Hi, friends, and welcome back to stylishly good vibes! You already know what time it is—Top Picks time! The best time of the month, where I share all my favorite finds of the moment.
Let’s get started!
Gola Sneakers
I’m honestly shocked more people aren’t talking about these sneakers. I’ve never been an Adidas Gazelles or Sambas girl (Stan Smiths ONLY!), but I think Gola far surpasses them in both comfort and cuteness. I’m on my second pair of Golas, and I feel like I’ll be rebuying my Hawks for life. They’re comfy for long walks, easy to dress up or down, and perfect for everyday wear.
A little heads-up though: if you have wide feet, they might not be your best bet. I didn’t even realize this until I recommended them to a friend with wider feet, and she wasn’t a fan. But, like anything, take what works for you and leave what doesn’t!
Like I said, the Gola Hawk Sneakers are my OGs, but I also love the Grand Slam style too.
Fiona Beaded Coin Purse
The beaded coin purses from Anthropologie are unbeatable. I’m a forever stan! I had my last one for over seven years—it never came apart and not a single bead fell off. It was finally time for a new one though, so I treated myself to this adorable red and pink floral one. I use it whenever I don’t want to bring my full wallet. It fits a few cards and my Marin lip glosses, so basically everything I need for a day or night out!
Briotech Hypochlorous Spray
Not the most glamorous pick, but this has made such a difference in my skincare routine. As someone who’s dealt with problematic skin, I’m hyper-aware of how products (and the time of the month) can affect my skin’s clarity. I added this spray to my routine about six months ago and my skin has never been clearer.
Hypochlorous acid has anti-inflammatory properties and works as a mild antiseptic—perfect for acne-prone skin.
How I Use It: Every morning, I spray a cotton pad and wipe my face with this instead of using a cleanser. The key is letting your face dry completely before moving on with the rest of your routine. I also spritz my face after a workout or whenever I’ve been super sweaty.
The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%
Back when I was using Curology, my formula had azelaic acid, so when I stopped, I knew I needed this powerhouse ingredient back in my routine. I’ve been working to improve the skin texture on my forehead and temples, and azelaic acid is amazing for that. It’s less likely to irritate compared to other acids, but still helps with exfoliation and brightening.
How I Use It: I haven’t had any dryness with this formula. I alternate it with my retinol every other night, which I think helps a lot with avoiding irritation. Paired with the Briotech spray, these two have really transformed my skin!
Meller Zala Sunglasses
I came across an ad for Meller sunglasses on Instagram about two years ago, and now I’m obsessed. It’s a Spanish brand with super affordable polarized sunglasses. I own three pairs (and counting!), and they have so many fun styles. They usually run a 2-for-$65 deal, which is perfect if you need cute, high-quality shades without breaking the bank.
I love my Ray-Bans as much as anyone, but it’s nice to have other go-to pairs that you wouldn’t be completely devastated if you lost.
Well, that’s all I have for you this month!
Until next time!
