    Absolute perfect summer dress! Of course, they’d be perfect paired with Teva’s flatforms.

    Aren’t these earrings so fun?!

    These string lights!!!

    LOVE this snail washi tape holder!

    I just keep coming back to this top. Of course I love that its striped but those sleeves just get me!

    You know eye love this rug!

    Not sure I could personally pull off white overalls but this model is killing it and makes me want to try some on!

    On the other hand, I know I could pull these black shorteralls off!

    I’m just a huge fangirl for Friend Assembly’s planters!

    • A cat-shaped cooling rack! There’s also a cloud version.

    • Not under $25 but holy cow, I love this breast model. I’ve never seen one like it. Honestly, their whole shop is full of fun medical finds.
    • I LOVE this gray bra!

    Happy Friday! xoxo
