LINK-END ROUND-UP: June 9, 2023 | STAINED COUTURE

Happy Friday! It’s not officially summer, but the weather has definitely been feeling like it’s here. I’m not complaing, because it’s actually encouraging me to finally devote the time to create my summer wardrobe. I’m leaning toward and elevated everyday casual feminine look. Not sure how that’ going to look, but I’m starting to pin looks.

My plans for this weekend includes attending my best friend’s baby shower, which is so exciting. I didn’t get to go to her last one, because her daugter decide to come on the day of the shower. What an insane day was, but this one seems like it’s going the chill. The theme is  “groovy baby” which is all the 70s retro vibes. So, me and curly fro will be in theme. 🙂 Unfortunately, I feel like the baby shower is going to take all my energy for the weekend. So, I’m probably going to lay for the rest of the weekend after that.

As usual, I hope you have a great weekend and please check out the reads in this week’s Link-End Round-UP.

BEACH TOTES: Summer 2023

BEACH TOTES: Summer 2023 | STAINED COUTURE

As I mentioned, I’m currently planning a beach vacation for late summer. This weekend, I did square away the room and rental car, which has me excited to go even more. However, now it’s time to start figuring out everything I need. Honestly, I think I have enough clothes, because I plan to loaf in shorts and bathing suits.

I wasn’t prepared the last time I went to the beach. It was a last minute invite and I didn’t have time to plan. Plus, I didn’t think that I would enjoy being on the beach for too long, because I don’t like heat. However, I was really wrong and it was so relaxing and perfectly warm. So, I plan to be laid out on the beach for an extended amount of time this time and know that I will need a beach bag.

You will need a beach tote to carry your essentials, such as towel, phone and summer books. Check out these fun beach totes for everyone.

LUST-HAVE LIST: June 2023

Happy June! Honestly, I feel bad that I only posted a couple of times last month. However, work was working me, which was also not  leaving me room to feel creative. It was definitely weird to not post, but I definitely needed to focus on work and me. No regrets.

Well, it’s technically not summer, but Memorial Day weekend is usually the kick off. I’ve already started to plan a beach vacation for late summer and that’s been a task in itself. Planning and saving is the most adulting thing you have to do at times. Still, it’s for a beach vacation and it’s the motivation I need right now.

While I continue to work on my work/life balance, check out this month’s Lust-Have List.

LUST-HAVE LIST: June 2023

  • Clear Link Slide Sandals – I have a beach vacation planned for August and these slides will perfect for shorts and dresses.
  • Little Mermaid SPF 30 Black Girl Sunscreen – I’m a Black Girl Sunscreen and buy it all the time. However, I have to get this limited edition Little Mermaid tube, because I’m a sucker for packing and The Little Mermaid.
  • Flared leg blue jeans – I’v been looking for a pair of not too wide leg flared jeans with some distressment at the knees. I can’t the right pair and fit, which means I will be making them. This pair from ASOS has the perfect rinse, shape, and rise. I will just do the distressing myself. 🙂
  • Lume Cream Deodorant – My BFF has been raving about Lume for a minute and I’m finally ready to give it a try. I’m intrigued, because it’s an all over deodorant and I’ve heard great reviews.
  • FENTY Match Stick Cheek and Lip Stick – I’m one of the late bird to the FENTY party, but I’ve been loving the products that I’ve tried. Also, I love cheek + lips products and this one universally flatters every complexion. Science.  So, I’m thinking about picking this up on my next Sephora trip.
  • CZ Tennis Bracelets Set – For the past few months, I’ve been thinking about investing in a diamond tennis bracelet. However, I want to test the look put with a CZ version first. This one comes in a set with an adjustable one and for under $20. l love a good deal!
