Outfit details: Top | Jeans | Shoes | Belt | Bag | Sunglasses

1. Big news! One of my favorite skincare brands is now available at Sephora.

2. This iconic cleansing gel is now going to be available in a new jelly texture cleansing balm! I am so intrigued and want to try this.

3. I love a different belt shape especially ones that wrap. This one is such a gorgeous statement piece.

4. The color of these sandals!!! Purple satin – I’m obsessed!

5. I struggle with neck pain and ordered this neck/shoulder stretching device.

6. I have this bucket tote for my everyday bag which is now on major sale. It holds so much while also being incredibly sturdy! (My discount code doesn’t work on already reduced items but works on anything full priced – code: MAREESYE).

7. I’ve shared my love for this crossbody bag because of how perfect it is for trips to amusement parks, field trips, etc. It holds so much, doesn’t get dirty and has a million interior pockets for easy organizing. I just got this bag from the same brand that is a bit smaller but still has all the storage compartments I need.

8. Investing in a classic pair of boots for fall/winter is always a good idea. These are part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale but are absolutely timeless and classic! You will wear these for years to come.

9. I have seen so many rave reviews about this new hair mist that I ordered one to try for myself. I love that it’s a bi-phase that you shake up but seems to be a lot lighter than a traditional hair oil which would be perfect for my fine hair.

10. I live for a billowy boho blouse in the summer. This one has small details which make it look so much more elevated than a simple white button down.

11. This seems like a small detail, but this tennis bracelet I’ve been wearing has a metallic closure which makes putting it on so easy. I wish more brands would do this!

12. As a self-proclaimed denim collector, I have been eyeing these jeans for more than a year. Honestly, I have seen them on so many different body types and they always look amazing. I may have to try them at some point for “research” LOL.

13. All my discount codes have been updated. Be sure to browse through all of them before shopping my favorites!

14. Hydrating serums are an essential part of my skincare routine now that my skin is more mature and dehydrated than ever before. I have been testing this intensely hydrating hyaluronic acid serum and LOVE how plumping it is!! So easy to layer into any routine – morning or night. (use code: MAREE25)

A Summer Accessory Roundup

| ,

We still have many more weeks of summer left so I thought I would do a roundup of some of the best accessories that caught my eye this week! I’m loving bold statement jewelry this time of year in both bright colors or traditional gold/silver.

Summer Accessory Roundup

Bembien Maris Beaded Bag

A simple white bag but the beaded detail makes it so much more interesting!

Bracha Jewelry Reggie Stacked Ring

I saw this ring and immediately fell in love with the stacked look + carabiner holding it all together. So unique but still so chic.

LUV AJ Formentera Bangle Set

Chunky bangles are having a major moment. I love these pale pink ones for summer.

LUV AJ Palma Shell Statement Necklace

Though these are all shells, I would still wear this necklace throughout fall and winter. I love the boldness of the style without it being overly apparent what the shapes are exactly.

Janessa Leone Walnut Stripe Felix Hat

Bucket hats have evolved over the past few years and look much more stylish than when they first came out. Janessa Leone makes some of my favorite hats so I knew her take on a bucket hat would be so gorgeous.

DIFF Eyewear Cafe Ole Greer Sunglasses

This light pinky-brown shade looks close to a neutral so these are much more versatile than you may think.

Sardine Aster Sunglasses

I own these sunglasses in another colorway. I have worn them all summer long because they add so much character to every outfit.

Zara Patchwork Print Quilted Toiletry Bag

As soon as I saw this, I immediately thought it would be a great summer bag. Either to keep in your purse or to carry alone with a casual outfit.

Juliette Green Mykonos Necklace

I can already envision so many gorgeous summer looks styled with this stunner!

Sequin Jewelry Aquamarine Fragments Beaded Necklace (discount code: MAREE20)

I love this different take on a chunky beaded necklace. All the beads are different sizes and you can wear the clasp either in the front or the back.

Baublebar Open Band Custom Birthstone Ring

A great gift idea to get someone either for themselves with their own birthstone or their kid’s birthstone in the ring.

Baublebar Striped Custom Alpha Tote

These striped totes have become an instant best seller for Baublebar and I can see why. They come in a bunch of different colors and can be personalized.

Staud Red Rose Christos Large Tote

While this tote looks opaque, it is actually a sheer red that you can see through slightly. And this vibrant fire engine red will make a major statement with any outfit.

Everything I Read in July 2026 – Part 2

, |

The Keeper – I finished this book but barely. It was not enjoyable and dragged on endlessly. It’s been on my TBR (to be read) list for more than a year so I had high hopes that were extinguished only a few chapters in. Cal is a retired Chicago detective living in a small Irish town with his fiance, who was born and raised in this town. The community is tight because they have all grown up together but those bonds begin to fall apart when a young woman is found murdered. The authorities seem to have no leads so Cal uses his decades of experience to investigate it on his own.

The Skincare Products I Use To Help Soothe My Irritated Skin

, |

I don’t have particularly sensitive skin but it can get irritated from time to time. I have a handful of products that I reach for to help calm or soothe my skin so I thought I would round them up all in one post. Many of them are products I’ve been using for years, but some are newer discoveries or things I’ve been using recently.

Nighttime Skincare Routine Order

, |

Using the correct products for your skin concerns is important but ensuring you are applying them in the correct order is just as vital to efficacy. Applying the products of your nighttime skincare routine in the proper order is important because it allows the products to work correctly giving your skin the results intended. It took me some trial and error to figure out the right order to apply my products but now I can confidently add new products into my routine knowing exactly where they should go. The best nightly skincare routine depends on your skin type and goals, but there are some general rules that any routine should follow. This post will walk you through the ideal order while also explaining why each step matters. Products work differently for everyone so it’s best to consult a dermatologist if you have persistent skin concerns.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has begun but I only have a few items on my list this year. I always buy a new set of my favorite hair scrunchies – I will never use anything else! These dark wash wide leg jeans are in my cart. And this printed short sleeve cardigan is from one of my favorite brands that does the best colorful prints! It will be so fun to wear in the beginning of fall.
