Currently Craving: July Favs

 photo Currently Craving - my July favs_zpsfmhaer0g.jpg

I'm finding it very hard to believe today is August 1st... And yes, I'm totally aware that I say the same thing during every one of my currently craving posts each month! The months are flying by and I really don't like it - especially the summer months! But I have so many exciting things happening this month, including heading to Italy! I cannot wait and although I keep telling myself I'm pretty much ready, I'm truly no where near ready and that includes not having a single blog or social post scheduled yet, ha! Typical me ; ) But I sure have had time to shop as we all know... Between the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, summer shopping and a fun time buying Bahamas-gear in the Bahamas last week, my bank account needs a break. I'm also planning on doing a closet makeover this month with full re-organization and man does it need it, everything is a mess!

July has been an awesome month and if you want to check out some of my early favorites for Fall and more, you can check out my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale series that are linked below! Here are my favorite products from July; what I'm loving, currently craving and more:

Tory Burch Crossbody // Kate Spade Jewelry Box // Jewelry Organizer // External iPhone Battery // Sam Edelman Flats // MAC Highlight Powder // Statement Earrings // Beaded Bracelet // Pink RayBans // Workout Top // X Ring // Crochet Sunhat // Naked Highlight Powder // Flamingo Float // Gold Drop Earrings // Patterned Makeup Bag // Essie 'Cab-ana'

Tory Burch Crossbody: I've always been obsessed with bigger tote bags, but this summer I've been gravitating more and more toward smaller shoulder bags and crossbodies. I still love my totes, but something about a smaller bag is just so much easier in the summer time! I love this shade of pink in the new collection from Tory Burch and how it's perfect for all seasons - super transitional which makes the price worth it.

Kate Spade Jewelry Box: I just got this gorgeous jewelry box, and I can't wait to style it and start using it! I love the color/pattern and how light weight it is. You can't tell it's a jewelry box either, so it's great to hide some hidden gems in! ; )

Jewelry Organizer: if you're traveling, you need this in your life! I got this on sale for my trip last week and it's been a life saver for organizing and packing jewelry. The size is great too for travel! It fits in my carry on easily and it's pretty compact which is great.

External iPhone Battery: I just purchased this last week at the Apple store for my trip to Italy... I've had a couple of external batteries, but none of them have really worked that great. When I was there I was browsing and saw this one, and I spoke to a sales associate and even though it's his job to say it works great, he really had a lot of great things to say about it. I got the one that guarantees two charges and I'm excited to try it! Anyone interested in a review? Let me know : )

Sam Edelman Flats: these were on my list of NSale early access favs in pink. I bought them in this gorgeous teal color and I'm beyond obsessed!! I wasn't sure how they'd run size-wise, so I sized up half a size to a 9 1/2 since they looked narrow and they fit PERFECTLY! I'm definitely thinking I'll order them in the pink before the sale ends because they're perfect for fall and winter and they're surprisingly comfortable. I've already mentally come up with so many outfits for the cooler weather and I may or may not have been wearing them shamelessly around my house... ; )

MAC Highlight Powder: highlighters and bronzers have been my obsessions for the past two months! I love the way they look when I'm tan and lately it's been selfie central because of this powder! It's gorgeous and shimmery and the price is great!

Statement Earrings: Beaded Bracelet: who doesn't love a bright colored, summer arm party?! This beaded beauty is stretchy and comfy and doesn't bother me in the heat like other bracelets do.

Pink RayBans: I haven't worn my pink RayBans nearly as much as I thought I would of since I bought them earlier this year, but I've been obsessing over them this summer! The color is gorgeous and if you're in the market for some new, fun sunnies - grab these!!! The pink are hard to come by these days!

Workout Top: the Express workout collection is THE best. I've been trying to workout more and if I'm going to work out I need to be comfy! I love this top and all of the colors it comes in!

X Ring: how pretty is this?! I tried this on in-store a few weeks ago, and it's on my wishlist.

Crochet Sunhat: I wear these fun hats all summer long and I found this crochet hat so much fun. It's different than any I've seen, it's on sale for $15 too!

Naked Highlight Powder: another powder because I have a serious obsession! This one is just as good as the MAC powder and it's gorgeous on your skin.

Flamingo Float: you probably saw this float on my Instagram a few weeks ago, it is my favorite!! I love how cute it is; it makes for great pictures and it's comfy to float on in the pool!

Gold Drop Earrings: PSA - these are $6!!! AND super light weight! I love them and I've already worn them twice (I got them three days ago in the mail)!

Patterned Makeup Bag: as if I need another makeup bag! But this pattern is so cute and there's a ton of sizes in this pattern, it's so pretty and great quality if you're in the market for a new one!

Essie 'Cab-ana': this color and Fiji have been on repeat all summer so far. It's gorgeous on and the perfect summer shade!
