August Favorites

Can’t believe it’s September, guys. I mean Happy Fall.. Happy Halloween.. we might as well wish you Happy New Year at this point. Cheers to 2020! Ok, getting a tad dramatic but whew, summer is over and we are gearing up for the best time of the year in our opinion. But as we say goodbye to summer, let’s recap this past month’s favorites.

Alix

Lululemon No-Show Dry Shampoo Heather and I were lucky enough to get this in our swag bags at SeaWheeze. I’ve been wanting to try it since Lulu came out with their self care line. I’ve used it a handful of times now and really like it. The smell is surprisingly good (I wasn’t expecting to like the smell as much as I do) and it works! No white powder residue showing and it really soaks up excess oil. I’ve used it after a super sweaty Orange Theory class and it gave my hair life for another day. It’s a great price point for what you’re getting, so if you’re on the fence about trying it I say go for it!

Bike Shorts Never say never I guess. I swore I could never pull off this trend (but thought they looked so cute on everyone else) and finally took the plunge and ordered a pair. I now have these biker shorts in 2 colors and plan to continue to add to my collection. I linked some faves on my wishlist. I like to wear them with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, and I actually wore them to a Soul Cycle class last week and they were perfect! I get hot in long leggnings and shorter biker shorts ride up. These were perfect. They are high rise and stay in place! I would say this brand sizes TTS and very similarly to Zella.

Lululemon On The Fly Crop I’ve seen these at Lulu, but for some reason just never looked twice at them. I have a girlfriend that lives in them and owns them in all the different styles (crops, pants, joggers) and colors. She convinced me to try them and I’m not lying when I say they are as comfortable as the aligns if not more comfortable! To be honest online they don’t look that cute and aren’t styled well, but try them on and you will understand why they are a new fave! These aren’t “workout” pants you’d want to get sweaty in, but more for running errands, travel, and lounging. I’m going to even try and pull them off at work (I think you can totally dress them up a bit!). I sized up from my normal legging size for a little extra room. I plan to continue to expand my On The Fly game and get the joggers or pants next…”true navy” and “dark olive” are calling my name for fall!

Gorjana Jewelry I can’t stop buying Gorjana jewelry right now. Their jewelry is great quality for the price point. They also have amazing customer service. I’ve had 2 items tarnish and one they re-plated and the other they just sent me a new one. I wear this or this necklace daily and just ordered this bracelet, this bracelet, these earrings, and this necklace and gifted this necklace to my friend for her birthday. Obsessed!

Heather

Opal Ice Machine I got this ice machine because our freezer broke and it no longer produces ice and instead of calling the company to have someone come out and fix it (something my husband suggested time and time again), I somehow convinced him we needed this ice machine for our countertop instead. The selling point? BALL ICE. You know the kind. I find myself drinking more water (and some more Diet Coke SHATTTTTT) because the ice just MAKES it. If you have the counter space or a bar space that could use an ice machine, this is your guy.

Joggers I am having a MOMENT with joggers. I wear them in the morning, noon and night. To school drop off, to back to school night, to dinner, to bed. Very multi-purpose. I have a few favorites. Lou & Grey/Loft might have my faves from just an overall perspective. Like they’re the most cross-functional. But Aritzia carries some fancier ones I dress up. Lululemon has this pair and this pair I own and wear multiple times a week (and the ones Alix wants!).

Longline Sports Bra: I feel like women across American are just LIVING these days and wearing just a sports bra and leggings to a workout class is no longer for only stick figures with the perfect body. We can all jump on this trend! I do it by wearing a long-line sports bra and high waisted leggings so only a little bit of flesh is showing but it’s still flattering and SO comfortable during my workouts, especially yoga. This Girlfriend Collective version is amaze. And this one by Alo has such a cute back detail. Athleta has this one that I have and love too.

Corcicle My girlfriend got this for me in NEON PINK for my birthday and you can imagine the HEART EYES I had upon opening the gift. It holds an entire bottle of wine (or water if that’s your thing.. it’s not mine) so you can take it wherever you go.. to a neighbors, on your early evening walk with the dog, to a picnic.. and it keeps your bevy cold or warm depending on what you put inside. Love it, need it, take it everywhere.

Happy Fall, Ya’ll! xx, A&H
