It’s Friday, so y’all know what that means! It’s time to link up with Erika and Andrea to let everybody know what some of my favorite things are right now.

LOFT FINDS
LOFT is 40% OFF right now with the code NEED, and everything but the last shirt I share from LOFT is included in the sale!
Okay, let’s talk dusters.
I mean, yesterday I would have never classified myself as a person who wore a duster.
tee / tropic duster / sunglasses / paracord earrings / layered necklace / denim shorts / rattan bag (similar bag with overnight shipping HERE) / sandals (size up a 1/2)
But then I met this duster and fell in love.
And now I wear dusters and consider myself a duster person.
What a time to be alive.
The colors and the pattern have me swooning.
I got the xs/s, and I will say it’s cut slimmer than I was expecting when compared to other dusters and kimonos I’ve tried on in the past. It’s definitely not voluminous, so if you’re looking for that, this isn’t going to give that to you. It’s more of a sleek duster, and I think many of you will prefer this cut.
tee / tropic duster / sunglasses / paracord earrings / layered necklace / denim shorts / rattan bag (similar bag with overnight shipping HERE) / sandals (size up a 1/2)
I know I’ve sung the praises of these sunglasses mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnny times before, but I’m about to again. I love these sunglasses, and the price tag of $12.99 is incredible. I have both the tortoise and the black.
tee / tropic duster / sunglasses / paracord earrings / layered necklace / Hudson turquoise bracelet / denim shorts / rattan bag (similar bag with overnight shipping HERE) / sandals (size up a 1/2)
The turquoise bracelet is from the Sheaffer Told Me To x Victoria Emerson summer collection, and it’s 50% OFF right now! The colors are much more vibrant in person. The bright turquoise hues will look awesome with all of your summer outfits.
tee / tropic duster / Hudson turquoise bracelet / denim shorts / rattan bag (similar bag with overnight shipping HERE)
Are you a duster person already? If not, is this one making you rethink your stance on dusters? This would also be a DARLING cover up! And how cute would it be with a white tank, white jeans, and wedges!!!
tee / tropic duster / sunglasses / paracord earrings / layered necklace / denim shorts / rattan bag (similar bag with overnight shipping HERE) / sandals (size up a 1/2)
So this next piece is much more true to what I typically think of when I’m thinking of a duster or kimono. It’s much more generously cut, forgiving, and flowy.
tee / striped kimono / sunglasses / beaded hoop earrings / layered necklace / denim shorts/ sandals (size up a 1/2)
I love the beachy colors and it totally reminds me of a sunset.
tee / striped kimono / sunglasses / beaded hoop earrings / layered necklace / denim shorts/ sandals (size up a 1/2)
I’m going to take a minute to talk about my bra again because IT IS LEGIT. It’s the wireless Amazon bra that I’ve been raving about since last month. Now, as you can see here, I should have worn the nude with this white tee instead of the blush, but the fact remains that I freaking love the bra. Click HERE for the full review of the bra. Reviews continue to role in from readers and y’all are just as obsessed as I am.
tee / striped kimono / sunglasses / beaded hoop earrings / layered necklace / denim shorts
I LOVE stacking these two bracelets. I think the Jackson white and gold bracelet and Boudreaux blush bracelet look so lovely together. And yes, these are 50% OFF too!
tee / striped kimono / sunglasses / Jackson white and gold bracelet and Boudreaux blush bracelet / denim shorts/ sandals (size up a 1/2)
This would also make a great swimsuit cover up, and it would also look good with an all white outfit!
tee / striped kimono / sunglasses / beaded hoop earrings / layered necklace / denim shorts
And just in case you are filling a LOFT cart right now, I wanted to remind you about this skirt I posted on Wednesday…
This white tiered skirt is summer perfection. It’s fluttery, flowy, and fully lined. I think it looks so fresh here paired with a plain white tee and denim jacket, but it can be styled so many different ways. I’m wearing a Medium Petite and love the fit.
tee / denim jacket / rattan earrings (4 pack) / logo necklace / denim jacket / white tiered skirt / sandals (size up a 1/2)
And I’m STRAIGHT UP DYING over this eyelet puff sleeve top that is in route to me as we speak. After I ordered it somebody left a review saying it runs small, so you might want to consider sizing up. I hope the medium I ordered fits me!
And this chambray embroidered top got added to the site yesterday too. DARLING.

NORDSTROM FINDS
I’m so excited that I have some Nordstrom finds for y’all today that all seem to be fully stocked! Lately, it seems that everything that I’ve ordered from Nordstrom sells out quickly, and many times there are limited sizes left by the time I talk about the item, even though I try to have a really fast turn around from ordering to showing it on the blog. For example, I’m really hoping this petal sleeve top is still available by the time I get it! And this easy side tie dress look so comfy. I grabbed it in the mossy green.
Let’s start out with these work out pieces. I’ve showed this tee in other colors before (I have black and blue and love them), and I couldn’t resist the green when it was added to the site. I don’t like wearing form fitting work out clothes, so the relaxed cut of this tee is perfect for me. I’m wearing a medium.
v neck work out tee / work out shorts / edge luxe sneakers
These work out shorts are fantastic. The wide and stretchy waist band is amazing. SO COMFY and flattering as well. Tons of real runners reviewed them on the site, and the reviews are near perfect. We all know that I don’t run, but I do work out (on occasion! ha!), and these are perfect to go from working out to running around town. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
Listen, you have to have the black, but they come in 10 colors!
v neck work out tee / work out shorts / edge luxe sneakers
These new Madewell tees are THE BOMB. They are perfectly oversized and incredibly soft. I wear a medium in the regular v neck Madewell tees (that are fitted), and I’m wearing a medium in this oversized tee too. I feel certain I could wear a small, but I happen to like how slouchy this medium is on me. If you don’t like it quite so slouchy, I would suggest sizing down. It also comes in rust, mint, dark grey, and white.
oversized tee / paracord hoop earrings / Old Navy denim cut offs / recycled flip flop bracelets / sandals (size up a 1/2)
These denim cut offs are from Old Navy. I bought them off of a reader recommendation, and I I’m glad I let her tell me to! They are higher waisted than my other shorts, but I like how they hold me in. They don’t have as much stretch as my other shorts, but I don’t mind because the fit is so great. I’m in the 6s here, but I actually think I might like the fit of the 8s even better for a little more breathing room, so I would definitely suggest sizing up 1 size.
oversized tee / paracord hoop earrings / Old Navy denim cut offs / recycled flip flop bracelets / sandals (size up a 1/2)
Here’s the same outfit, but with the mint color tee.
oversized tee / paracord hoop earrings / Old Navy denim cut offs / recycled flip flop bracelets / sandals (size up a 1/2)
And I’m loving this fun animal print tee. It pairs perfectly with the black shorts, and I really like the muted colors and fun pattern. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
animal print tee / paracord hoop earrings / washed black denim shorts / recycled flip flop bracelets / sandals (size up a 1/2)
Pull on mini skirts are all the rage right now, and this neutral smocked pull on mini skirt is adorable. It’s fully lined, so it’s not see through, and I just think it’s adorable! For size reference, I’m wearing a small.
tee / denim jacket / smocked pull on mini skirt / statement earrings/ logo necklace / sandals (size up a 1/2)

AMAZON BEAUTY
I randomly found my favorite lip mask on Amazon earlier this week. I’m so excited because it’s going to be so convenient to be able to grab it on Amazon! Don’t tell anybody, but Carter is obsessed with it now too. He puts it on every single night, just like his mama. He was really struggling with dry and chapped lips, but not anymore!
When I grabbed the above, it got me to thinking what other beauty products I have purchased (AND LOVED) from Amazon.
The first thing that popped into my mind is my dryer brush (that’s ON SALE now). It smooths my hair, keeps it shiny, and it dries in about half the time. I have one at the house, and I bought one to leave at the ranch house too. I never want to be without it.
And y’all know I’m a grandma and still use my rollers. My typical routine now is that I shower at night, wash my hair every 2 days, and dry it with my dryer brush at night. The next morning, I pop my rollers in and I’m good to go! I let the rollers cool down a bit (too hot of a roller makes the curls too tight), and I love the soft curls that the warm rollers give me.
My spinning makeup organizer is one of my most favorite organizational tools I own. It holds sooooooo many beauty products, and they are incredibly easy to find and access. It’s awesome.
And here are some beauty products that I’ve ordered recently (that I’ll be reviewing soon). I only ordered things with fantastic reviews, so I’m super hopeful that I’m going to love the products too….
* These double chin masks everybody and their dog has been raving about are about to arrive, and I’m pumped. They are supposed tighten and tone your chin and jawline! YES, PLEASE.
* I’m intrigued by these zit patches. If you notice a zit coming up (like a whitehead), pop a patch on before you go to bed, and when you take it off in the morning the moisture drawing technology “pulls the gunk out and flattens the blemish”. Is it weird that I can’t wait to get a whitehead? BECAUSE I CAN’T WAIT.
* I’ve been #influenced, and I got a facial steamer. This one has THOUSANDS of 5 Star Reviews and the benefits of using one are supposed to be incredible. I’m excited to start steaming my face.

Shay Shull says
Sheaffer! That pic of you ladies is ADORABLE!!!! I can’t wait to share the full collection!!!
Kate says
I have been so disappointed with Loft this season. It seems like all the tops I have ordered (and I have ordered a quite a few) are cut shorter and wider than previous years. I am not tall (5’5″) but I have a long torso and nothing fits or looks flattering. Such as shame as their tops are darling.
Sheaffer says
Oh, man! I’m sorry to hear this, Kate! I’ve had hits and misses as well. I’m really hopeful for this latest one I ordered. It’s so dang cute! xoxo
Amanda says
Same here! Not just at Loft but everywhere 🙁 I’m only 5’3″ and have this issue with most tops this year. Granted I had a baby but still…
Elizabeth says
I’m a new to the game kimono person too. I have 2, and I just added a 3rd. 🙂
Sheaffer says
Welcome, Elizabeth. Happy to have you in the kimono club. 🙂
