Today’s post is one of my favorite posts each and every month. Today I’m going to share your Top 15 picks from June. Usually I highlight the Top 12 from the month, but there were lots of items that were neck and neck this month, so you’re getting FIFTEEN!
Not surprisingly, many of y’alls Top 15 picks are in my top picks for the month as well. All of the items I’m featuring today are items that I added to my own closet, makeup drawer, or home (or already owned), and because of that they are items that you will continue to see on the blog as long as they are in stock.
The picks that made this month’s top list are from Nordstrom, Amazon, Walmart, and Colleen Rothschild. And great news, everything is under $100, lots is under $50, and some items are under $20!
So, what were our favorites for the month? Let’s look and see…
1) dress / 2) short set / 3) Lumi Glotion / 4) Unseen Sunscreen / 5) Face Oil #9 / 6) short sleeve cardigan / 7) matte gold bracelet stack / 8) bowl and serving set / 9) pajamas / 10) multicolor bracelet stack / 11) orchid / 12) cuffed jeans / 13) ruffle sleeve blouse / 14) beaded earrings / 15) cotton poplin dress
1) dress / Okay, ladies! THIS DRESS is FABULOUS. I’m not sure that the fabulousness is translating through the screen, but I’m absolutely smitten with it in real life. It’s SASSY. It also happens to be very well made and has great reviews.
It’s 97% cotton with 3% spandex, so it has the perfect amount of stretch in it. It’s a lightweight poplin that I’m in love with. It’s got a great plunging v neckline (but it’s not too revealing), and the tiered hem and pleating are perfection. AND IT HAS POCKETS! This feels very much like a J Crew or Anthropologie dress to me. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
Now get this, this dress is UNDER $30. And you’ll see some other colors/patterns in a minute.

Here it is styled with the #6 cardi.
poplin mini dress / short sleeve cardigan / hammered hoop earrings / straw tote / barely there flip flops
When I initiall showed the black dress, I talked about how I liked it so much that I was thinking of getting it in another color. Well, I bought two more colors. #oops
HOW CUTE IS THIS DRESS IN THE BLACK AND WHITE FLORAL!!! It looks MUCH more expensive than it is.

And it’s cute with a denim jacket too.

And here’s the pink with the white cardi! The pink is gorgeous, and it looks so fresh and summery with the white cardi and colorful jewelry.

And here I’ve styled it with the red cardi and the denim jacket.

So what do you think? Do I keep the black and white floral or the pink? I was thinking pink, but lots of you thought the black and white floral looked more expensive, so I think that’s what I’m going to go with.
And here are a handful of ways to style the black dress…
dress / beaded fan drop earrings / lip oil / beaded bag / gold cuff bracelet / black wedge sandals
dress / raffia drop earrings / matte gold bracelet stack / graphic hobo bag / lip oil / wedges
dress / beaded fringe earrings / gold cuff bracelet / lip oil / clutch / gold heeled sandals
dress / square crystal stud earrings / ring set / clutch / black wedge sandals
dress / multicolor beaded earrings / disc layered necklace / matte gold bracelet stack / bucket bag / sandals
dress / crystal flower stud earrings / bracelet set / beaded handle bag / blush heeled sandals
dress / raffia drop earrings / matte gold bracelet stack / straw crossbody bag / wedge sandals ON SALE
2) short set / This little quilted number is not just one of my faves from the month, it’s one of my favorite picks for all of 2024 thus far. I wear this one at home of course, but I also wear this one all around town. It has a perfectly relaxed fit, and you can wear the top out, but I like wearing it with a half tuck. It washes beautifully, which I was worried it wouldn’t, but I’m telling you I’ve washed it several times and it looks brand new. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
loungewear set / chunky hoop earrings / heart necklace / multicolor beaded bracelet stack / matte gold bracelet stack / woven slide sandals
This top looks good with denim shorts as well.

3) Lumi Glotion and 4) Unseen Sunscreen / So now that it’s summer, I’ve switched up my makeup routine again. I’ve simplified it for summer! Now I’m using a simple combination just about every day of Unseen Sunscreen as my base layer, and then the Lumi Glotion on top.
I know I’ve talked a lot about elta MD sunscreen, and I do still use it and will be using it again come fall, but right now I’m using the Unseen Sunscreen. Not a day goes by that I don’t wear it. It’s just so light and it feels like a makeup primer going on. NONE of that yucky sunscreen feeling. This stuff is incredible. It’s velvety in texture and it totally just glides on your skin, even over your makeup. I initially apply it under my makeup, but I can reapply it over my makeup with great results too!
My skin absorbs the Unseen Sunscreen very quickly (like IMMEDIATELY!) and there is NO TRACE of it. It’s not oily or greasy, it gives a matte finish, and it doesn’t leave any white residue behind either. Also, from reading reviews, it seems it’s awesome for people with super sensitive skin. I’m telling you, the product is absolutely incredible.
The Lumi Glotion (I get the medium.) was new to me last year, and I’m completely obsessed. Sometimes I use it like a tinted moisturizer and it’s all that I wear. That’s actually what I’ve been doing pretty much all summer. When I need more coverage, I combine it with my foundation. It gives some nice color and a healthy and beautiful glow, while still getting the coverage the foundation gives. I had my sister-in-law use it when we were at the ranch a couple of months ago, and she fell in love with it and ordered it immediately. It has over 2o,000 5 Star Ratings and it’s UNDER $18 all the time, but right now it’s ON SALE. If ordered today, most of you can have it in your hands (and on your face!) by tomorrow. #gottaloveprime

5) Face Oil #9 / The Face Oil #9 is one of my ride or die products that I literally cannot imagine not having in my product arsenal. I talked about it once again in June because it was part of their HYDRATION SALE that was happening at the time.
It’s a Top 10 product for me for sure, but it’s actually probably TOP 3 for me. And it’s one of the miracle products that seems to work on every skin type including dry, oil, and combination. It’s MAGIC.
It used to be too much for my skin, but now I can’t imagine it not being a part of my routine. I used to only use it at night, but now I use it both a.m. and p.m. A little bit goes a really long way, and my skin drinks it up as it works on radiance, texture, and fine lines. Colleen touts it as the ultimate in skin luxury, and I have to agree. It improves radiance. RADIANCE! Who doesn’t want to increase their radiance?!?
I put 1 to 2 full pumps in my hand with the Extreme Recovery Cream (also seen below and also in the sale) at night and apply it all over my face and neck. It hydrates and plumps like nothing else I’ve ever used. The Extreme Recovery Cream is thick, rich, and ultra-creamy. This special little cocktail is such a treat for my skin, and I look forward to using it every night. In the morning, I combine the Face Oil with my Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream because it’s lighter.
Use the code STMT20 for 20% OFF the face oil and anything else you need to grab from Colleen Rothschild.

6) short sleeve cardigan / This cardi is super soft, super cute, and super affordable. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
I got it in this red, in the blue and white stripe with red trim (that’s currently sold out), and the white.
short sleeve cardigan / hammered hoop earrings / bracelet / jeans / designer inspired tote / barely there flip flops
It’s only $22, and I love it.

7) matte gold bracelet stack / Okay, I’m going to talk about these two bracelet sets yet again because I can’t get enough of them. I find myself wearing one or both with almost every summer outfit. Here I have them all mixed in together and love the look, but in the next pic ’m going to show them stacked on top of each other.

Here they are simply stacked on top of each other. I like this look too.

8) bowl and serving set / I grabbed this on a whim, and now I’m so happy to have it! Seriously, how cute is this bowl and serving set?!?
9) pajamas / Definitely one of my personal favorites for the month, this pants set is also only $17. I’m wearing the “vibrant orchid floral dot” here, but the set comes in 9 color/pattern options.
They are soooooo soft, sooooooooo stretchy, sooooooo comfy, and they are cooling as well. I like them even better than the Soma Cool Night’s pajamas I have because I think this launder better AND they come in cuter patterns. And they are obviously way more affordable.
They are also size inclusive coming in sizes XS – 3X. I’m wearing a medium.
And a black floral…
And a blue leopard…
10) multicolor bracelet stack / Here’s another look at the multicolor set mixed with the gold set…

And here are several outfit plans with the multicolor stack…
hite tee / teardrop earrings / white ankle flare leg jeans / striped clutch / twisted gold bracelet / multicolor beaded stack / sandals
denim jacket / white tee / teardrop earrings / white ankle flare leg jeans / striped clutch / twisted gold bracelet / multicolor beaded stack / sandals
white tee / denim jacket / camo pants / sunglasses / leaf drop earrings / jewel toned color block beaded bracelet stack / woven tote / sneakers
white tee / beaded bag (green version HERE)/ must have jeans /black woven bag / heart huggie earrings (bottom row)/ colorful bracelet stack (multicolor color block) / gold bracelet stack / ring stack / lip oil / sneakers
11) orchid / This orchid is BEAUTIFUL. Like it’s seriously stunning. It was the perfect touch for this little tray on the bathroom counter. I grabbed the tray at Homegoods, but you can find a similar one HERE.
The colors are so pretty, it’s very lifelike, and the $20 price tag is so reasonable!
12) cuffed jeans / Let’s talk about the jeans. They are from our beloved Wit and Wisdom and have the Ab-Solution technology that we all know and love. They’ve got a straight leg and a great little cuff that hits just a little above the ankle. They are the perfect summer jeans. I’m wearing my regular size 4, but size down if between sizes.

If you love the color and pattern of the first dress, but you don’t need a dress, look how great this top is!!! It’s the same lightweight cotton poplin, but the sleeves have a double ruffle with some tiny little trim. It runs large too, but I again stuck with my regular medium to have enough room in the chest. I would suggest sizing down if you don’t have a large chest.

13) ruffle sleeve blouse / This blouse is flirty and feminine, and I love the split neck and the triple ruffle sleeves. I think it looks great dressed down here with denim shorts, but it’s definitely nice enough to be dressed up enough for the office. This is the “hot pink”, but it comes in 8 colors. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

14) beaded earrings / These earrings caught lots of y’alls eye, and I totally get it. I think I only mentioned them once after this collage, but I think this collage is what inspired most of you to grab them.
1) 1-piece swimsuit / 2) beaded earrings (Rio) / 3) insulated travel mug / 4) blingy sandals / 5) flip flops / 6) beaded stone necklace / 7) teardrop earrings / 8) beaded bracelet set / 9) off the shoulder top / 10) short sleeve cardigan / 11) straw tote / 12) strapless maxi dress / 13) tie back blouse / 14) eyelet sleeve tee / 15) sleeveless bias midi dress / 16) gauze swing dress
15) cotton poplin dress / I LOVE THIS DRESS. It’s a lightweight cotton poplin with a split neck, a flutter sleeve, a DARLING faux wrap skirt with a ruffle, and the cutest little sash you tie at the waist. It’s such a great dress. It’s got pockets too! This is a dress that can be worn from spring till early fall, and it would work for so many different types of occasions. You just pull it over your head, which I much prefer to a dress that has to zip up the back or heaven forbid on the side. It runs a bit big, but I’m still in a medium (which is normal for me for dresses like this). A small would be too tight in the chest for me, so I stuck with the medium.

I wanted to show it dressed down a bit too, so I threw on a denim jacket, some faux leather flips flops, and a super cute pom pom straw tote. I want to remind you that the bag is under $40 and the faux leather flip flops are under $10!
