Charleston Lifestyle

Friday Faves: Volume XX

Happy, happy Friday! Officially back in Charleston and it seems like I’ve brought the low humidity I had on Lake Erie! I basically landed late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning and have not taken a moment to breathe yet, that’ll happen . . . some time soon?!
Anyway, this week I found a few fun things and am reading some GREAT books. I’ve got so many fun plans this weekend and it’s leaning more social than work, which is FUN!

What I’m Buying and Loving:
-I got the CUTEST summer flats this week. They’re adorable and I can’t wait to wear them later today! A really great price point and can be dressed up or down!
-Dior has new colors in their lip oils (I got the lilac) and while I love love love the Clarins lip oils, this new color has been a repeat for social events this week!
-Rare Beauty is a brand I’m always impressed by and I purchased a liquid blush at the end of last week. I was curious if the color was going to truly be universally flattering (“Joy” which is a muted peachy orange) and I can confirm that it’s as good on as it looks. Definitely worth a try!
-I love a decorative towel and Anthropologie never disappoints in that category. This one is the happiest non-holiday towel I’ve seen in ages!

PSA: my favorite heels I bought for Europe are on sale and they are SO comfortable. I walked miles in these. If you are looking for a neutral summer heel, buy these!!

What’s on My List:
Not a TON of online browsing this week, but I’m mostly looking at shoes and sunglasses. Do I ‘need’ either?!
-Do I NEED a summer cardigan? Is this too kitschy? It’s been in my cart for ages and I just take it out when I purchase something, then move it back.
-This white top. Again, how many white tops does one person need? It’s so cute, but I don’t know what I would actually wear it with or to? It’s a lust.
-I think these gold heels would actually be a good staple piece in my closet. I do think I need a mini shoe refresh!!
-Another gold heel, just a WAY better price point. Thoughts?!
-These black sunnies are a bit of a splurge, but I feel like cost per wear is great on sunnies!
-A true MAJOR splurge, but these feel chic and timeless.

My book list this week:
It’s been a GREAT reading week!
The Return of Ellie Black: I GASPED at one point. This was a great slow burn.
Such a Bad Influence: This has been really enjoyable. I haven’t been able to sit down and read this one a ton, but I’m loving it so far.
The Darlings: This started S L O W but was a great beach read style book. The ending wrapped it up almost 100%.
Listen for the Lie: OH WOW. I’m listening to this and have an hour left while I type this and it’s so good.
Middle of the Night: Riley Sager does it again. I’m two thirds through this and I can’t stop.

Immediate TBR: Youthjuice. No spoilers, just check out what this is about and tell me you’re not intrigued.

Have the best weekend!
