BEDKNOBS & BAUBLES

Instead of recapping every new purchase each month, I’m going to take a different approach and whittle it down to a shorter roundup of the “greatest hits.” These are the standouts of the month that will eventually run the gamut from clothing to décor to beauty to household necessities — anything that I bought, loved, and thought you might want to know about, too!

Here are this month’s most notable items:

• J.Crew popover shirt and matching shorts – After buying this set in red earlier this year, I knew I needed to add the black version to my wardrobe before it sold out. Wearing the pieces together is such a breezy, pulled together look for summer, and black is a wonderful backdrop for statement jewelry. The top is long like a tunic, so it gives the illusion of being a dress without worry that the wind will kick up the hem and it’s easy to bike in. I went with a medium on top and a large on bottom. I’d say that the top is more generously sized than the bottom. I likely could have gone with a small on top without it making much difference.
• Jenni Kayne ‘Everyday’ sweater (also available at Shopbop) – I’ve had this sweater on my wish list for what feels like ages and finally decided to see what all of the fuss was about over Jenni Kayne sweaters. It’s really quite lovely in person! It’s cut well and the fabric has a heavier hand feel rather than feeling cheap. I’m really happy with it and maybe a little bummed (just a little) that cooler weather is on its way out! I tried both a medium and large. I preferred a more classic cut that the medium offered, but you could absolutely go up a size without it looking sloppy.
• Amazon mesh beach tote – I’m sure you’ve seen this tote or one like it making its rounds on social media — and for good reason, as it turns out. I picked this up for our recent trip to Barcelona and it was the perfect travel piece. I only brought a small crossbody bag for everyday wear and used this as a shopping bag and a carryall for the umbrella, beach towels, and whatever else we picked up throughout the day. The bag itself is lightweight and packs virtually flat so it doesn’t take up much space in your suitcase. I also really liked the mesh so sand could sift out before we left the beach.
• Gacimy gold-plated hoop earrings – If you’re in the market for a costume, lightweight, mid-size hoop earring, this is it. I don’t like to bring nice jewelry with me on vacation — with exception of the gold bracelet that doesn’t leave my wrist — so these versatile hoops were great and worked well with my summery items.
• Target marble tray – This marble tray is such a steal at $30. The ribbed texture on the outside makes it more interesting than typical tray. I’ve been using it on our coffee for Instax prints.
