Friday Faves: Best of July!

Happy Friday from Aspen! Can’t believe today is the last day of July and end of summer is knocking at our door. For us, it was a month of celebrating mixed with trials, but regardless it was wonderful. Let’s get into everything I loved this July below!

We had my in-laws in town this month and made my Grilled Pork Tenderloin served with a fresh corn salad, dressed greens and gluten free rolls. We’ve been on such a grilled chicken & steak kick that I had nearly forgotten how delicious and easy a pork tender is!

Ice cold bubbly Cann Spritzes. The buzz of an Aperol Spritz without the cons of alcohol — and today every Cann order comes with a free Spritz bottle! We also love the Cann cocktails and the Roadies for traveling.

I’m hooked on the combo of these crackers dipped in this olive oil hummus — all gluten free, seed oil free and totally addictive.

Finished Carly Fortune’s Our Perfect Storm and ended up really liking it. She’s such a great writer and I loved all the imagery of the beautiful resort the friends are at and the food (the food!!) the main character cooks and photographs. Its always fun and refreshing to read books with very real-life references to social media & just life in 2026 in general.

My good mood music playlist on repeat — a bunch of happy songs with good vibes and a touch of nostalgia.

Burning this Prinsesstarta candle before any company or whenever I want the house to feel more like a fancy hotel (always?).

These utility barrel pants in a lightweight canvas were my most requested link of July — that and these comfy toddler boys slip on shoes that Riley won’t take off.

Lightweight, buttery, “whipped” pajama set (top here, shorts here) in the prettiest pink. Once you feel the fabric… you get it!

I’ve tried 10+ different peel pads but nothing compares to these glycolic pads that are effective without being too spicy - great for more sensitive-prone skin like mine. But buyers beware: it will cause glass skin!

I’ve been a long time fan & user of this face oil with a cult following, and recently got to try their Active Treatment Essence to pair with it. It combines 8 skincare steps into one to plump, nourish, brighten & exfoliate.

Once I bought this layered active wear set (tank here, shorts here) I couldn’t get enough of the soft, stretchy, flattering fabric and flattering fit of the shorts. Since I’ve bought two more pairs of biker shorts and have worn them nonstop!

Might be niche but these ruffle quarter socks are the comfiest I’ve ever worn. I love that they’re not too tight around the ankle but don’t slip down either. Their low socks are also a new fave!
