SUSTAINABLE AFFORDABLE SUMMER STAPLES

Back again to share more budget-friendly and size inclusive style from one of my favorite price-conscious brands, Free Assembly. I feel very strongly that looking and feeling great in your clothes doesn't have to mean breaking the bank and should be accessible regardless of size. Want to know what’s even better? With Walmart’s Deals for Days sale, you can now shop these styles for even less.

A bodysuit - I purchased this bodysuit in black and love it! The fabric is stretchy and comfortable but not too thin. The cap sleeve detail makes it just dressy enough to pair with a skirt or denim for a night out or just throw it on with your favorite pair of denim shorts. Right now this style is on sale for $10 and comes in 5 other colors, like this chalk and I also love this dried olive color.

The perfect tee - when I say perfect I mean PERFECT. This one has just the right amount of slouch, a great neckline, and the quality is so great you won’t believe it was $12. PS The β€œclaw” color is an amazing creamy dreamy shade that is SO hard to find. TRUST ME! * This tee runs TTS

A maxi dress - This easy breezy maxi dress is perfect for warm days and nights. Love it in the back or white and for $39. *Runs TTS

Why Free Assembly? I was so excited to first introduce you to Free Assembly a few months ago for a couple of reasons. Not only is the line good-looking and affordable, they are also committed to sustainability. Most of their cotton is organic, which avoids fertilizers and pesticides. These 90’s style jeans for example are made up of 99% organic cotton and 1% elastane. Additionally, their denim is produced in LEED certified facilities that aim to protect the environment and are also Fair Trade certified. Free Assembly is also size inclusive and most items are available up to a size 24.

Elle - How Amanda Kloots Faced Modern Grief. Tens of thousands of followers witnessed the fitness entrepreneur's Instagram dispatches documenting the three-month hospitalization and eventual death of her husband, actor Nick Cordero. Is this how we mourn now?

House & Garden - The founder of The White Company's harmonious country garden. A restful palette was a priority for The White Company’s founder Chrissie Rucker in the design of the immaculate garden of her house in Buckinghamshire, which is filled with perennials and grasses in shades of white and green.

make - Banana Bread Porridge Bowl. I’ve shared this one before but it is so delicious and filling and EASY to make! I top it with my favorite nut butter and if I have them, cacao nibs.

watch - Lupin season 2 is here! Loved the first one and just started watching this highly anticipated follow-up.

wear - My go-to wide leg denim. Loving this popular again style but not sure where to start? This pair from re/done is a great fit, not too tight, flattering on the bum, and the perfect summer hue of blue. This pair from Veronica Beard is insanely comfortable (almost like wearing sweatpants). The fabric is ultra lightweight and soft and also the perfect warm weather shade.

camping - Zara Home’s new camping collection for kids is so adorable! Just ordered this folding chair for the boys to use at home and on the go!

National Geographic - The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge just got a reprieveβ€”but it’s not safe yet. The U.S. recently announced it would suspend oil and gas leases in a pristine Alaskan ecosystem. But many environmental battles await the million-acre refuge.

The New York Times - Kate Winslet Has No Filter. The star of β€˜Mare of Easttown’ is back on the sides of buses. Without airbrushing.

Veranda - Is the French Riviera's Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc the Most Iconic Hotel of All-Time? The glamorous destination is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. While there are many hotels that have become as iconic as their celebrity, politician, and socialite patrons, none quite have the star power of Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France.

Architectural Digest - Two Leading Air Travel Companies Team Up to (Finally!) Deliver Urban Air Taxis. Come 2026, the U.S. and U.K. will be the first to experience Eve, an innovative on-demand aircraft.

play - I loved summer nights as a kid…BBQ’s, staying up past our bedtime catching lightening bugs, and I’ll never forget throwing around a frisbee or playing badminton with my dad and sister. Most of the time we didn’t even have a net up! Check out this pretty set and here is a sportier version (which includes the net) from Target.

beach - EEEK! Found: my rattan beach chair is back in-stock, available, and from an β€œeasy to order from” website! If you were following along last Summer this is huge news because these pretty beach/garden loungers were impossible to find in the US and were only shipping from Australia last year. Yippee!

make - Sheet Pan Haddock with Zucchini, Shallots, and Salsa Verde. I made this recipe last night and it was so delicious and easy! Make a big batch of brown rice on the side!
