This week, I'm into...

Your weekly dose of cool picks.

Hi, friends! I always love the turn of seasons and the inspiration it brings with it. Below I’m sharing a few things I cannot get out of my head, as of late.

1. This Charlie Bag by Parker Thatch has a chokehold over me. The smooshy factor! (Also, this new one looks incredible too.)

2. Vincent James just released this perfect tank dress and I’m smitten. It looks like the very thing to slip into after a day at the beach as you relax with a cold glass of Rosé and some pink shoulders.

3. Huge bag gal here. I love a loud tote in a bright color to add some punch to a neutral outfit. Bonus points if I can lug all my kids snacks in it and throw it into a washing machine at the end of the summer. This checks all the boxes.

4. I was sent this max repair system to try and I was blown away. It’s so soft and creamy and I love mixing the oil in for extra moisture. The ingredients are top notch, organic, and it’s not fragranced, which makes me very happy. 10/10

   *update: Sweet Chemistry Lab provided me with a discount code for you RUTH20 gets you 20% off!

5. I’ve been posting about this, but this beaded phone strap is the thing I didn’t know I needed in my life. It’s functional, handy, and beautiful. (and well priced!)

6. Ok, I need to post on the gram about these, but if you’re like me you’ve seen the Ripley Rader pants targeted ads and wondered if they live up to the hype. I’m here to tell you… yes! I pulled them out of the box and immediately slipped them on. They are magic. They are a Ponte pant and suck you in in all the right places and are nice and long to wear with boots or a chunky heel. They will be MVP all summer long.

7. Abby Alley is a favorite of mine. Such a great company to support, and the products and quality stand up to the test of time. She just released the beloved sling bag in a Sand Suede and oooooo boy, am I eyeballing it hard. Also- she has some brand new releases coming soon… sign up for her emails!

8. Ok, another Vincent James pick because at this point my closet is 50% VJ. When I saw the Bobby Shorts come out I dropped everything to grab a pair. It’s like they were made for me. I love that you can wear them with flip flips and a bikini just as easily as you can with heels and a tube top for a fancy dinner out. I couldn’t resist getting the matching Claire Vest… mix and match heaven. I’m still over here trying all the combos with this set. They are thin yet substantial. All natural fibers (as always) and made in the US.

9. This vitamin C serum is always on my replenish list. I don’t care how many PR samples I get from other brands… I always buy this and use it daily. I love it.

10. Lastly, but certainly not least, this hair pin, from a local, woman owned company, and the perfect throw-in-your-bag item to keep your hair off your neck on hot summer nights. Once you get the hang of a hair pin, you’ll never go back. Takes 6 seconds and looks utterly chic.

That’s my top ten of the week! Thanks for reading, as always I’d love to hear any favorites of yours you think I should check out.

x, Ruth
