I love this month’s roundup of favorite things! From little baubles for your napkins to a tennis dress that looks way more expensive than it is, I’ve received compliments from friends and family on a number of these items.

These are the nine things I loved most in May…

1. ATTRACO Tennis Dress With Shorts

$41

I got this dress in two colors (white and green) for outdoor activities this summer. I bought a medium and it’s a little big, but there is definitely enough support to wear it without a bra while playing tennis. 

2. Cherry Napkin Rings via BestofColombia on Etsy

$10+

I love the way these playful napkin rings dress up my table. Order a matching set or get a mixed fruit set to add a little variety to your tablescape.

3. Revision Skincare Lip Replenisher

$40

I’ve been applying this Revision Skincare Lip Replenisher a couple of times a day for the past few weeks. I have already seen a noticeable improvement in the appearance and texture of my lips!

4. Baggu Giant Pocket Tote

$62 currently on sale for $31

I bought this tote to use as my pool bag this summer. The large size can easily fit a change of clothes and a towel. I love that it has pockets—two on the exterior and two on the interior—to collect various bits and bobs. 

5. Stop Self-Sabotage by Dr. Judy Ho, PhD

$20

This book is absolutely full of insights. The author breaks down four of the ways we tend to get in our own way and how we can stop the cycle of self-sabotage. Reading it has helped me better understand my own unhelpful patterns and tendencies—and learn how I can change them. 

6. Nike Cortez Sneakers

$115

These shoes are a classic style! I wear them on walks and while playing tennis. They also pair really well with jeans or shorts. They fit true to size in my experience.

7. Bliss Drench & Quench Cream-to-Water Hydrator

$20

I love the lightweight feel of this moisturizer. It goes from gel-like to watery and sinks right into the skin. It’s a great moisturizer for the summer months.

8. Abercrombie Cap Sleeve Corset Midi Dress

$110

I feel a bit like I’m in a Jane Austen period piece when wearing this dress! I love the corset silhouette and that it has pockets. This dress fits true to size in my experience.

9. Book Lovers by Emily Henry

$10

This book is the perfect beach read. It’s light, a little corny, and highly enjoyable!
