July Lately - Ashley

Somehow we're already wrapping up July, and I'm not quite sure how that happened. Summer always seems to fly by, but this month has been full of little things I've genuinely loved, from the outfits I've been reaching for on repeat to the book that's been keeping me up way past bedtime, beauty finds that have earned a permanent spot in my routine, and a few random favorites I can't stop recommending. I always love sharing what's actually making my life a little easier, more fun, or simply bringing me joy, so I thought I'd round everything up in one place. Welcome to July, Lately. I hope you find something new to love right alongside me.

It is truly unfortunate that this pajama/loungewear brand is worth every penny because she is not cheap. 😅 That being said, I genuinely cannot stop wearing it or buying more. This new orange color is unreal and gives me all the summer vibes. The fabric literally feels like butter and somehow makes lounging around the house feel luxurious.

For makeup, I'm still completely loyal to the Iconic London Illuminator. If you want your makeup to look more expensive, this is the product. It gives the most beautiful, lit-from-within glow without looking glittery or overdone. I love mixing a few drops into my foundation for an all-over radiant finish, but it's just as gorgeous tapped onto the high points of your face after makeup for an extra glow. It's one of those products I genuinely can't imagine my routine without. Check out the before and after below. The difference is honestly wild.

If you’re new here, welcome! Reading is one of my favorite hobbies, and every year I try to hit 100 books, which means I’ve become... let’s call it selective (sorry, not sorry). 😂

Last month I recommended This Story Might Save Your Life, and I still can’t stop thinking about it. Right now, I’m reading Twenty Years Later by Charlie Donlea, and I am completely hooked. It’s one of those books that’s impossible to put down.

Honestly... nothing. 😂 I’m fully in my puzzle era at the moment, so that’s where all my free time has been going. That said, I will absolutely be dropping everything for the new Idaho 4 documentary on Netflix.

Pre-fall pieces have officially started sneaking into my cart, and I have zero regrets. I recently picked up this Chloe bag, and I am completely obsessed. It’s the perfect everyday bag. I can throw everything I need inside for school drop-off, errands, or travel while still feeling polished and put together.

Hands down, the EADEM Sunsuede Stick. Oh. My. Goodness. It feels like absolutely nothing on your skin, glides on effortlessly, and the best part is that you can reapply it over makeup without ruining your entire face. It’s that good.

A very close runner-up is the new ONE/SIZE Bronzing Setting Spray. If you’ve been eyeing it, consider this your sign because it’s definitely worth adding to your cart.

The Bur Bur Brush. Trust me on this one. It feels so relaxing on your scalp that it’s become part of my daily routine. I completely understand why it sold out so quickly because the hype is real.

I have been absolutely obsessed with truffle scrambled eggs lately. That’s it. That’s the recipe. 😂 Just add a little truffle salt to your eggs, and I promise it completely changes the game.

This facial hair trimmer deserves a permanent spot in my Amazon Hall of Fame. Apparently my hair vitamins are working really well, which means I’m shaving a little more often than I’d like. 😅 I couldn’t get in for derma planing until the end of August, and this little gadget has genuinely been a lifesaver in the meantime.

That’s it for this month’s favorites! I always love putting these together because they’re a chance to share the things I’m genuinely using, loving, and recommending beyond what you see on Instagram.

Thank you so much for being here. It truly means the world to me, and I can’t wait to share more with you next month. 🤍That’s it for this month’s favorites!
