Our Favorite Purchases Lately – Living in Yellow
It’s no secret, we’re frequent shoppers here at LIY, but today we’re sharing our favorite purchases we’ve made lately. From shorts and dresses to ball pumps and sneakers, here’s what we’ve loved the most!
Shorts [true to size, wearing in small] // LOFT Tee [oversized fit, wearing in small] // Dolce Vita Sandals [size up .5]
For under $20, you can’t beat these linen-blend shorts from Target! Give me a pull-on waist, a bright fun color for summer, and nice deep pockets and I’m set! Lightweight, airy, and the perfect shorts to pair with a fun statement tee!
Horse Racing Game
Oh my, FUN. We just got this horse racing game in after hearing about it from friends, and wow – it does not disappoint. We busted this out this past weekend when we had a houseful of friends over and we couldn’t stop playing it — to make it even more intense, play with quarters and you’ll be cheering for your horses louder than you do on Derby Day 😉 Such a fun gift to give as well!
Dress [LIYXSPANX for 10% off, true to size, wearing in small] // Heels [true to size] // Dolce Vita Sneakers [true to size]
Just when I thought I couldn’t love SPANX more, they go and release this dress in their magical AirEssentials fabric. Friends, this dress feels like a dream [a really good one, not one of those scary nightmares]. It’s super soft and I love that you can dress up or down this style giving it max versatility! Bonus: Use code LIYXSPANX for 10% off your order!
Osea Undaria Algae Body Oil
I just started using this body oil a few weeks ago, and friends, I LOVE it. It’s used to hydrate and firm the skin in a natural way, and add a subtle glow! I typically apply it fresh out of the shower while my skin is still damp, and allow the oil to set while I get ready!
Old Navy Linen Pants [true to size, wearing L] // Tube Top [TTS, wearing large]
Claire here! I tried 4 different linen pants to find the perfect pair this season, and this $20 option from Old Navy was my fav! They’re available in several more colors here and come in Petite, Regular, and Tall. For reference, I’m usually between a M-L and wear these in size large regular length for 5’5″!
Button Down Top [sized up for an oversized look, wearing large] // Pull-On Shorts [size down if in between, wearing medium] // Tube Top [TTS, wearing large]
Keeping the easy-breezy linen looks rolling! I picked up this set from Target and wore it on repeat during vacation. You can wear the pieces together, separately, for a casual look or even beach cover-up! Available in a ton of colors & patterns! For reference, I found the shorts to run large. I exchanged my size larges for a medium!
Medicated Gel Cleanser // Liquid Exfoliant // Reinol Serum
Jen here, turning 44 oh-so-soon! EEK! I’m so excited to share today these 3 miracle workers! If you suffer from adult acne or breakouts from time to time this 3 step system has done wonders for my skin! The medicated gel cleanser is tough enough to keep the acne in control yet so gentle on my skin! The exfoliant really keeps my skin smooth and balanced while unclogging my pores and the retinol serum is just amazing in ALL SHE DOES! Honestly my skin has never looked better since introducing all three of these into play! I also follow up with this day and night moisturizer!
Gotie Laser Cut Studded Thong Sandal [true to size]
Meet the Miller’s look-a-likes for only $19.99! These are SO comfortable and will get so much use this Summer! Also available in black and white, perfect Summer Sandal Staple to add to your closet!
Nike Air Max 90 Futura Sneakers [TTS]
I’ve become obsessed with sneakers recently and this NEW pair is so dang comfy, lightweight and I love the multiple colors!
Athleta Trekkie Joggers [TTS]
These JUST arrived and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!! This will be the third pair of these I own and the most comfortable throw on and go, mom life pants! And this color is even prettier in person!!
Electric Ball Pump
The most random but necessary Amazon purchase I’ve made… I swear the amount of basketball, football and volleyballs in our house that are deflated is WAY too many! We used this yesterday and I was so impressed! Push of a button and voila, instantly inflated balls!! My kids were pumped [get it lol] for this purchase!
Seamless Thongs [size up if in between]
Love Skimms and don’t love the price? I got you. These Amazon thongs just arrived and after a quick test-drive, confirmed, I love ’em!
LMNT Electrolyte Drink Mix
I was team Liquid IV for the past few years….. until about a week ago, when I discovered LMNT! No sugar, but they are salty – like literally, taste salty. According to Google [ha!] this is supposed to be better for you than the sugar! BUT surprisingly…. I LOVE the taste with the fruit and salt combos! I’m officially converted!
Yes, I already save a ton of money by purchasing press-on nails rather than going to the salon all the time – but I also can’t bring myself to throw them away after 1 manicure when there’s 20 or so nails left in that color. I had boxes piling up in my bathroom. Earlier this week I purchased this organizer and can I just say WOW I love this whole setup!! I labeled each box with the sizes marked on the nails, and was easily able to pull out the ones I needed to put together a cute mix-and-match nail set quickly and without spilling boxes all over the floor as I pulled them out!
I tried these pants on yesterday that a friend had ordered, and immediately ordered 2 pair for myself! They’re SO comfy and breezy, and perfect for my 5’4 height! I wear them in L which is true to size for me (typically a size 10/12 in jeans).
