Instagram/summerfridays

August is officially here, the last full month of summer that we have (sigh). This summer has been a season filled with exploring new things, finding new favourites, and rediscovering existing gems in the fashion and beauty space. As self-proclaimed shopping enthusiasts who are always trying new things, it’s kind of a big deal when something stands out enough to become an obsession. So it’s only fair that we share those things with you!

We plan on soaking up every last minute of the sun-filled season with these tried-and-true obsessions by our side.
