Happy, happy Friday friends! Yesterday & today I have been participating in #rsthecon which is rewardStyle (they own LiketoKnow.it)’s conference that happens every year. It was supposed to be back in April, but was cancelled & moved to August & made to be virtual. It’s actually really cool because usually it’s open to 200 of the top performing influencers & now thousands are able to attend virtually. It’s always motivating & a good learning experience, so I enjoy it. The part I enjoy most is seeing all of my friends I don’t get to see too often, but that will make it all the more better when we do get to see each other again one day! Anyways, since it’s Friday, that means it is time for another edition of The Weekly Lo Down! This has become so much fun for me to do each week for you all & I know it’s a fav for so many of you because of all of the info in it. I’ve got my favorite internet finds from the week, weekend deals/sales, discount codes, recent blog posts, & a charity to share. Let’s jump in!
The Weekly Lo Down
I always love to grab a few new pairs of good denim this time of year. You really can’t wear them in Texas in the summer so I miss them. I’m eying this pair, this pair, & this pair.
Just got in these new joggers & this new matching zip up that I have been living in all week. Love that you can style the pieces together or separate.
I pulled the trigger on a few pairs of booties & am already saving so many more. They are hands down my favorite thing to shop for when it starts to get cooler! I love this pair as a splurgeworthy option (I get a pair of her boots every year or two & they hold up FOREVER & are worth every penny when you consider cost per wear or CPW). This pair is on sale & so cute & also love these for when it’s colder.
I can’t stop buying cute loungewear. I just ordered this sweatshirt top & these shorts (also have a matching pant) & I love this sweatshirt & the matching shorts, too.
I splurged on a pair of new designer sneakers I’ve been wanting forever in honor of one month of being 100% self-employed (see my post on when I quit my job for more). I found them here on eBay for less if you all interested! I sized down a 1/2 size. See my little video on Instagram REELS for more.
There is a Sephora sale happening right now! If you need to stock up on anything or have anything new you want to try, now is the time. See all of my picks HERE.
I found these perfect splurgeworthy denim shorts that I can’t stop thinking about. Is it too late in the year to buy a new pair?!
The most perfect faux leather shorts were found & immediately added to my cart. I’m also adding this sherpa bomber & this plaid dress.
I found this face mask that I thought was the cutest one yet. I rounded up a ton of other cute face masks if you’re in the market for some! We’ll be wearing them indefinitely, so why not make ‘um cute, right?!

Share the Love
This week’s ‘Share the Love’ is from my Change with Me post with my ongoing efforts to support the BLM movement. It is Reclaim the Block, which is an organization that was really brought to light after the horrible murder of George Floyd.Reclaim the Block began in 2018 and organizes Minneapolis community and city council members to move money from the police department into other areas of the city’s budget that truly promote community health and safety. We believe health, safety and resiliency exist without police of any kind. We organize around policies that strengthen community-led safety initiatives and reduce reliance on police departments. We do not believe that increased regulation of or public engagement with the police will lead to safer communities, as community testimony and documented police conduct suggest otherwise.They have now asked that if anyone wishes to support their work, that you instead give to one of the groups on this list.
I hope you all enjoyed this week’s edition of The Weekly Lo Down! I am coming off a few days of the virtual rewardStyle conference & am so excited with all the ideas going around in my head for you all going forward! I love any new time to get inspired, extra motivated, & to really change things up for the better. In the mean time, I hope you all have a wonderful, safe, & rejuvenating weekend. XO
Thanks for the links! Have a great weekend! ❤️✨
