I live in soft, easy dresses for everyday life during the summer. I like the ones you can just pull on over your hand, pair with trendy sandals, and be on your way, like the embroidered dress from The Coast Brand seen above and below. The founder of this brand sent me this dress along with the loveliest note referencing some of my writing. It has been a true joy to meet other creative women pursuing their passions through my musings here at Magpie, whether in the comments section or via interactions with brands — what a treat.
A few others I have been wearing a ton this season: this Mirth (I own in a different pattern but it — like all of their dresses — is so comfortable, floaty, body-skimming), Mille’s Saffron dress (I own in the blue and white stripe but love all of the patterns), SZ Blockprints’ Jaipur, and this Zara.
A few others I adore / on my radar:
THIS POMANDER PLACE (GOOD FOR MATERNITY/POST PARTUM TOO)
Unrelated, but I also wanted to share an excellent beauty sale that launched at Blue Mercury. Up to 30% off some fantastic prestige beauty lines and products. My top picks:
THE BEST TRANSLUCENT POWDER EVER…ADDS LUMINESCENCE AND NEVER LOOKS CAKEY. I USE THIS ANY TIME I’M WEARING FOUNDATION TO “SET”
DYSON AIR WRAP — 20% OFF…SO TEMPTING
M61 POWER GLOW PEELS — THESE ARE INCREDIBLE FOR A QUICK BRIGHTENING FIX…I USE THESE IF I’M IN A HURRY TO GET READY FOR AN EVENT BUT FEEL LIKE MY SKIN LOOKS DULL
I LOVE THESE SHIMMER SHADOW STICKS FOR EVENING — SO EASY TO APPLY
MY FAVORITE TEXTURIZING HAIRSPRAY…A MUST IF YOU’RE DOING LOOSE/BEACHY WAVES
DYING TO TRY THIS MASCARA
I’VE NOT YET TRIED THIS PRODUCT, BUT I KNOW MANY CONSIDER IT A “HOLY GRAIL” — MANY MAGPIES SWEAR BY THIS…JUST BE WARNED THAT THE SCENT CAN BE OFFPUTTING
P.S. More beauty favorites for summer.
P.P.S. More summer dresses — all under $200.
P.P.P.S. How do you handle chores in your home? (And a playlist for doing them!)
