I absolutely love all of these fun and cute items, and have put them on my “must haves for summer” list! Check out my list of where you can find each item for yourself. I hope you love them as much as I do!
These Are Some Of My Favorite Must Have Items For Summer
1. I am in love with this Cinnamon Mini Donuts reed diffuser from Target! Such a yummy scent! It makes me happy every time I walk by it. I just want to stop and take a deep breath. The last time I was in Target I had to get the candle too!
2. Fun new summer scent! I came across this unique fragrance from Lollia Wish last month when I was in Austin. It was hot and sticky, and we’d just walked two miles in 90+ degree weather in downtown Austin. I put this on and instantly felt refreshed and about a thousand times better. Love the mix of sugarcane and vanilla bean. I picked it up from Anthropologie as soon as I got home!
3. On Sunday afternoon before heading back home from Austin, Erin and I did some shopping in the Second Street District. It’s full of unique art, shopping, and restaurants. I love boutique shopping! Especially on vacation. :) I couldn’t resist this beautiful, delicate chevron necklace from Mercury Design Studio.
They also had these dainty pink earrings. I love buying earrings as souvenirs. Whenever I wear them, I always remember the city and good vacation memories. :)
Well, of course I had to get them in teal, too. :)
4. So, Old Navy has jewelry now! How fun are these swirly neon pink and gold earrings??
These shimmery hot pink and coral earrings from Old Navy are the perfect color. Okay. I might be obsessed with earrings.
5. Dying over this colorful mustache scarf!!! I originally saw it on Bakingdom’s Instagram, and I knew immediately I had to have it. I went on a Google hunt and tracked it down at the cutest little online store, The Pickleville Playhouse. They are full of fun mustache goodies, lol! :) Less than three days later it was in my mailbox. It’s so light and comfy — the perfect summer scarf. I’ve worn it twice already. :)
Come to find out, the sweet owner is actually a reader of Kevin & Amanda, and she wrote me the sweetest card and included it with my scarf. It was the nicest surprise!! She also sent along some fun mustache goodies like these earrings!! How cute are these tiny mustache earrings??! :) Thank you Erin!! xoxo
6. If you are wondering about any of the lenses or camera settings I used, you can always click on any photo to see the camera, lens, and settings used to take that photo.
7. To my USA readers, have a happy Fourth of July!!!!!!! What are you doing for the holiday? What are you making?? :) If you still need ideas, you can’t go wrong with this recipe for perfect pulled pork. It’s always the star of the show!
8. And don’t forget about these Fourth of July Strawberry Shortcake Doughnut Muffins. :) I need to make these again. I am still dreaming about them!!
Have a wonderful week, friends! Talk soon!

What a nice picture of you! :) Thanks for linking to me (and in the other posts). And I’m happy you’re enjoying the earrings. Good call on going down that street!
I love love love your ruffle top! Where did you get it?
Thank you! It’s from Ann Taylor Loft :)
Care to share where you got the ruffle top? I love the scarf but I really love ruffles.
Those earrings and mustache scarf are so cute!! Happy 4th, Amanda :)
I just have to ask (and maybe I am behind the times…) but why is it called a moustache scarf? Are the images moustaches and I just can’t tell? :) I can’t believe with all of your traveling and baking that you are as tiny as you are! You look fabulous!! What IS the secret??
The images are little colorful mustaches! :)
I love all of the things you showed! Need ’em ;)
Just stopping by to say that’s an absolutely GORGEOUS photo of you!!! :)
Thank you, Lori!! xoxo
Fun post! Love those earrings! Happy 4th! Enjoy the pool! xoxo
Such a fun post!!! Cutest scarf ever and love that picture of you!! Can’t wait to see you in a few weeks :) xoxo
I love all these cute goodies! Especially the earrings. Rockin roller coaster destroyed my favorite gold hoops at Disney :(
Oh no!!! I hate losing a favorite pair of earrings. :( I was afraid I was going to lose mine on Space Mountain! I held on to them for dear life, lol! :)
What an adorable pic of you! Is there any way we can buy the earrings that you got in Texas? I looked at the shop online and it doesn’t look like you can order from there (I am already obsessed with those earrings. Haha.)
Thank you Casey! I would definitely call or email them and ask! They had a bunch and they seemed very friendly. :)
Love your earring picks. I may have a slight earring addiction though I haven’t yet gotten a professional diagnosis.
Your strawberry shortcake doughnut muffins are on my menu for tomorrow. Can’t wait to try them!!! Happy 4th!!
Love this list! Thanks for sharing!
LOVING this scarf! The colors are fantastic.
I love the scarf!! The colors are wonderful and how great that you were able to track down where your friend got hers! Yes, our Old Navy has sold jewelry for several years and the deals are great on it, also. I’ll have to take a sniff of the candle when I go to Target because I’m all about candles in my home!! Have a safe 4th of July.
I love these posts Amanda!!…….I’m SO looking for that reed diffuser!
and I’m in LOVE with the scarf…..but here’s my thing, I think scarves look SO cute with summer outfits, but I’m always afraid they will make me so hot – so I never wear them in the summer, even though I have lots of light weight ones. – LOVE that white top you have on too!.
What a gorgeous photo of you! That scarf and those earrings are too cute!
All the photos are great! I love the necklace and earrings, especially the tiny mustache earrings :D And the doughnut muffin looks sooo yummy!
I try so hard to avoid the candle / home scent aisle of Target because I will spend all the money. But now I’m going to have to make a trip down that aisle for that room diffuser! Same goes for that Anthro scent!!
You look just stunning, Amanda! xo!
that scarf is so adorable!
I am also completely obsessed with earrings… especially big or statement earrings!
You’re bad for my wallet ;)
I am making a Cookie Monster cake & cupcakes, browned butter banana cookies & cotton candy cookies for my grandson’s FIRST birthday party. I am making your doughnut muffins for breakfast one day & now maybe the pulled pork…. It’s going to be a FUN weekend!!
That scarf is AMAZING! By the way have you lost weight? You look lovely xx
I need to buy that perfume in a major way!!
I am obsessed with ALLLLL these things now. The mustache scarf?? What??? Too CUTE!!!
I must have taken for granted our Old Navy’s have carried jewelry for a few years. Their stuff is cute isn’t it!? Reasonably priced too which is always a big plus! I love the swirly ones, takes me back to high school (though mine were always a little bigger, I have the yanked ear holes to vouch.) That was really nice of the store owner to send you some extra stuff with your purchase. The perks of being…well, you! :-)
I hope you have a great holiday and do something fun in that gorgeous backyard of yours! Always so jealous of those beautiful sunset pics you post. Soak it in, girl!
Thank you Anele!! I swear it is new here, or maybe I am just losing my mind??! Lol!! :) Have a happy Fourth!! :) xoxo
Those doughnut muffins look incredible! I made some too a few weeks ago. They were cinnamon and brown butter. Soooo delish. Thanks for sharing!
That Cinnamon Mini Donut stuff…whoa, I would never leave the room. I’d just keep sniffing it :) And from Target no less- love that!
And that scent from Anthro – they have the best scents, don’t they!
You are glowing in that pic, too! So pretty :)
