Think of this as a mini-editor’s letter: what I loved most this month.

Jenni Kayne Sweater: This is an easy, breezy sweater to throw on and go. I love wearing it with cut-offs and a tee, over my shoulders with a sundress—with everything, basically. It’s the perfect summer weight, with a nice open weave. I took my usual size medium, and it’s oversized, which I prefer for a beachy sweater. If you prefer something more fitted, size down.
J.Crew Dress: This is the simplest, easiest, everyday dress. I have it in tangerine and white. It’s the perfect blank canvas for a pile of necklaces (as seen here), and I like that it skims the body without touching it.
Jones Road Tinted Moisturizer: I love this new tinted moisturizer from Jones Road. JRB is one of those brands where nearly every product is a winner (read my full review of the brand here!), and this one did not disappoint. Just a hint of coverage that sinks into your skin for that ideal “your skin, just a little bit better” look. You will look like you got a good night’s sleep.
Everyone is Lying To You, by
Jo Piazza
. If you are also obsessed with thrillers and/or influencer culture, pre-order this book immediately! It’s a tradwife murder mystery that I could not put down!
Esker Body Plane: This is a new self-care favorite before showering. Apply a thin coat of body oil all over, and then run this over legs and arms like you are shaving. It simultaneously exfoliates while pressing the oil into your skin, resulting in your softest skin ever. I’ve been using this for a few weeks and am super impressed with it so far.
Monica Vinader Bracelet: I love these friendship bracelets and think they look super pretty stacked together. You can use code GRACEMV20 for 20% off.
Rothy’s Clogs: We’ve been over these. I love them so much. I never want to take them off my feet. I got my mom a pair and she loves them too. They are a perfect house shoe, though I have worn them out walking a few times.

Bath Person Sweatshirt: Is there a more “me” article of clothing? I love this sweatshirt so much. Just a cozy piece to lounge around the house in.
Gold Chain with Pavé Clasp: It is so hard to find weighty gold pieces that are a) great quality and b) won’t break the bank. This one delivers. My friends all thought it was fine jewelry.
Loeffler Randall Dress: This is the cutest little crochet coverup. I prefer wearing it over a white one-piece by the pool or beach.
Soshe Lip Balm in Brûlée: This is my new favorite tinted lip balm. The color is just right, and it does an amazing job of hydrating and softening the lips.
Maison d’Etto Durban Jane Perfume: This fragrance is addictive. It’s what I would call a (rare!) woodsy summer scent, because many of my woodsier fragrances do not work for summer. This one does! It’s heaven. As an aside, I bought the whole sampler of Maison d’Etto’s fragrances after trying (and loving!) Verdades last year. This one was the winner: Sandalwood, cedar, and orange flower.
Red Musc Perfume: I know, I know — too many fragrances. I am a bit of a fragrance addict. I was at my friend Lavinia’s house, and somehow the conversation turned to fragrances, and all of us (guys and girls) were trying this one on. It smelled great on every single person. Just a warm, sultry (but light!) musk. It layers nicely with other fragrances, too.
The Grand Tourist Magazine: I pre-ordered this new print magazine (though it’s more like a coffee table book!) a couple of months ago, and the first copy arrived. It’s a treat to page through. The photography is beautiful, and I loved the feature on Van Cleef.
Flamingo Estate Sage Candle: I am a longtime fan of Flamingo’s tomato candle (it’s one of my all-time favorites; I buy it in bulk!), but I wanted to try out this sage one. It’s divine. Earthy in just the best way. I love everything this brand makes.
Simon Miller Raffia Earrings: These are BIG! And that’s what makes them so special. Dramatic in shape and size, but still lightweight. I’ve worn them to a few parties and they’re a total compliment magnet.
