’ve enjoyed this week.
New Home Favorites
Stores are already showing so many cute pieces for fall. Even though it’s July, I’m ready to shift away from patio furniture and summer clothes and start browsing new arrivals for cooler weather. Shopping early helps avoid items selling out, and there are plenty of pieces I think will disappear fast.
Recipe Ideas For The Week
Homemade Lemon Lime Sports Drink — a refreshing, easy make-at-home beverage perfect for hot days and after workouts.
Gluten Free Hummingbird Bundt Cake — a moist, flavorful cake made with tropical fruit and warm spices, ideal for sharing.
Gluten Free Kale Caesar Salad — a crisp, satisfying salad with a tangy dressing and hearty greens, great as a side or light meal.
Stuff I Love
What I’m Watching — I recently started rewatching Dawson’s Creek on Netflix. I missed it when it originally aired and I’m enjoying revisiting the characters and early 2000s nostalgia.
What I’m Reading — I just finished The Missing Treasures of Amy Ashton by Eleanor Ray. It was a page-turner and pleasantly surprised me with its ending.
What I’m Loving — To keep my wavy hair from building up, I rotate shampoos and conditioners. Lately I’ve been using a hemp and apple cider vinegar balancing shampoo and conditioner and have been impressed with how smooth and soft my hair feels.
What I Want To Get — I’m eyeing a pair of black, chunky sandals in a Doc Martens-like style. I used to wear similar shoes with dresses and tights; they bring back a lot of ’90s nostalgia for me.
Clothing Items to Go from Summer to Fall
Transition pieces that work now and into cooler months are lifesavers. Think lightweight sweaters, oversized bags, platform sandals or canvas sneakers, and versatile jackets that layer easily. Neutral colors with a few statement pieces will carry you from warm evenings into crisp mornings.
Favorite From Around the Web
I ordered a set of inexpensive glass bottles to store homemade drinks in the fridge and have been really happy with them — they keep beverages fresh and look nice on the shelf.
On the topic of glass, I prefer glass water bottles for taste; they don’t impart a metallic flavor like some stainless bottles can. I keep one handy for daily refills.
For fall I love an oversized faux leather hunter green tote. It looks elevated, holds a lot, and the color reads as a rich neutral with many outfits.
I wear blue light blocking glasses while working on the computer to reduce eye fatigue. A green-tinted pair has been my recent favorite for both comfort and style.
Fun canvas sneakers with floral prints are a playful pick to pair with jeans — an easy way to add personality to an outfit.
For makeup, a compact that combines highlighter and blush is a great multitasker: a pop of color on the cheeks and a little shimmer on the cheekbones and nose center adds dimension without fuss.
Brushed gold flatware gives table settings a chic, elevated look without breaking the bank — it feels special for dinners and seasonal gatherings.
Faux leather chargers are a simple way to upgrade holiday tables; they’re durable, stylish, and perfect for Thanksgiving or autumn dinner gatherings.
I also like the new Gap Collection at Walmart for mix-and-match basics and accent pieces like pretty throw pillows that freshen up a room without a big investment.
Finally, simple kitchen jars — a clean cookie jar or a coffee jar with a wooden spoon — can make everyday countertop items feel thoughtfully styled and inviting.
