july 2014 faves

it's august! 

summer is coming to a close and "fall" is in our sights. here in texas we'll be feeling the summer heat for quite a while still. 

i'd like to share some of the items that i've just about worn out this past month.

my faves: 

i wanted to include a little bit of everything: home, edible items, apparel, beauty. 

whenever i can't figure out what to wear i automatically reach for this pair of bullhead shorts. i love the laid-back destroyed look and splattered paint details. i purchased these at the goodwill outlet for approximately sixty cents. score! 

i've also been wearing my dainty kendra scott necklaces almost every day. they're so feminine and never take away from a cute outfit, just enhance it. 

i received my first pair of haviannas as a gift this month. so comfortable. so durable. i don't know how i've lasted this long without a pair. i used to be against rubber flip flops but lately i've discovered there are so many cute options on the market.  

for my home item i chose my adorable espresso set (a wedding gift). i have two sets that each came with a cup, a spoon and a plate. this set acts as a pretty backdrop for ordinary snacks. 

speaking of snacks, my favorites recently have been crystal light drink mix in peach mango green tea and miss meringue tahitian vanilla petite meringue cookies. i use the green tea as a pick-me-up if i don't feel like drinking coffee. the cookies are the perfect amount of sweet to satisfy my raging sweet tooth without any fat or chemicals. 

for beauty i chose my tom ford perfume in black orchid and my hard candy glamoflauge concealer. i rarely use my tom ford fragrance because it's a very robust scent and a little heavy for summer but recently i've been loving it for date night where the scent feels a little more appropriate. i really hate how foundation makes my skin feel. with this glamoflauge concealer a little goes a long way so i just use a few dots of this as the base for my make-up. does the job and deletes a whole step from my makeup routine.
