I put a little poll on my Instagram stories asking if you guys would like to see a blog post series rounding up my top 5 purchases each month, and the vast majority of you said yes! I’m happy to share, and I actually think it will be an interesting exercise in learning what had the most value for me. So let’s get into it! In no particular order:
1. Neutral Victoria Emerson Wrap Bracelet
I’ve found myself reaching for this bracelet again and again – it’s the perfect neutral sparkle that goes with everything. I love how it has both the cool silver and the warmer cream/peach tones together.
2. Jergens Instant Sun Self-Tanner
I decided to give this a try after I saw it on Kathleen Post’s Instagram stories. I really trust her recommendations, and this is another good one! I’m very pale, and after taking a few photos with my legs showing, I felt like I needed something stronger than the other Jergens self tanner I was using. Of course, there’s nothing at all wrong with being pale; I just personally like to be at least somewhat bronzed in the spring and summer. I found this easy to apply, and gave a nice natural color, not orangey at all. I love how quickly it dries too! Definitely my new go-to. I use shade Light Bronze.
3. Aerie Distressed Sweatshirt
So I’ve already ordered this in a second color – that’s how much I like it! This sweatshirt is lightweight and so soft, and I love the distressed details. It’s the perfect thing to lounge around the house in, but also looks so cute with jeans or shorts. I sized up 1 to a medium since it’s a bit cropped!
4. Abercrombie Distressed Denim Shorts
Love. These. Shorts! They’re the perfect go-with-everything wash. Wearing them in the photo above with the Aerie sweatshirt! The denim is thicker, but still with some stretch, which I love. They also have great length and are longer in the back. I did size up two from my normal 27 to a 29 – I like my denim shorts looser, and I do feel like these run a bit small.
5. Blush Throw
This throw blanket is the softest thing, and I just love the peachy blush color! It’s not too heavy, so it’s perfect for cuddling under on a spring night. And, it’s Chloe approved!
