July Five and Five: 10 Favorites from Fashion, Beauty & Home
The Monthly Five And Five
July’s Most Loved
July absolutely flew by! Between sharing my nighttime skincare routine, wrapping up the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, refreshing spaces around the house (Camille’s Nursery + Office / Guest room refresh), and squeezing in lots of family time, it’s been such a fun month. As always, I’m wrapping things up with my monthly Five & Five: five products you all loved most this month, plus five favorites I’ve been reaching for on repeat. Whether you missed something the first time around or you’re looking for a few new finds, here are the ten picks that earned a spot on July’s list.

The Five You LOVED Most
(your most-clicked, most-saved, most-DM’d-about favorites)
This contour brush has become one of my favorite little beauty upgrades lately. I like to think of it as a gua sha, but in brush form. I use it before my skincare for a quick lymphatic drainage massage, and it helps wake up my face and reduce puffiness in just a minute or two.
I recently shared my full skincare routine, and this was one of the products so many of you asked about!
No surprise seeing this one here! My skin absolutely drinks up this moisturizer, and it’s become a staple in my routine. It’s rich and deeply hydrating without feeling greasy, and it leaves my skin looking healthy, plump, and glowy. If you’ve been dealing with dry or dehydrated skin, this is one of the products I recommend over and over again.

This is one of those dresses that makes getting dressed ridiculously easy. It’s comfortable, flattering, and makes it look like you put in way more effort than you actually did. I’ve been reaching for it nonstop this summer, and it works just as well with sneakers as it does with sandals. I’m wearing the XXL.

You all know I can’t resist a good matching set, and this one has easily become one of my most-worn outfits lately. It’s unbelievably soft, looks polished, but honestly feels like pajamas. I loved it so much I bought it in multiple colors… and judging by my DMs, a lot of you did too.

After years of wrestling with a duvet cover, I was officially over it. I swapped it for this comforter set, and I honestly wish I’d done it sooner. It’s soft, fluffy, breathable, and makes the bed look put together without all the extra hassle. It gives our bedroom that cozy, hotel-bed feel I was after.
We’ve also recently added this sheet set and they feel incredibly luxurious without the luxury price tag.
And of course, we can’t forget our favorite pillows and mattress pad to really complete the bed!
THE FIVE I’m Loving
(aka: what’s getting worn, used, and reached for on repeat)
I genuinely didn’t think I’d be switching dry shampoos anytime soon… and then I tried this one. It actually makes my hair feel clean instead of just covering up greasy roots, adds great volume, and doesn’t leave behind that heavy, gritty feeling. Safe to say it’s earned a permanent spot in my routine.

If you spend a lot of time on your feet, these are worth every penny. They’ve become my go-to sandals this summer because they have amazing arch support without looking like orthopedic shoes. They’re comfortable enough to wear all day and cute enough to go with just about everything.

These have quickly become one of my favorite summer pieces. They’re lightweight, flowy, and make it look like you tried way harder than you actually did. I love pairing them with a simple tank or tee and calling it a day. They’re the kind of pants you’ll keep reaching for because they’re just that easy to wear.

This was one of those Target finds that immediately went into heavy rotation. It has that designer-inspired look without the designer price tag, and it’s the kind of dress you can throw on when you have five minutes to get out the door but still want to look put together. Comfortable, flattering, and just $35. I’m wearing the XXL.

f you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve probably seen these earrings in just about every outfit. I have the 10mm cubic zirconia, and I literally sleep in them because they’re that comfortable. They go with everything, add just the right amount of sparkle, and make even a basic outfit feel a little more polished.
