1. 2016 to 2017 Agenda - Girl Crush: This is by far one of my favorite agendas I've ever owned, and it has been so much getting ready for the upcoming year by decorating each page the way I want to. The best part of this agenda? You can personalize it with your initials or whatever pops into your head with three characters. Since I feature ban.do in pretty much every post I do on here, I had to include this for August since this is the first month you can start using it!
2. Skinnydip Cosmo Iridescent Shoulder Bag: I am ALL about iridescent right now and finding ways to incorporate it into my wardrobe. This shoulder bag is adorable and will definitely bring out my inner 90's girl, which makes it perfect for this last summer month. The trend of iridescent has definitely been of my favorites for this past spring/summer, and I hope it comes back next year as well. It's a blast from the past, but modern and edgy at the same time. What's not to love?
3. QUEEN ANNE (EBONY) Wallpaper: I've talked about this before, but I'm obsessed with the wallpaper that Rifle Paper Co. has come up with. The print quality is so gorgeous, and I absolutely love the idea of having it splattered everywhere in one of your spaces. My goal is to get a little area in my bedroom with this wallpaper, preferably covering the wall by one of my windows. It'd be such a fun contrast to an all white space.
4. ACTIVE CHARCOAL MASK TO CLEAR PORES: I've never once used a facial mask that actually had charcoal in it. To be honest, it kind-of freaked me out to have it slathered over your face for a good thirty minutes. I decided to risk it, since my blackheads have been bad lately, and stop into my local Sephora to get a sample. I didn't go in with just this mask in mind, but the beauty expert in the store highly recommended it. Let's just say, this is a new favorite and will definitely be adding it into my skincare routine. It got deep into my pores, leaving my skin feel soft and rejuvenated.
5. English Pear & Freesia Bath Oil: Listen to the description of this bath oil, 'The essence of autumn. The sensuous freshness of just-ripe pears is wrapped in a bouquet of white freesias, and mellowed by amber, patchouli and woods.' How amazing does that sound? I am so excited to use this bath oil this month and during fall, it's so lightweight and is easy to apply as perfume is. A little bit definitely goes a long way.
6. PLUS DAHLIA SATIN REVERSIBLE BOMBER: I do not know how I lucked out on this, but the jacket I was going to post for this number is no longer available. It looks pretty much exactly like this bomber, but has beautiful embroidered flowers on it and is so perfect. I've gotten so many compliments on it, that I'm so glad I went ahead and spoiled myself. Luckier even, because it's no longer available. If this jacket is anything like the one I have, you have to get it! It's so comfortable.
7. Rosy Eyed 5x7 Print: If only I had my own place, I'd have new artwork EVERYWHERE. I will have to settle for my small amount of wall space, and definitely make room for this lovely piece of art. This is so simple, but so effective in how pretty it is. It'll be perfect as a transition piece into the next season.
8. Pizza Patch: Need I say more?
9. Lisa Frank Adult Coloring Book: Because this is an actual thing, and my 6-year-old heart is bursting with joy. Why must it only be at the Dollar General? Why?!

I can't believe it's already summer, and we're almost done with June! There's always something nice about planning your wardrobe for the summer, everything is just so much more easy and fun to pick out. I do sometimes like to stay with a lot of basics as necessities for my wardrobe, it's always nice to have a special item that will take you through the season! Now though, I just so happen to have five different ones that are my must-haves for this summer, and I hope you enjoy!
1. ASOS Curve Maxi Dress in Floral Print : The maxi dress has been incorporated into my daily style ever since 2012, and I haven't looked back since. It's my favorite item on this list, as it is so much fun to wear and there are so many variety of options! This dress from ASOS Curve is beyond gorgeous, and I love the color combo of black and richer shades of pink.
2. Amour Graphic Tee : Say what you mean, mean what you say! There's no better way to do that with a graphic tee, especially when it's something as romantic as 'Amour'. I've talked about graphic tees being a necessity for any wardrobe before, and that is why it's number two on my list for summer! You can dress it up or you can dress it down, either way you're sure to be comfortable no matter what.
3. Classic Black Leather Satchel : As anyone knows, handbags are my thing. People may be obsessed with shoes, but I'm head over heels (PUN INTENDED) for handbags. Whether they are shoulder bags, clutches, a messenger bag or even a tote, I will fall in love them no matter what. I have probably 20+ of a variety of these, but this one from Cambridge Satchel is my new favorite. It's not only a must-have for summer, but for all year round.
4. GabiFresh D/DD Cup Black Underwire Mid-Waist Bikini : While I may not be swimming any time soon this summer, I've been lusting over the Gabi Fresh collection for Swimsuits for All ever since the preview images came out. I mean, how flattering and sexy are these swimsuits?! I don't know if I'd ever be able to rock one, but this gorgeous black two-piece is something I want to try.
5. Studio Sweetheart Neckline Jumpsuit : A jumpsuit?! On my must-have list? What is this revelation I'm having?! It's literally only because I'm in love with the silhouette of this one from Eloquii, and how flattering it must be on any body type. I love the easiness of what this jumpsuit must feel like and if there's ever a time to take a risk, it's during the summer! You never know what could happen.
Always,
Mostly Lisa
