Two Finds I’m Loving Right Now (and Why You Might Too)

Let’s be honest: not every purchase sparks joy at first glance. Some—like a humble hair elastic—fly under the radar until you realize they’re secretly your everyday MVP. Others, like the perfect summer dress, take a little patience and payoff. Here are two recent finds I’m genuinely excited about and think you might love too:

Eco-Friendly Nylon Elastics, Blush

Okay, I get it—hair ties don’t scream “thrilling buy,” but hear me out. I’ve tried every option under the sun. Silk ones that slip out. Tight ones that snap. And somehow, the supposedly “gentle” ones that still leave a kink in your hair by noon.

These blush-colored nylon elastics? Total game-changers. They somehow walk the line between the functionality of a hair tie and the comfort of a scrunchie—holding firm without tugging or sliding. Whether I’m tossing my hair into a ponytail during a workout or pulling it back for a casual dinner, they stay put without digging in or feeling too tight.

They’re also versatile depending on how much hair you have—stretchy enough to loop as needed, but resilient enough to hold everything in place. And the best part? They’re eco-friendly, made from recycled materials. I didn’t even realize that bonus until after my second set arrived (yes, Sloan keeps “borrowing” mine). Cute, comfy, sustainable—what more could you want from a hair tie?

Theory Drape-Back Dress in Good Linen

I’ve had my eye on this white Theory dress for months. And this past weekend, I finally grabbed it at 20% off—worth the wait. My friend Cristina has the longer black version, and every time she wears it, I think, Why don’t I own that already?

Now that I do, I’m obsessed with its clean, simple lines and understated elegance. The design is minimal yet so flattering, and it feels like one of those pieces you could wear just about anywhere. The linen blend has the tiniest bit of stretch, which means it’s structured enough to keep its shape while still being breathable (and super comfy) for summer.

It’s one of those no-effort-needed dresses I plan on styling with studded leather sandals, oversized black sunglasses, and gold hoops—easy, elevated, and cool in every sense. Plus, the draped back adds just enough interest to make it feel special without going overboard.

Final Thoughts

I didn’t expect to be swooning over a set of hair ties or a dress I waited months to buy, but both feel like smart, stylish wins. Whether you’re revamping your summer wardrobe or just looking for little everyday upgrades, these are two small-but-mighty pieces that punch above their weight.
