Welcome to The Monthly Lineup for the month of May! Basically, The Monthly Lineup with be a once a month post sharing items I’ve recently purchased and have really (like, really) been loving. I’ve had this blog series idea for awhile, but am happy to finally share the first month of goodies with you all.
Please keep in my mind that if something you’ve seen me share on Instagram, or the blog, or Pinterest doesn’t make this list, doesn’t mean I don’t like it. It simply means I’m a) continuing to test it out or b) haven’t fallen head-over-heels for it.
Let’s dive in —
To shop, click the highlighted product title next to its number.
#1. Jersey Long Sleeve Dress
Dress runs true to size (TTS), and I’m wearing the “tall” length.
This has been a constant go-to for me because the neckline and length are both work appropriate. It’s a pullover style with a tie waist and elastic cuffs. The stretch jersey fabric makes it extremely soft and breathable; perfect for summer. For the cooler temps, I’d add some tights and black boots! Bonus: it’s 50% off right now, with an additional 15% off at checkout!
#2. Bath Sheets w/ Hook
Shown below are the color “gray”, but I also have them in “white.”
I’ve been on the hunt for bath towels with hooks for awhile now after we realized draping regular towels over the hooks left our towels damp. I scored these bath sheets (this simply means they’re larger than a bath towel) for $10 each, and I haven’t looked back. While the hook feature caught my attention first, the towel itself is quite plush, while not being so thick that they don’t dry. These have probably been my favorite buy of the month!
#3. Fabric Resistance Bands w/ Elastic Grip
I’ve only ever owned resistance bands made of that annoying rubber/silicone that always rides up mid exercise. These cloth ones have been great for leg day, and they stay put!
#4. Pajama Set
Runs TTS, has adjustable straps, pockets, with mesh detailing on neckline and hem of shorts.
I’ve been trying to step up my pajama game, and I love Target’s selection. I own this set in two colors, and also have 2 sets of long sleeve ones as well. The material is so soft and luxe, and something about the simplicity of a matching set makes me feel put together, even if I’m just hopping in bed.
#5. Freedom Moses Slides
Runs TTS, waterproof, color is “sand”
My friend Liz from Destination Kerr influenced me to buy these, and I only wish I would’ve known about them sooner. Yes, they resemble the iconic Birkenstock, but are made of PCU and are entirely waterproof. I use these as my outdoor sandals, but have also worn them for errands, and casual wear. Visit their site, here, for a million different color options.
#6. iPhone 11 Pro Max Silicone Case
Color is “light brown.”
While I used to be a die hard Apple-only products user, I’ve recently come to appreciate the less expensive, and just-as-good-of-quality options out there. We all know how much I love neutrals, and this soft brown is the perfect neutral.
#7. Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
Talk about an at-home spa experience. I’ve used this balm sparingly as it’s not cheap and I was trying to make it last. However, I could easily incorporate it into my nightly routine. Use it as a makeup remover, a mask, a cleanser.. or all three. I need to buy another!
#8. Cap Toe Espadrille Flats
Runs TTS, and have a memory foam sole.
While the iconic Chanel espadrille is every girls dream, these $30 Target look-alikes are just as good. I’ve been wearing these nonstop; with dresses, jeans, shorts… you name it. A great summer shoe!
#9. Ilia Soft Focus Finishing Powder
I briefly shared this product in this post, and was happy to snag it during Sephora’s Annual Spring Sale. Stephanie Ledda convinced me I needed to try it, as she claims it’s her all time favorite makeup product. I use it to set my under-eye concealer and my T-zone and it truly blurs every pore. It sets my makeup so seamlessly, and doesn’t alter the color of my foundation. I’ve really been loving this buy!
#10. Oversized Woven Striped Accent Pillow
Color is “tan/cream.”
With a tan leather ottoman, I thought these tan/cream accent pillows would look nice on our couch in the living room. The oversized look creates contrast and interest against our smaller pillows, and the woven material adds texture.
And that’s it, folks! Remember, these are products I’ve bought, used, and loved. Your trust in me and my brand means the world to me, so I want to make sure I’m sharing the things I would 100% recommend.
What’s your favorite product from above? As always, I’d love to hear if you snag anything for yourself!
For future reference, more The Monthly Lineup content will be posted under the “shop” category of this site. Thanks for reading —
