July Favorites

July was a good month. I celebrated the Fourth of July in the Hamptons, celebrated my boyfriend's birthday in Madison, moved out of my college apartment officially, and went up to EJ's lakehouse this past weekend. I also ran 60 miles, which was my most yet of any month in 2020! Here were my favorite things from July:

I shared more favorites in Friday's top 10 post... I didn't realize that it was the last one of June otherwise I wouldn't have done two favorites posts back-to-back! Poor planning on my part...

Obviously, the best thing that happened in July was Folklore!

My H&M haul was probably the highlight of the month in regard to favorite clothing purchases... ORRRRR my bike shorts. I'm so obsessed with them. I have them in both white and olive green, and my mom just bought the ink blue which are super cute as well! They are the best. Even a few of my friends were convinced enough to try them out, and I have heard only positive reviews! 

My recent outfits are all linked on my liketoknow.it page here!

I finished The Last Mrs. Parrish and I don't really know how I feel about it... don't get me wrong, it's a really great book. The second half especially was a page-turner and I could not put it down. However, I just sort of hate how psychological thrillers make me feel.... and I didn't realize until it was too late that this book is like that. Everyone I've heard from has loved it, and I thought it was really good, I am just easily freaked out after reading something twisted, haha.

I got my first haircut since Thanksgiving!!! Haha. It was just a trim but it was much needed.

My fave beauty products in July definitely included a couple different SPF tinted moisturizers, which I will be sharing in-depth in a few days! Because we are still heavily socially distancing in Wisconsin, I didn't really go out much or have many reasons to put on makeup. So, other than that, I mostly focused on skincare this month -- I have been loving the SiO Cryo System!

Hmmm.. what did I eat in July? I wrote this post on my fave snacks, so I guess mostly those things!

My boyfriend and I made dinner together pretty much every night when I was in Madison, so I had a lot of fun with his air fryer! I made buffalo cauliflower in the air fryer that was amazing. 

Oh, I have been eating a ton of bagels. I think maybe it's because I was running so much, but the only thing I wanted all throughout July was carbs. Like, even more than usual! An everything bagel with cream cheese was my standard breakfast in July and that is sooo my truth.

I am back in a wine phase. I loved this rosé and this rosé that I tried recently (more rosé faves coming in Wednesday's blog post recapping my picnic last week!) and this Sauvignon Blanc is an OG fave of mine that I've been loving extra recently. 

What were you loving in July?!
