It's been a long time (long time). I shouldn't have left you (left you). Without a monthly favorites post to step to (step to). Sorry about that, I couldn't help myself. But it truly has been a while -- like a year -- since my last favorites post so without further ado, here are a few of the things that have been most loved in July. Grab a cup of coffee because this is a long one!


Beauty | This is one case where you definitely should believe the hype. I won't go on to gush too much about this product since it's already been well circulated throughout the beauty world, but this mascara does a fabulous job of lengthening and separating my lashes which is just how I like them. The only note I have against the product is that it takes an awfully long time to set, which can frustrating if you need to touch something up around your eye area. Other than that, it's an incredible mascara and I've heard nothing but praises for its recently expanded collection.


Fashion | Admittedly, I haven't had these for very long. In fact they were added to my closet around the end of July. However, I've been pining over these mules for months now. They're super chic, on trend and incredibly comfortable. If you can find them in stores (I believe they're sold out online) I would definitely advise you to give this trend a try.

Accessories | Again, these made their way into my home closer to the end of July, but they quickly stole a top spot in my heart. I was looking to branch out from my typically minimalistic taste in costume jewelry and buy a statement necklace. I think these chokers were a great way to ease me in. They're still understated but really unique. The color pattern is actually wrapped thread! While they can be worn separately, I tend to stray from separating the pair. Even though I like that I have the option, they look better together.

Techie | If you have an iPhone and have bothered to update it in the past month, then you should already know the true joy that is Apple Music. Another music subscription service, Apple Music has somehow found a way to combine the features of both Spotify and Pandora. What other music services seem to miss, Apple Music has perfected. It curates different radio stations and playlists that it thinks you'll like based on your music preferences and you have the ability to add new music you discover right to your own collection. If you haven't already, start your free three-month trial on your computer or phone today! If you're a music lover like me, you won't regret it.


Song | If I'm being honest, I couldn't tell what the song White Iverson by Post Malone is about. I just like the vibe it evokes and the way it makes me feel: completely chilled out. I've needed that kind of energy around me after the hectic month I've had, so this song came at the right time.

Munchies | Blue Diamond almonds are so good it's ridiculous. I typically just stick to the lightly salted ones but I was recently sent the bold sriracha flavor in the Sunshine VoxBox and wow. Life changing. If you're craving something salty and crunchy but don't want to completely screw up your diet, give these a try.


Person | New category alert! I'm on the fence about bringing back Best, Finds, where I share links to new online content creators that I've been loving every week. Instead, I think I'll feature a new blogger or YouTuber every month. My first favorite person is stylist and YouTuber Nina Vee who I found through another personal fave, Chloe Morello. She's gorgeous, chic and so down to earth. Check out her channel for awesome everyday makeup looks and outfit inspiration. I know you'll love her just as much as I do.
