A Touch of Southern Grace

I am so loving all the transitional prints and colorways that are popping up across different websites and stores. The cosmos floral stripe is just everything!

Two// Martha Stewart Re-Releasing Her First Book

I know there is a new Instagram trend going around where the caption is “dress like Ralph Lauren, cook like Ina, and host like Martha”. Let’s face facts, when Martha Stwart is in any equation, she can do all the above. I am such a fan hers. It is just awe inspiring to see how she bought her vision to life and is always constantly reinventing herself and keeping up with the times. I am so excited for the re-release of her very first book, now available for pre-order on Amazon! 

Three// 26 Beach Reads

If you are in search of a book to read than this article is for you. I have been trying to be better about reading more this summer, and this list is such a win!

Four// Sarah Flint Stella in Floral Silk

I am completely obsessed with this new print from Sarah Flint. The gold and brown floral tons are just so perfect to transition for the end of summer to fall. These are seriously a showstopper and so comfortable! Use code: SARAHFLINT-LAUREN-15 for 15% off your first Sarah Flint order!

Five// Claire Saffitiz Perfect Bagel

I have been such a fan of Claire Saffitiz since her early days on the BA test kitchen. As weird as it sounds, I really love watching cooking videos at night… there is just something so relaxing about them. Really loved this particular one!

Tuckernuck is seriously bringing their A game this summer. I love everything about this skirt and it would be so perfect paired with a sweater when the weather starts to cool down

Two// Sage Seersucker Gingham Royal Shirt Dress

I have this dress in two other colors, and the style is so timeless. It does run slightly large, so if you are between sizes I would definitely recommend sizing down

Three// Green Stone Washed Cotton Anne Crewneck Sweater

I feel like this sweater just scream East Coast Summer… seriously why do Southern summers have to be so hot… weather aside, I love everything about this sweater

Four// The Tessa One Piece

Hill House is another company that is totally winning the summer collection game! I have a suit of theirs from a few summers ago, and it is so flattering! The one I have does run a little on the small side, so if you are on the fence, I would go up one size

Five// Cooper Cardigan

Jenni Kayne sweaters are such an investment piece that you will have for years to come. Honestly, hands down, their sweaters are my favorite

Five// Pretty Delicious Cookbook

I love to cook; it such a great way for me to just zone out and this cookbook really does look pretty delicious…

Six// Classic Bamboo Side Plate

Who wouldn’t love this plate – practical and beautiful!

Seven// Ribbon Bow Bag

It has a bow…need I say more?

Eight// Sarah Flint Block Heel

I actually have this Heel in multiple colors… it is so comfortable and just such a great classic shoe to have on hand. Use code SARAHFLINT-LAUREN-15 for 15% off

Nine// Krewe Sunglasses

Krewe has become one of my favorite sunglass companies over the years. I love their take on classic styles and their glasses are just timeless

Ten// Seaport Pencil Tray

I honestly wish I could hop into this tray and sail away…

Eleven// Luica Short

I really appreciate how J. Crew is leaning towards designs that mimic some of their things from decades ago. These shorts are such a win

Twelve// La Roche – Posay Double Repair Face Moisturizer with SPF30

I am all about any face cream with SPF and this is honestly just such a great brand!

Thriteen// Loffler Randall Sandal

Theses sandals are just timeless and would be so easy to dress up or down

One// The 100 Best Movies of the 21^st Century

I feel like it is always so hard to think of a good movie to watch… the New York Times recently put together a list of the top 100 movies of the 21^st century… and there are some really great ones listed and some I probably will never watch (to be honest)… but if you are in search of a movie, you should check this list out!

Two// Baddie Betty

This is one of my new favorite Instagram accounts. Baddie Betty is endlessly entertaining and actually gives pretty good advice (for the most part) in a very comical way

Three// 12 Books to Help You Love Reading Again

So far this year, most of the books I have read are books that I have listened to on audible. This article was stood out to me because I feel like I really need to get back in the habit of reading physical books…

Four// Hill House Fourth of July Sale

Is there anything better than a Hill House Sale?! Their summer collections have just been so perfect, and I absolutely love the new silhouettes and prints they have come out with.

I have hear so many wonderful things about Emily Henry books, and I am so glad that I finally read one. I love the twist and turn of this book, and of course the inevitable love story. A beautifully written story.

Two// Remarkably Bright Creatures, by Shelby

I have always loved the cover of this book, and it has been on my list of books to read for the past few summers, but I have put off reading it because of the reviews I have heard in my personal circle (very mixed). I have to say, I absolutely loved this book! Just the creative and the storyline is so beautiful. Highly recommend 

Three// All That Life Can Afford, by Emily Everett

This is the type of book that will keep you turning pages and one that you will not want to see end. The journey the main character, Anna, goes on has so many ups and downs. Whether in middle school or sometime during adulthood, I think it is safe to say that we have all been in a position when we have tried to become something we think we should in order to fit into a certain group of people or a certain situation. Anna take this to an entirely different level, but still in a completely relatable way that will keep you turning the pages.
