18 Fun & Stylish July FINDS
We love to get out in the warm summer sun to explore all of Birmingham's local boutiques. Take a look at some of these fantastic FINDS we spotted around town.
July was made for days by the pool, cookouts with friends and countless hours spent in the sunshine. Itβs one of our favorite months of the year as it just has a laid-back and playful vibe. In that spirit, weβve rounded up a few stylish and summery FINDS. From beautiful beachwear to staple pieces for the home, we bet youβll find something you just have to have. Here are our July FINDS!
FASHION & ACCESSORIES
Pink crossbody purse
Nothing says βsummerβ quite like hot pink, and we love the shade of this on-trend color thatβs captured in this stylish crossbody purse. Itβs the perfect carryall for your essentials, and the hot pink color will absolutely complement your sunkissed tan. Find this, for $28.50, at Secondhand Rose.
Summer sunnies
Summer calls for a new pair of sunnies. We love this Maho Shades style, called Palm Beach Honey, for their light tortoiseshell color scheme, thick cat-eye frame and feminine flair. Find them, for $145, at Maho Shades.
Velvet pink slides
Yes, please! You simply canβt go wrong with a pair of comfy (and on-trend!) footwear that keeps you cool while adding the perfect touch of personality to any outfit. Don these slides for a girlβs night out, date night or family outing. Just donβt be surprised when every lady you meet is asking where she can purchase them for herself! Find these, for $56, at Chickadee Interiors.
Patterned tassel wristlet
Every bright and beautiful summer outfit deserves an equally vibrant accessory, and weβve found the cutest wristlet that delivers. Weβre loving this one for its beachy details, fun tassel and practical size. Pair it with any neutral outfit to add a pop of subtle, chic summer style. Find it for $155 at aβmano gifts.
Floppy beach hat
Headed to the beach this July? Not without this floppy hat, you arenβt! We love the cute saying and bold black ribbon. Put it on to wear down to the water or with a sundress as you shop around town. Sun protection and an Instagram-worthy photo opp for the win! Find this, for $28, at the Clothes Tree.
Colorful grip socks
We love getting our sweat on at Club Pilates, and it always helps to have new fitness gear to maintain motivation β such as these vibrant grip socks. While youβre burning off those extra summer calories, youβll find some solace in your fun new footies. Find them for $12 at Club Pilates.
Dusty blue fabric clutch
Sometimes all you need is a good clutch to pull a whole outfit together. Whether you like neutral or bold accessories, you canβt go wrong with this dusty blue clutch that easily holds your credit cards, phone and lip gloss. Find this, for $38, at Birminghamβs newest specialty gift shop, Trove Design Co.

Green fringe earrings
When weβre in a hurry but still want to look glam, we love popping a pair of statement earrings on and weβre out the door. The versatile color and unique beading of this pair brings much-needed interest to an otherwise understated outfit or dresses up your best look! Can we get one in every color possible, please?! Find these, for $32, at The Impeccable Pig.
Holiday accessories
Celebrate Americaβs birthday with the perfect accessory. These gorgeous handmade clutches were spotted at Paige Albright Orientals and we immediately fell in love with them all. Coming from Turkey, Moroco, and Africa, these pieces are unique and truly one-of-a-kind. The statement accessory you need this summer! Find them at Paige Albright Orientals.

POOLSIDE ESSENTIALS
Animal print and mosaic Fouta towel
A giant beach towel is something youβll need all summer long, so you might as well find one thatβs just as cute as it is functional! Not only is this one large enough to share, but itβs also SO soft and comfortable. Whether youβre at the pool, the lake or the beach, this vibrant towel will definitely be a hit with all your friends and family. Personalize your beach towel with a standard monogram up to 4β for an additional $11. Find this, for $62, at B.Bayer.
Summer hair care
While we love the summer sun, our hair certainly doesnβt. Hair care is important all year long, but with the added stress of the sun, humidity and salt water (or even worse, chlorine), itβs important to add a few more steps to your hair care routine. Weβre loving the new summer line by Davines that protects hair from all the damage a day by the water can bring. Find this line, ranging from $24 to $29, at The Collective in Pepper Place.
