June Recommends

Jun 29

We’ve gathered our curated collection of beauty products, clothing and books from the last month in one spot - making it easy to shop. Unlike so many products you see on social media, no one paid us to share these - each item has been tested out and genuinely loved by someone in our office. These are the things we can’t live without and since we consider you all friends, we don’t think you should either.

BEAUTY

Ilia - Balmy Tint Lip Balm

I love this Ilia lip balm and have it in several colors - lullaby is my favorite. It provides the perfect amount of color without feeling too lipsticky!

Laura Mercier - Ambre Vanillé

I love this fragrance for summer because it has a soft vanilla scent without being too heavy and it lasts all day. The hand creme is amazing as well!

Tower 28 Beauty - Lip & Cheek Cream

This brand has recently become one of my favorites. They use clean ingredients and their products are good for all skin types. I love this lip and cheek cream because it's versatile and creates the perfect summer glow.

Hourglass - Lengthening Mascara

I fell in love with this mascara for a few reasons. It's a tubing mascara and comes off so easily (no more scrubbing my eyes at night), it doesn't transfer or smudge at all, and it makes my eyelashes look super long.

WEAR

Janessa Leone - Felix Hat

I'm in love with this sun hat. I have it in the chestnut color but all of the options are so cute. It's going to be the perfect pool hat for the summer. I have a coupon code if anyone wants to save 20% - it's ANNIE20.

Sobriquet - Baseball Cap

Sobriquet is a local woman-owned company that I love! If you’ve seen me in the last few months there is a good chance I was wearing this hat from them. I could not ask for a more comfortable hat that goes with everything.

H&M - Silk Blend Tank Top

I feel like there are so many different ribbed tanks out there on the market but the color of this one makes it feel a little more special. It’s also super soft and is the perfect thickness.

Aallyn - Jordan Bucket Bag

I bought this little cross body for the summer, and love it. It's super functional and small enough that it's easy to carry but still big enough that my laptop slides in.

Lunya - Silk Button Down Set

I love this silk set. It’s breathable, super comfortable and an easy outfit to throw on in the summer. I have it in both the navy and black because I love it that much.

Buck Mason - Baja Twill Field Chino

I recently purchased these chinos and love that they are fitted in the waist but still have a slouchy, comfy vibe. They come in two colors and I love them both!

READ & WATCH

Billy Cotton - Coffee Table Book

I have fallen in love with Billy Cotton’s designs. His book finally came out and I cannot recommend it enough, so beautiful!
REC: SARA RONNA / JUNIOR DESIGNER

Matt Haig - The Midnight Library

This book was highly recommended to me and it did not disappoint. It has great characters, a great setting, and a great story. It is both fun to read and has a meaningful message.

Ronan Farrow- Catch And Kill

I recently finished this book and I could not praise it enough. They recently made it into an HBO Docu-series that I highly recommend. Ronan Farrow does an amazing job telling the stories of vulnerable women.

OTHER

Madewell - Leather Card Case

This is my favorite wallet - it is so easy and streamlined! It holds just the right amount, and I can easily carry it in a pocket or throw it in my purse.
REC: HEATHER DAWSON / ORDERING & SHIPPING

Favoreats - Meal Planning App

This app is the biggest time saver! It has simplified my meal planning and made grocery shopping so much quicker. I can easily plan my weekly menus, find or upload recipes, AND place my grocery order all at one time.
REC: HEATHER DAWSON / ORDERING & SHIPPING

ZTUJO - Bag Organizer

I was having a hard time finding anything in my purse, and this organizer has made all of the difference! There are different pockets for everything - I can easily find anything I'm looking for. It comes in different sizes and colors. (I bought a medium for my MZ Wallace Medium Sutton, which I also love!)

Sweet Nothings - Smoothie Pops

Just stocked our freezer with these frozen fruit & veggie smoothie pops from Whole Foods. We love them, our kid loves them, and we feel great that they're made with organic natural foods and have zero added sugar!
