The week is flying by so quickly I can hardly believe it. Summer dress and sandal season is here – we’ve been having a full week of clouds with tiny bits of sun here and there in Southern California. I’m anxious for the sun to come out! I have a roundup of some new things on my radar, but first I wanted to share that I’m having a mini blog sale on some purses and shoes. It is for US only and you can see all the items listed on this blog sale page here. Instructions and details are on the page for pricing, shipping information, etc. I thought I’d give my US readers a chance to shop first before I send the items away to be consigned.
Some quick highlights on a few of the items shown above: first up on my radar are summer dresses. I bought this Tank Dress from Madewell a few weeks ago in the darker color and love it. When I find a style I like I’m always tempted to buy it in multiple colors. This Striped Vacances (1) dress just popped up online which looks right up my alley and possibly this Topshop version as well.
My husband liked the Tory Burch Miller Sandals on me so much he said “you should buy more colors.” I don’t think I’ve ever heard him say that before so of course I ran to Nordstrom and bought the Makeup pair (13) which is a blush nude and these Steve Madden Gladiator Sandals (2) also caught my eye. I could not resist so I picked up the black ones.
The Estée Edit team sent over some of their summer collection and the Cocobalms (3) come in the most unique balm packaging I think I’ve seen. They are in a circular packaging and the center is squishy to dispense product. There are five options – I have yet to test them but it’s on my to do list.
For summer NARS has two online/boutique exclusive palettes. The Long Hot Summer Eyeshadow Palette (10) has four shades exclusive to the palette along with Bellisima II and Bengali. For the cheeks there is a new 413 BLKR Cheek and Lip Palette (4).
There are a couple new items from Tatcha. The Skincare Travel Set (5) could not be more perfect. It has the best of Tatcha in travel sizes and comes in a gorgeous white case. I just ordered several travel sized items for my upcoming trip and wish I had bought this one instead. Also new from Tatcha is the Indigo Smoothing Black Sugar Gommage (12) which is limited-edition for summer. I was very lucky to get an early preview of this and it’s every bit as amazing as it sounds.
What’s on your radar right now?
June Blog Sale items listed on this page here.
I haven't given NARS eyeshadows a try yet but sorely tempted by this palette. Did pick up one of their cheek duos and in excited to give that a try!
Hi Cindy – I love NARS shadows, palettes can be hit or miss for some, but have been mostly hits for me. I have it on my list to check out the next time I'm at the store!
I thought your Miller flip-flops were darling when I saw them featured in your Tuesday post and Wednesday I went to Nordstrom and bought them in—Makeup! And now, here they are in one of your posts 🙂 Usually I avoid logo anything like the plague, but Tory's logo looks more like part of the overall design. Sometimes her logo looks pretty heavy handed, but it's just right with these casual sandals. The color Makeup is also just right and is one of those gorgeous go-with-anything nudes.
Like you, I think those of us who live in So Cal will be glad when the June Gloom has subsided and our weather settles into its more predictable sunny summer pattern. I'm read for bright pops of color paired with warm, softly burnished neutrals.
Hi Eileen – I'm SO EXCITED about your Makeup sandals! It's such a pretty nude pink. I usually avoid logos on the feet too but I think the ones from Tory Burch are tasteful and so chic.
