Rainbow sequins for summer, the face tape I'm road-testing, and one book I can't put down.

Julia’s Weekly Whims, Vol. 62

We've been soaking up all the sun in Mexico this week. Here's what's been catching my eye:

Rainbow Sequins for Summer

I love the almost watercolor-like effect of these rainbow sequins. I keep going back and forth between the mini dress or the mini skirt — either way, I’m fairly certain one of them is coming with me on our big summer trip.

Cuup x Eliou

Two brands I love. Cuup makes the most comfortable bras and underwear in the prettiest colors — the ones I reach for whenever something sheer needs the right base, and Eliou makes the best summer-inspired jewelry. So this collaboration is totally up my alley! I got the scoop top and cheeky bottoms.

A Stone Belt

I came across this belt that doubles as a necklace, and instantly added it to cart. Judey Studio on Etsy does an equally fun version. Picturing it with a pair of wide-leg jeans and a tank for summer.

Emanuele Pantanella Clutches

True collector’s pieces. On my wishlist in particular are the Sifnos and the Apamea clutch. With novelty clutches everywhere right now, these feel one-of-a-kind in a different way — meant to be passed down rather than aged out.

An Easy Wrap Dress

Checks off everything I look for in a summer dress: a pretty print, breathable and lightweight, a wrap silhouette, and a piece you can throw on without thinking. Already pairing it in my head with a basket tote and a flat sandal.

What I’m Reading

The Force of Such Beauty. I’m 60% through and it’s already one of my favorite books I’ve read in ages. I can’t put it down! It’s been in my beach bag every day of this trip.

Trying Out

Peter Thomas Roth Peptide Overnight Face and Eye Tape. I’ll report back if it earns a regular spot in my rotation!

The Under $30 Beaded Bag I’m Carrying

Beaded bags are having a moment, and this one, which I own and actually packed with me on our trip, is a great option under $30. One of those unexpected finds that I keep reaching for!

On My Mind, Jewelry Edition

Briony Raymond, a much-loved jeweler based in New York, is someone whose work I’ve long admired. Two favorites from her collection: these fan-inspired studs and these scattered diamond hoops. Not to be missed is her breathtaking assortment of estate jewels.
