Welcome to this week’s Wednesday Watch List, where I share the random things that captured my attention and stole my heart over the past week!

1 – This gorgeous Elbow Cay beach house tour from Andrew Howard is a fun one! If you can’t have fun with color and pattern in the Bahamas, where else can you? The exterior and grounds are equally as beautiful!

2 – There are a lot of cute and colorful new arrivals for summer at J. Crew Factory right now! Here are some favorites in a perfect shade of blue.

And here are some in shades of green. I’m really loving the green and light blue color pairing on this striped dress!

And finally, some warmer shades in corals and pinks!

Last time I shared J. Crew Factory, I mentioned I had ordered this top and these shorts for Italy and I wanted to report back. I loved them as a set, but they can easily be mixed and matched with other items! Here’s the full look on one of our boat & beach days on our trip. The deckhand clearly had the phone on wide-angle or something because neither our legs nor our feet are quite that long 😉 I’m in a XL top and 14 shorts since I wanted them looser over swimsuits, so I’d say they fit fairly true to size.

3 – If you love the look of Bauble Bar (which I’m a big fan of) but don’t want to spend quite as much on trendy jewelry, give these necklaces a try. They come in just as many fun colors and are a great addition to summer outfits! They also offer this even chunkier version, as well. The chunky bead necklaces are trending in a big way this year and such an easy trend to try!

4 – I was gifted this thigh rescue gel and I have no idea how I didn’t know this was missing in my life! Guys, it’s legit so good! If you’re a runner, walker, or gal with bigger thighs, I’m telling you this anti-chafe gel is so good. It has a built-in applicator so you just squeeze a little out, rub it in, and it dries basically instantly and makes your thighs feel like velvet. I’ve found it to be a must on beach days or when I go for longer walks when the sweat and friction just aren’t a great combo. So great for summer and all the activities! It’s also water-resistant and unscented. You can also get it here and here if you want to bundle your order for free shipping, card points, or whatever.

5 – I’m loving so many of the new pieces in the summer Hearth & Hand collection! Lots of great finds for summer entertaining! All sources are listed below the graphic.
