May!! It doesn’t help that I literally just finished my April Favorites a day ago (late,) but with May here, it feels like summer is already flying! We also have quite a bit of travel coming up too, so I’m excited and a bit anxious at the same time. I know my other favorites was recent, but oddly enough, I had NO issue writing this. Some months I’m not even sure what to share and it is a little bit harder for me to come up with, but I have so many things I’m loving right now and am stoked to share them.

Everything is linked in the collage below, in addition to the hyperlinked paragraphs below. Enjoy!!

1. Uncommon James Triangle Diamond Vermeil Stud Earrings. These earrings took me by surprise, but I am already obsessed. I have been sitting on a gift card for a couple years now, and finally used it. I prefer to buy jewelry that is made with finer metals, as to have lasting pieces and be less likely to have piercing reactions. These are sterling silver earrings, covered in 18k gold vermeil and have little diamond chips. They are the sweetest little stud earrings and would be great for a little girl just starting her earring collection out, but I honestly love them as a second piercing earring. Would make for a good little mother’s day gift! They come in right under $100 and I think you can get 20% off your first Uncommon James order by signing up for their newsletter and texts.

2. Heidi Merrick Swim Santa Cruz set in Rust. I’ve admired Heidi Merrick’s designs for a long time, but never took the plunge, except in her t-shirt and headwear lines. She recently had an online sample sale, so I took advantage of it. I bought this dress, but I also bought this bikini and I love it!! Such good quality swim and I feel confident wearing it.

3. Sezane Rodrigo Trousers. Did I say I was obsessed with Sezane? Because I am! These trousers are no exception. These pants are easy and breezy to wear, so perfect for the spring to summer transition. I wore them in NYC the other week when it was on the colder side, but I also wore them in Austin, TX, where it was on the warmer side. Great all around! I feel so chic in them, even when just paired with a t-shirt! I love a good statement pant. They are always a good idea!

4. Octobre Elven Sweater. Octobre is the mens collection by Sezane and I LOVE it. I grabbed Nick a couple things from their lines - think elevated t-shirts, and classic, yet modern button down shirts. This sweater is my personal favorite of the batch, because I plan on stealing it from time to time. I’ll pair it with a white crew neck under, add some gold jewelry, and jeans and call it a day. Maybe sneakers and a ball cap or maybe I’ll elevate it with some boots. The options are endless!

5. Hu Crunchy Mint Dark Chocolate. I’ve heard of this brand of chocolate before, but hadn’t purchased any. We bought this one on a whim and it is SO delicious. I’m not even 100% a mint girl. Hu chocolate is special in the sense that it is organic, vegan, paleo, and doesn’t contain dairy, palm oil, refined or cane sugar, sugar alcohols, gluten, emulsifiers, or soy lecithin.

6. Teleties Large Flat Clip.. I was targeted on Instagram for this and bought it so fast! Think of it as a claw clip, but it is flat on your head, more like a pin. It’s great for things like driving, when your head is up next to a seat, but I also think it will be great for summer / laying at the pool or beach. I purchased it in large, but it is also available in medium, and small.

7. Omnilux Blemish Eraser. I shared last month that I love their Clear LED mask, which has helped me manage my healing acne. Use this link coupled with the discount code LMENTS10 to get 10% off. 05/08 - 05/12 they are actually running a 15% off all mini devices, no code needed. If you want to grab the full mask then, use code MOM1 for $45 off. I really like their mini devices because they are very easy to travel with and even easier to use. They stick on with a sticker and can really target the problem area. To be honest, I use both the full mask and the mini even when I travel. I love htem!

8. Quince 100% Organic Cotton Sweater. (c/o) I hate the phrase “so nice, I bought it twice,” but this sweater is so good. I have it in two colors and wear both once a week right now. I have it in speckled beige and ivory, as well as the navy and white version. I know it feels weird to talk about sweaters right now, but these are 100% cotton, so they are actually breathable and are good for chilly spring and summer nights. They transition so well info fall too, so don’t be afraid to grab them now. They’ve already sold out once!

9. Goop Beauty Nutrient Shinebath Hair Mask. (c/o) I adore the Shinebath collection and this mask is the newest product in the line up. I recently shared it in action over here the other day. I switch it up with my conditioner and do it either once a week or every other week. All of their hair products are amazing for my hair type!

10. Able Maria T-Shirt. (c/o) Able was a brand I had heard of before, but never purchased. I have always liked their mission, but I can finally say their product matches their mission quality (paying living wages, providing safe working conditions, etc), as I’ve now tried it. I wear this brown and white striped shirt at least once a week. It’s more pulled together than your average t-shirt and is comfortable. It’s on sale right now for 30% off with discount code MOM30. You can use code LMMENTS15 for 15% off with the bigger sale ends. It’s active all of the time!
