Happy June, everyone! I’m so excited for the month ahead. After a very long spring and a lot of cooking, photographing, and editing over the last two months, I’m looking forward to getting organized, cleaning my house, and some fun travel, too! I’m ready to feel put back together after a crazy two months. And I’m so ready for the weather to warm up and the green grass to grow – it’s time!

How about you all? Are you looking forward to anything this month? Will you be traveling this summer? What’s happening? We need to catch up!

I’m heading to Chicago this week for a quick photo shoot and then back home. Hopefully, I can start getting organized and put things back together before heading off on another trip later in the month.

And speaking of summer plans, I know some of you have been asking what’s happening with our renovations? Everything is moving forward! But we do have a slight change of plans in our building schedule. Basically, we just flipped-flopped a few things. I’ll now be staying put in my house for the summer while they start work on the studio in July. Once they finish the studio, they’ll start my house. Then, I’ll bounce over to the studio to live and work until they get my house completed. It’s going to be over a year of renovations, so I’m sure we’re in for a fun ride! But I’m beyond excited to share details along the way and for everything to be completed. It’s going to be worth the wait!

And that’s pretty much it. We have a short Favorite’s post today, but next week I’ll double up on fun things to share! Have the best Sunday!

1. Things iâm loving, wanting, and excited to try.

wantingâ¦

everything in my cart (low)â¦added these Free People Flying Private Flip Flops to my cart. They give designer vibes but are under $50. They would be cute with a small open-weave bag. Oh and! This is a cute Crew-Neck Flag Sweater for the 4th of July!

Last one, I want to order multples of this H&M hoodie. I live in in hoodies and this one is perfect.

listening toâ¦The Truth About Meat & Animal Protein In Our Diets Ft. Robby Sansom & Taylor Collins. This was super interesting. Wether you eat meat or not, this episode has a lot of information regarding our food sources. I’ve also been a fan of For of Nature meats, I buy their ground beef at Whole Foods.

4. Everything Cute From Zara Home.

I think Zara Home is such a hidden gem in the home space. I know everyone goes to Zara for their clothes, but I think Zara Home is their secret gem.

Love these cotton towels with wide strip. They would be cute in a bathroom with theseÂ seagrass baskets, and maybe this pretty striped ceramic vase too! All such cozy home pieces.

For the kitchen, I love these dotted glass tumblers and hammered glass pitcher. Oh, and this terracotta tableware is pretty for summer entertaining. I’d style it with this rattan tray. These garden kitchen towels are cute too!

For outside, I want to order this fun and cute umbrella stand.
