The sun is shining, you’ve probably attended a few showers and have weddings coming up, the kids are almost off; it’s basically SUMMER. If you’re like us, it’s the time to catch up on all our favorites! We’ve never done a favorites list before, so we’ve decided to put together a list of things we’ve been excited about lately!
Movies:
- The Greatest Showman: OK. We know it's been out for a while. But, can not get over those catchy tunes, amazing costumes and super awesome themes! 10/10 Recommend.
- I Feel Pretty: This one is hilarious. Celebrating inner beauty, girl power and confidence in one of the funniest comedies we've seen in awhile. Amy Schumer... enough said.
- Fast and Furious + Back to the Future: Throwing it back. We've been super into revisiting some old favorites. The Fast and Furious franchise will always be classic. Dreamboat Paul Walker will always be a favorite, RIP <3 If you're too young to have been blessed to see Back the Future. It's movie night time. If nothing else, you can giggle at the fashion and technology from back in the 80's.
Music:
- Post Malone: Our favorite track "Better Now" comes from his newest album called "beerbongs & bentleys" Perfect chill, summer track. But what else can you expect from Post?
- "Genius" featuring Sia, Diplo & Labrinth. Still pretty new, but I would not be surprised if it made it to the top of the list this summer. With all the variety of voices and layers of beats and melodies there is so much to listen for. It feels like it could fit in a movie or a play. Really incredible song writing and producing.
- Vance Joy: This is folk/singer song writer for those who aren't familiar. For those that are, let's be real, THE ENTIRE NEW ALBUM (Nation of Two) is incredible. However, if I had to pick a few favorites: "We're Going Home", "Take Your Time", and "Alone With Me".
- Kanye West: We love to hate him but we also love to love him. His newest single "Lift Yourself" was a surprising sound. But can't help but totally dig the retro sound and heavy beats. Wasn't sure what to make of his scat rapping at the end, but undoubtedly so Kayne to bring something new to the table! Also, as always overplaying "Life of Pablo" not sure when that will ever get old.

Products:
- Our Newest Tea Towels + Wine Bags for Summer: Alright, there is no way around this, we are biased when it comes to our own products... BUT! For good reason. We have launched a bunch of new, super cute designs for both tea towels + wine bags for summer!
Tote Bags: You caught us again... they're ours. Our travel inspired totes are perfect for wherever the adventure might take you this summer! Take a look at one of our favorites:
Jumpsuits: We're all about a good jumpsuit for summer! Whether it's a shorts romper, a velvet flare or a cotton, floral one--count us in! So cute with heels or to dress down with some sandals!
Rose Gold + Gold Makeup: It's not a novel concept for summer... but, the California girl in us is ready for all that bronzey goodness! Crossing my fingers highlighter doesn't go off trend for a long, long time... One of my favorite tricks is to put a little gold in the corner of the eyes nearest the bridge of your nose--this makes you look more awake and bonus totally makes you look summer ready!
Let us know what you think about the favs here at C+C! We'd love to hear some of your favorites as well!
Happy May + Pre Summer Lovelies!
