July has been a month of resetting and refreshing.
Since returning from overseas, I've been on a mission to refresh my home, wardrobe, and makeup bag with a few new finds—while also getting back into my routine at my favourite Pilates studio, Core Culture.
Rare Beauty's new gloss has quickly become my go-to, while the KitchenAid food chopper has turned into a kitchen essential.
As for my splurge-worthy buys this month, I've fallen in love with a buffet unit for my living room from Mocka, shopped Faithfull The Brand's new collection, and created my very own personalised necklace from Class A Jewellers.
Without further ado, here are seven new and noteworthy products I've loved in July.
1. KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Mini Food Chopper, was $149 now $129 at KitchenAid
Sometimes things come into your life and you wonder how you used to live without them.
That's exactly what has happened since KitchenAid's 3.5 Cup Mini Food Shopper arrived on my kitchen bench.
Just like the name suggests, it quickly chops and dices all kinds of vegetables and fruit, taking the hard work out of meal prepping.
I went for the classic almond cream colourway to match everything else in my kitchen.
2. Mocka Blair Buffet, $499.99 at Mocka
Ever since I got back from my holiday, I've been on an apartment reset, saying goodbye to a few bits of furniture.
I switched out a pre-loved Ikea bookshelf for something that would work a little better in my apartment, Mocka's Blair Buffet.
Perfect for hiding away all kinds of knick-knacks (there's three drawers and two cupboard spaces), it has a gorgeous 'natural' wood colour that fits perfectly with my other large household items.
3. Faithfull The Brand Gaia Top Norway Stripe Espresso, $180
While I may not be galivanting around Europe, it's not stopped me from shopping Faithfull The Brand's latest Sensommer collection.
After browsing the website for I quickly fell in love with the Gaia Top in a choc brown stripe.
Great with jeans, skirts and even over swimmers, I suspect it will sell out in no time at all.
4. Hommey Bedding Bundle, from $396
I was lucky enough to get my hands on a new bedding bundle from Aussies favourite brand Hommey, in a violet and clover stripe.
Perfect for a spring reset, it's incredibly soft, comfortable and diving into bed at the end of a long day has never felt so good.
5. Class A Jewellers Personalised Charm Necklace, from $625
Charm jewellery is all the rage, with hundreds of brands offering bespoke creations across Australia.
But there's one store I've discovered that is doing it slightly different than others, Class A.
Giving shoppers the chance to completely customise a bracelet or necklace, adding initals, birthstones, diamonds and charms.
Perfect for treating yourself — or a gift for someone special — the pieces are made from the highest quality and will last a lifetime.
6. Core Culture Pilates Studio, from $59
This month has been an exciting one because I'm back at my favourite place — Core Culture pilates.
With two sleek-looking studios nestled away in Cammeray and Newport, these little hidden gems are home to the best reformer classes and supportive instructors.
Core Culture offers 50-minute workouts focused on strength, stability, and the brand's trademarked 'fascaliates', I always leave each class feeling energised and empowered.
7. Rare Beauty Positive Light Luminizing Lip Gloss, $36 at Sephora
Meet my new handbag must-have; Rare Beauty's Positive Light Lip Gloss. A sleek, shiny formula that makes lips look juicy and plump in just a couple of swipes.
Favourite shade? Spark. A slightly brown wash of colour with a seriously sparkly finish.
As the latest arrival in Selena Gomez' beauty brand, it's become my most reached for gloss.
