In recently years I’m more and more drawn to vintage and antique home decor finds. I love the unmatched character you get with something older. I have some great antique stores near me but I also love to shop for vintage and antique items online. I feel like I can look for specific items easier online, and I can price compare more easily. Below are some vintage and antique items I’ve found online.

Book Set This book set is from the late 19th century and stunning! I know antique books can be controversial.. and while I personally decorate with books I do actually read, I also understand some people are lucky enough to have large home libraries and need to add books they haven’t read/don’t plan on reading. I also really appreciate the look and smell of an old book. In general the best deals on old books are from estate sales but I don’t find a lot of estate sales near me and I know I’m not the only one.

Sterling Silver Candy Coupe Set I’ve been wanting a sterling silver candy coupe for a while now. I really just want one otherwise I’d pull the trigger on this set. This is a really good price point. I’ve seen single ones that sell for more than this set.

Swan Planter I recently bought a swan planter nearly identical to this. The only difference between the one I have and this one is that the one I bought has an iridescent finish to it. I currently have it on our primary bathroom counter to store my cats duck toys he likes to play with in our sinks. This would be great to store bath bombs, plant a small batch of herbs, or to use as a catchall bowl. I love how whimsical this item is.

Basket This basket is from the late 19th century so it has lived a whole life before us. I never really considered buying an antique basket before but I recently learned they can be sanitized. Be careful cleaning this one since it’s so old. I love the idea of buying an antique basket because despite their age they are probably better quality than any new basket.

Crystal Vase One of the items on my antique wishlist is a crystal vase similar to this one but I specifically want a Waterford one. New crystal vases are absurdly overpriced so a vintage or antique one is definitely the way to go.

Puppy Bookends I love looking for antique bookends because you can find some really unique ones like these precious puppies.

I always love to share seasonal favorites because it makes me look back on the season so far, and reflect not just on the material things I have enjoyed. However, I do always notice some materialistic things that I have been loving. Below are the things I’ve been loving so far this season.

Cooling Sunscreen This is one of the sunscreens I bought while we were in Korea earlier this year. I recently started using this sunscreen on my body. I typically don’t like “cooling” products because they often give me more of a burning feeling initially. This is the first cooling product that actually feels cooling (it is a very mild cooling sensation) and doesn’t have that menthol burn. It also just feels like a really elegant formula for sunscreen and hydrating. I appreciate it doesn’t have a strong scent.

Evil Eye Coasters I got a set of these evil eye coasters a few months ago. I never thought coasters could be so gorgeous and make a statement but these do.

The Hotel Nantucket by Elin Hilderbrand This is the first time I’ve read a book by Elin Hilderbrand, and I’ll definitely be reading more books written by her in the future. I’ll share a full review of this book when I review all the books I’ve read this summer but this is my favorite one so far. It’s the perfect summertime beach read.

Sarah Flint Sandals I got these sandals Memorial Day Weekend and have worn them at least once a week since then, which is saying a lot since I don’t leave the house much! These sandals look good with nearly all my summer clothes. These are a bit more premium and the price reflects that but Sarah Flint has regular sales and sales that are actually worth shopping because it usually is a significant savings.

Hat My husband got me this hat for my birthday back in June and I have been wearing it nonstop since then. I love a boater style hat because I find it chic while also being practical because it provides extra sun protection.

Yesterday I shared some of the things I ordered from the Amazon sale as well as some other great deals I found. The sale ends later today and I found some more great finds I want to share, some of which I placed an order for myself.

Body Wash (set of 2 is 25% off) This is my all time favorite body wash. It’s deeply hydrating and gentle enough when I have eczema.

Liquid IV Sugar Free Set (30% off) I like to drink Liquid IV before or after a workout sometimes and I always like to have it on hand when I’m sick.

Churu Cat Treats (24% off) My cat, Anthony Bourdain, loves these treats. I stocked up!

Bamboo Frame (20% off) This frame was part of my order. I want to add some art to our primary bathroom and I love the look of this frame. I’m a bit skeptical because it’s acrylic instead of glass but it would be easy to swap out for glass.

MET Coffee Table Book (52% off) This is technically not a Prime Day Deal but it is on sale. I love having coffee table books from places my husband and I have been and this is a great addition.

Bum Bum Cream (15% off) I love this cream, especially when my skin is dry in the winter. This is extremely hydrating. If you are sensitive to scent I suggest passing on this because it has a very intense smell and is sweet.

Amazon Prime Day started today and ends tomorrow. There are tons of great deals, it can be overwhelming to sort through. Below are some of the best deals I’ve found on stuff I love and own, as well as what I ordered so far. The sale is known for changing pricing throughout the sale period as well as staggering sales so what might be on sale now might not be on sale tomorrow. The pricing below is based on the price of the item at the time of publishing this post, it is likely to change over the course of the sale period.

Laneige Lip Mask (currently 20% off) This is one of my favorite lip masks. I primarily use this one at night.

PCA Lip Serum (currently 20% off) My other favorite lip treatment- I primarily use this one during the day.

Le Creuset Dutch Oven (currently 35% off for the cerise color) Le Creuset products are incredible quality.

Le Creuset Stockpot (currently 20% off) Another great Le Creuset item and soup season is nearly here so now is a great time to buy a stockpot if you don’t already have one.

Oral B Toothbrush (currently 30% off) The toothbrush I use is included in the sale. I truly cannot live without an Oral B toothbrush. I had one that broke the day before we were leaving for our wedding so my husband had to make an emergency run to get me a new one because I refuse to use any other toothbrush…my teeth just won’t feel clean.

KitchenAid Mixer (currently 22% off) Baking season is nearly here so if you have been wanting a KitchenAid Mixer now is a great time to buy it. This is a purchase that will last a lifetime.

What I have purchased (so far)…

Toothbrush Heads (currently 42% off) These are absurdly overpriced IMO so I always stock up when they go on sale (which is rare).

Cat Toy (currently 32% off) Anthony has been into hunting toys so I got this for him.

Tinted Sunscreen (currently 20% off) This sunscreen is very hydrating and doesn’t pill under makeup.

Band-Aid Set (currently 38% off) This might seem like an excessive amount of band-aids but I bought a pack of 200 last time and it lasted 2 years…I also have a kitten so we are currently using lots of band-aids.

Sunscreen (currently 20% off) I’ve been wanting to try this sunscreen for my body for a while. I tried looking for it while we were in Korea and couldn’t find it but luckily Amazon sells it. It’s perfect timing because I’m about to run out of the other sunscreen I’ve been using for my body.

It’s swimwear season and I have scoured the internet to find the best swimwear this year. Below are my favorite swimsuits I found. The swimwear below includes a couple of plus size options as well as standard sizing.

Floral Print Pattern Top & Bottom I love the floral pattern on this swimsuit and the tie straps on the top.

Coral One-Piece Coral is a color I think looks incredibly flattering on more skin tones than most people realize. This has a demi-cup so it offers some support. This is only available in plus size.

Yellow One-Piece I picked this one because I love a yellow swimsuit but it comes in 15 (!) different colors/patterns.

Blue Floral Applique Top & Bottom This is from one of my favorite swimwear brands. They design beautiful swimwear that is good quality and really stays in place so you don’t have to worry about wardrobe malfunctions. From my experience this swimwear brand tends to run small so make sure you check the size guide and size up if you are between sizes.

Stripe and Lace Top & Bottom I love the combination of stripes and lace on this set. This set comes in both standard and plus sizes.
