The Link Up: Em’s New Demin Dress She’ll Be Wearing ALL Spring, Mal’s $9 Product To Help You Self-Tan Your Back, And A $13 Countertop Vacuum That’s A GAMECHANGER

Happy Sunday! Hope y’all are hanging in there. Emily has been busier than ever with photoshoots which only means beautiful things for us all to look at in the near future. Also, did you see that the farm has grass?? It’s the small (but also not so small) victories. Ok, ready for some links??

This week’s house tour is that of a young professional couple that really wanted color in their new build home. Michelle Cage and her team created just that! We really love the two working spaces because they really tell a story about each of the homeowners individually. And isn’t that custom walnut tambour wall treatment so good? Go check it all out here!

From Emily: I just got this new denim dress and I might be wearing it all spring out of its sheer comfort and adorableness. It’s one of those dresses you can dress up or down. I actually paired it with some combat boots and it was really cute but it’s equally cute with flip-flops. It’s also super roomy so you can have unlimited burritos and have zero issues:)

From Jess: I have been WAITING for this Spring Designer Collection from Target! FeNoel is where I bought this beautiful swimsuit last year. Their clothes aren’t necessarily affordable…so getting a Target collab was music to my ears!! I also see Rhode on Instagram all the time and love their casual yet bold dresses. Agua Bendita is new to me but if their Target collab is any indication of their style (which of course it is) I am a new fan. I rounded up six of my favorite products but there are so many more. GO check it out!!

Asymmetrical Metallic Cut Out High Leg Cheeky One Piece Swimsuit | Small Crochet Tote Bag | Peony Botanical Print Jumpsuit

Large Lotus Floral Print Rope Tie One Shoulder Mini Dress | Lily Floral Print Underwire Bikini Top + Bottom | Sketch Palm Leaf Print Ruffle Trim Cover Up Dress

From Caitlin: Guys, the all-time greatest summer sandal is back in stock in all sizes and in a bunch of colors! (I feel like most folks will be able to guess which ones I’m talking about – they’re real popular in the comments every year, too. Did you get it right?!) ANYWAY. I own these in black and white, Brenda owns them in silver, Dennis owns them in olive – they’re great for everyone and every style, supremely comfortable, and they last FOREVER (I’ve had mine for…7 years? And honestly, at only $49 bucks, they may be the best shoe investment I’ve made). I always find that they run out of stock at the beginning of the summer (at least in 9.5s/10s!) so run, don’t walk, if you need a new pair! I just bought the candy pink color and I CAN’T WAIT to get them:)

Speaking of shoes, did y’all see that Joy (of OhJoy!) has a shoe line with Rockport?! It’s pretty, happy, and perfect for this spring and summer. Congrats Joy!

From Mallory: It’s almost (self) tan season!! And boy do I have some fun fresh new products to share with you!!! We all know by now Emily’s favorite self-tanner, but does anyone else struggle to apply self-tanner to your back? Same. Enter this tanning mitt set. I just purchased this set because it comes with a back tanning applicator that’s a stretchy long piece you can rub side to side on your back. I cannot wait to use it because I think it’s going to really change the game for me. Also, I found this product that I continue to get marketed to (this is the video that sold me) and it’s honestly great for doing some touch-up tanning on the chest area or arms if you’re wearing some warm weather clothing. It doesn’t smell and it dries SO FAST which is awesome. Note it’s not for your entire body because it’s a lil thicker than normal tanning mouse but it does a really good job of bronzing me up a bit. I hear a lot of people use it on their face as a semi-permanent bronzer so they don’t have to put on makeup every day which I haven’t tried but sounds genius. This is the brush I use it with btw and it’s awesome. Happy tanning friends 🙂

From Arlyn: I could be wrong, but I don’t remember so.many.crumbs. being EVERYWHERE at all times before my daughter was born. Every time I turn around, more crumbs. Are they falling from the ceiling? I’d alternate between sweeping them into my hands (which doesn’t work when said hands are covered in yogurt or spaghetti sauce from feeding my girl), or grabbing yet another paper towel. And then I leveled up my life with…a countertop vacuum. I’m not talking about a dust buster but rather a 3″x3″ handheld countertop vacuum. It’s actually been a game changer for quick clean-ups in the kitchen, the dining table, and even our desks. Best $13 I’ve spent in a handful of months by far. 

We are pretty freaking excited about the Christian Siriano x Sherwin-Williams collab! It’s chic, earthy, and super approachable. Plus you can order peel & stick kits!

From Ryann: After years of searching, I think I found the perfect bikini bottoms for me. They are high cut on the legs so they sit above the hip and hug my curves in such a nice way – plus the very cheeky bottom is reallyyy flattering. As a curvy size 12/14 gal, I am so happy I found this brand because they are actually true to size which is a rarity when it comes to swimsuits. I will 100% be buying from them again!

From Albie: To know me is to know I love my teas! I came across Olivia Amitrano a few years back — before she had teas — and began following her for her wellness content. Now she has teas and they are staples in my daily tea routine. Yes… I have a tea routine. I decided to start with her bundle to see which ones would be the best for my needs & to be honest, there isn’t a single one I don’t drink. My favorites are Open Heart, Healer, and Right Mind. 

That’s it from us today. Have a good and safe rest of your weekend. xx
