Jimmy Fairly Sunglasses

Josie Girl Leave a Comment

When I was in Paris, one of my favorite items I purchased was a pair of sunglasses from Jimmy Fairly. Jimmy Fairly is the Parisian equivalent to Warby Parker — stylish, trendy, current glasses and sunglasses at reasonable price points. I could have bought so many of them but landed on one pair — The Napoli. And they just opened their first USA store in NYC so I can’t wait to try more of them on!

Amazon Socks

Josie Girl Leave a Comment

I know that this is weird, but I discovered the best socks on Amazon, and I need to share them with you. 10 socks for less than 25 dollars. Not only is the price amazing (some times socks cost 25 dollars per PAIR!!! This is 10 pairs for 25 dollars!!!), but the socks themselves are the perfect sock. The colors, the fit, the comfort, the appropriate thickness — they check every box. Every time I reach for a pair of socks in my (unorganized) sock bin, I hope to grab one of these pairs. They are hands down the best socks.

 

Technically, they are men’s socks, but they are a perfect fit for men and women! I love the Fall color scheme of them, too.

Anthropologie Reading Glasses

Spotted on one of my favorite style Instagram friends, I asked immediately where her reading glasses were from. Thankfully, they were affordable, in stock, and OH SO CUTE! Reading glasses from Anthropologie! WHO KNEW????

 

Ok, I might not look cute, but I love that they are different. AND THEY ARE 35 dollars!!!! I am so blind (read old) now that I need pairs in my bags because I can’t read anything anywhere.

Zara Home

I love Zara — both the adult and kids’ clothes are my go tos for shopping. And now, I am in love with Zara Home. Although there are no stores currently in the United States, Zara Home is all over Europe and online. Think home decor at Zara prices — a win win for everyone! They have a terrific selection of linens, bedding, tabletop, accessories, and more. Recently, on my quick trip to Paris, I went in and oohed and ahhed at the selection (and prices).

Zara Leopard Shoes

Josie Girl 12 Comments

I am a huge fan of slip-on comfortable shoes that are hip and easy to walk in. And these Zara Leopard shoes check off the boxes. These flat leather ankle boots are made out of natural cowhide with elastic side panels and white rubber soles. They are quick to slip on, flat to run a marathon with, and a la mode en ce moment. I imagine that my Parisian Girl Crushes are wearing them now, too.

Indian Quilts

Josie Girl 9 Comments

Probably the best 80 dollars (times 2, so 160 total) I have spent recently were on these handmade Indian coverlets for twin beds. Thanks to Etsy and Rajasthan Royals, we now are proud owners of two vibrant, colorful, 100% cotton covers for two twin beds.

Uniqlo / Suno

Josie Girl 6 Comments

I love when designers collaborate with retailers to create special capsule collections, so when I found out that two of my favorite stores were working together to create a rad summer line, I ran IN THE RAIN to check it out. (Yep, used the word ‘rad.’) And hallelujah, it was worth it, because what I found was soooo beyond rad.

Suno, a funky, artsy, print and pattern centric clothing line created by Max Osterweis and Erin Beatty in 2008, teamed up with Uniqlo to create an inexpensive, colorful, and cool collection from May 20th (I am late) until the end of August. Pretty, floral, different, and affordable.

Birds view....not as fun to take these pictures when I am not pregnant, but a fun view from up top wearing these patterns together.
