The May Five

Back with another five things I loved this past month. (ALSO HOW IN THE WORLD IS IT JUNE?)

1.) I passed the NCSA CPT exam!
I know I briefly mentioned this news two weeks ago, but it was definitely a highlight of May. I’m happy to be certified and VERY happy to be done studying 🙂

2.) The AGOLDE denim shorts
In full transparency, I did not pay anywhere near full price for these. I have an on-going collaboration with ShopBop, so I saved up some of my credit to use. That being said, I absolutely love them. I’ve worn them every weekend its been warm enough and will be packing them for California this weekend.

3.) Who Thought This Was a Good Idea?: And Other Questions You Should Have Answers to When You Work in the White House

I flew through this book that came recommended to me from Devin. It’s a quick and interesting read, and I learned so much about the White House and all the different staffers that help keep it running smoothly. Highly recommend!

4.) Hair Accessories!
I love that all types of hair accessories are so popular right now; headbands and scarves are my favorite way to keep my day 3 curls looking fun + fresh. They’re also an affordable way to spice up items you already own! I purchased the H&M one below in March while in DC, and I’ve already worn it 10+ times. I love tying them around a high or low bun as well.

5.) Farm Rio is available in the US!
Farm Rio is a unique, vibrant Brazilian brand that became available in the US this spring. Their collections are colorful, playful and if I could afford to dress in Farm Rio every day this summer I would 100% do it. I mean, just look at the fringe and bead details on this toucan print wrap dress…

That’s all I have for today, but I’d love if you shared anything you loved in May!
Thanks for stopping by.
