editor picks; may 2025

May was a month for the basics, feelings of summer, & western touches . I have really been inspired by the coming of summer and western influences in home and fashion. Here are some of my versatile favorites and a couple fun stand outs that I enjoyed this month.

1. Vintage T-Shirt - this tried and true made it on the list yet again this month. I love a classic, clean white tee look so having a few of these in my closet is a must. It is definitely a staple, and I love the price tag because we all know a white tee doesn't last forever. Comes in a lot of colors too!

   
   

2. Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush; Apres - again.... another repeat! These Merit blushes are the best. This shade is the perfect berry pink that gives a gorgeous summer flush. Love the finish with these and they are great for the lips as well.

   
   

3. Dallas Cowboys Varsity Bomber Jacket - I LOVE this. I bought it for the Post Malone concert at AT&T stadium, and I am obsessed. Sad that it is getting too warm for it, but I will be getting a lot of use out of this during football season and the colder months. It is currently on sale too which we love making it perfect time to snag.

   
   

4. Hand-Painted Striped Mug & Saucer - how cute is she? This was another fun find this month with the perfect summer green. I love a peaceful evening with a cup of tea in a cute mug and the saucer totally adds to the experience. Give me all the European summer vibes. This is from Amazon, comes in different colors, and is such a good price!

   
   

5. CRZ Yoga Women's Butterluxe Biker Shorts - a total staple this past month and always! This brand on Amazon resembles veryyyy closely to a high end yoga brand and I honestly like these more. The price tag is stunning (these are $24!!), the colors are plentiful, and the material is SO luxe. Another tried and true - been wearing this brand for a few years now!

   
   

6. Tecovas The Sadie Cowgirl Boot; Toasted Almond Suede - my favorite purchase of the month. I have been dreaming of a pair of Tecovas for quite some time. The color and style of these is gorg making them so easy to style with everything. I already know they will be a continued go to and classic in my closet for a long time. Feeling thankful!

   
   

7. Olibanum Maté eau de parfum - such a dreamy scent! Per the description on the website, the scent is "an energizing splash of bitter leaves and aquatic herbs". It's giving European summer and I am in love - definitely my signature scent for the summer.

   
   

8. Rhode Skin Glazing Milk - I am loving this layered under the Merit Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Foundation. It gives the most gorgeous dewy look without being too much for summer. The way my makeup goes on over this is perfection.

   
   

9. Amazon Magnetic Suction Cup Magsafe Phone Mount - I have been a no case on my phone, gal this month. I love the simple, clean look of a bare iPhone. However, I wanted a little bit of protection when I put my phone down and something with a little grip. This answered the call!

   
   

10. Abercrombie Curve Love High Rise Dad Short - a good 'ole versatile, staple pair of denim shorts for the summer. Love the length and fit of these! Abercrombie denim is unmatched and has converted this former denim hater. Will be wearing these on repeat all spring and summer long.
