Happy July!

I hope your month is off to a good start! I love July. For me July is the month that represents TRUE summer. June starts off a little hectic with the school year ending and then it’s always such a cold and cloudy month in San Diego! By July our sun is back and we are starting to really enjoy family and friend time with both vacations and lazy days at the beach or pool. August brings all things back to school with it so July is the month I try to really cherish and enjoy. It always goes by too quickly!

I have so many fun favorites and sales to share today! First up these beautiful ruffled bowls came in that I mentioned I ordered in this post. Perfect for adding design and texture to anything you are styling! I’m still patiently waiting for this version to come and I’ll share the difference in white bowls when it gets here. This rattan bowl is another recent favorite. So pretty and perfect to hold fruit in the kitchen! I also adore this black trinket dish.

It will not only add style to your coffee table, console table or shelf, but it’s also a perfect size to hide random objects like the remote control! I love the textured handle too.

This cute blue top is another favorite that has been on repeat lately!

I have it in cream and last summer it was hands down my most worn top so when I saw that this year they came out with it in blue and black I had to get the blue. I get so many compliments every time I wear this top in either color! I would have bought it in black too except I’m organizing my closet at the moment and trying to take clothes OUT vs. add more in.

This is why I struggle with closet organization. I love clothes too much!

Date night with my babe – picture taken by our 13 year old son. Door is a little crooked but I was just impressed we were still in the frame so I’ll take it. Ha. We were not trying to match the porch and look patriotic, but it happened so I’ll take that too. ;)

*sidenote on the top.. true to size but I’m wearing my size in petite. I like it better because the length of the top and the sleeves are a little shorter. If you want a longer fit go with standard or tall. 

{travel bottles}

I’m excited about these cute travel bottles I recently ordered! The set I’ve been using leaked on me last time (hate that when something spills all over in your make-up bag!) so I’m trying this set. They are supposed to be leak free! Plus I love the size and color.

Perfect addition for this beloved travel bag!

Amazon is killing it in home decor aren’t they!? You can find so many beautiful items and have them at your house the next day. It’s down right dangerous isn’t it!?

I know my husband thinks so. Ha. I have several items in the collage above and want everything else!

I have loved this bag this summer and it’s on sale with so many other fun items from Madewell! It’s their big summer sale and many items are 30-60% off. Here are a few favorites. I’m really wanting one of the pairs of sneakers!

1- floor lamp   2- metal sconce

3- striped throw blanket   4-wall baskets   5- tray

Beautiful new arrivals at Pottery Barn and some are marked down!

Because most of July is spent in the pool with friends over I always order several pool floats and games for the kids. A few arrived last week and started taking over my house before they were even blown up. Ha.

Am I the only one with a large inflatable duck and watermelon raft on their kitchen floor?

These were the two Kole picked out in case you were wondering. :)

This full face snorkel mask is a long time favorite that Kole still loves in the pool. I don’t know that I would recommend this for real snorkeling, but for a pool toy the kids love it!

We had to order two because friends always want to wear one too!

This ball catch set has also been a hit with the boys. Easy to use in or out of the pool! Below are all of our Amazon pool/yard favorites if you need something fun for the kids! The only item below that we haven’t tried yet is the pool wheel. We ordered that one and will report back. :)

Wrapping up this weekend post with some cute new belt bags from Lulu! Love the new colors for summer. Bright and happy just like Kole’s large inflatable duck.

We’ll take it.
