Paris' Recommends

a few of my summer favorites

Hi everyone, I’m Paris and I work as our office manager here at W Design. I’m originally from Southern California and a lover of sushi, country music, spicy chips, and the color blue! These are some of my tried and true products and I’m so excited to share them with you all!

#1 Dickies Mid Pro Vintage Corduroy Cap

I’ve been loving hats recently, especially for summer, and found this one at a mercantile in Ft. Worth, Texas a few weeks ago. I think the corduroy and detailing on the brim is so fun and makes it a little different from some of the other hats in my collection.

#2 Maison Louis Marie No.04 Bois de Balincourt

I went into Sephora this past weekend to grab a travel size perfume and I stumbled upon this one and instantly fell in love! I usually lean towards a more masculine and woodsy scent and this one is a blend of sandalwood and vetiver (two of my favorites!) It’s one of those perfumes that lasts all day and whenever I get a whiff of it, I become more obsessed. I will definitely buying the full size bottle soon!

#3 Beis East To West Tote

If you know me, you know I can’t stay in one place for too long! This summer I have been out of town every weekend (literally) and my life is in a constant state of packing and unpacking. This tote bag is my favorite to travel with because it fits SO much, slides over the handle of my suitcase, and fits under the seat as a personal item. It’s polyester and is super stain resistant which keeps it nice and clean, even on a light color like this one. I have used it for the past year and it has stood up to the test of time incredibly!

#4 Vidas Wax Works

I stumbled across this small business (owned by the cutest mother daughter duo) at the farmers market last year and have loved their candles ever since. They have SO many yummy scents (my favorite is woodland retreat). If you’re local, they’re at the Downtown Salt Lake City Farmers Market and Park Silly Sunday Market and if not, you can shop them online as well!

#5 SOJOS Retro Aviator Sunglasses

I am incredibly picky about sunglasses and I think I look silly in just about every pair I put on. I’ve been on the hunt recently for some new ones and after trying out a few different styles, ended up landing on these ones. They are great quality and super inexpensive, which I love, and makes me not so scared to loose them or scratch them in my purse. I like the darker lenses, especially during the summer when it’s so bright out and these ones only make me feel a little silly, so I’ll call that a win!

#6 NextWall Peel and Stick Wallpaper

Living in an apartment, it can be difficult to make the space feel like it has character and charm without making permanent changes. When I moved into my place, I wanted to make it feel a little more homey and a comfortable space to come home to at the end of the day. I found this peel and stick wallpaper and decided to give it a try and I love how it turned out. It brightens up the room so much and makes the space feel a little less cold. It was super easy to install and only took me about two hours to finish the entire wall. I definitely am not a designer, but I do think it’s pretty cute.

#7 New Balance 480 Sneakers

I think these may be my favorite sneakers I’ve ever owned and I have owned a lot. The look of them remind me a lot of the Nike Dunks but are a little different, which I like. They are simple enough to go with any outfit, are pretty easy to slide on and off, and are comfortable for a shoe of this style. I will absolutely be ordering them in more colors in the next few months!

#8 Free People High Roller Romper

I’m a huge fan of an outfit that takes minimal effort to put together but looks like I tried really hard and this little romper is a winner! I have it in both the short version, as well as the full length jumpsuit and I’m always reaching for them in my closet. It comes in so many different colors, as well as a few denim washes and it’s super versatile. I usually pair it with a bandeaux top or a cap sleeve t-shirt and I always get so many compliments on it.
