Happy Friday, friends! I hope you had a wonderful week!
As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and sharing this week’s FAVORITE THINGS!
I’m so happy you’re all here with me today! Tomorrow is our first SUMMER SATURDAY of the season, so please come back and say hi in the morning too!
Between now and then, have a fantastic Friday! xx
Well clearly…
…being on Nantucket this week has been our favorite Fave. We have jumped right back into the swing of things!
You guys, I am SUPER impressed with this one…
…I have gushed and gushed about our AMAZON FAUX-WOOD BLINDS now for two years. The quality is really unbelievable for the price. We have them in every window here on Nantucket.
Well, this time of year, the sun is up bright and early…5:08 AM.
BRIGHT and EARLY.
We like getting up early, but we don’t necessarily want everyone in the house up at 5 o’clock in the morning, so this year, we bought CORDLESS BLACKOUT SHADES, and I was super skeptical that they would work well, but they have been a game-changer!
You cannot see them when they’re pulled up behind the blinds, but when they’re pulled down…
…they really do reduce so much light! Here it is down…
…and here it is up.
I did a side by side for you too…
…we have added them to every window. They are really easy to install, cordless, and reduce the bright light significantly.
Two big thumbs up from the Shulls!
You can find them HERE and the awesome faux wood blinds HERE!
I think I’ve shared SEASHORE SPRITZER with you before, but I’m sharing it again because I really love it. I am pretty positive you could use it a variety of ways, but for me, I spritz it on my damp hair and let it air dry…
…and it gets a bit beachy…
SEASHORE SPRITZER smells AMAZING too 🙂 . Wash, spritz and air dry!
I have worn a variety this week…
…from my beloved PJ SET…
…to my SHORT SLEEVE SWEATSHIRT and SNEAKERS.
And then, I am really really excited about this find…
…I bought and returned two other long white skirts because they were either unlined or lined and thick and bulky. Needless to say, I was thrilled to find THIS ONE because it is both lined and yet light and priced really well. It comes in other colors too, but white just said “summer” to me.
You guys, it’s under $30!
A skirt on repeat!
Curious about the TOP 10 FAVORITE FINDS FOR MAY? Here you go…
#10 was THIS SHORT SLEEVE SWEATER!
#9 was MY PEARL HUGGIE EARRINGS!
#8 was MY TANK!
#7 was MY TENNIS SKIRT!
#6 was MY HAT!
#5 was MY SANDALS and #4 was MY WATCH BAND SET!
#3 was MY SHORTS (literally wearing them right now as I type this sentence) and #2 was THAT AWESOME SPORTS BRA!
And #1 was THIS DRESS!
I felt like the first full weekend of June needed a very summery recipe.
Thus, I give you my…
You are going to want to make these this weekend! Spoiler alert: THEY ARE SO EASY!
Happy Friday, friends! I hope you have a wonderful day! I’ll see you tomorrow with our first SUMMER SATURDAY of the season 🙂 . xx

The hair is getting so long (very pretty)!!
SC says
The girls are adorable, ready for tennis 🙂 The Seashore Spritzer sounds so easy. I am going to have to try it!
Paula Hobbs says
Well, my cart overflows LOL 🙂 So many good favs this week! Have the best weekend!!
Betsy says
Can the band (braiding) on the hat be removed?
Thank you!
Mix and Match Mama says
Yes!
Betsy says
Thank you so much!
K.K. says
Love that pic of the girls with tennis rackets! Makes me want to get back out there.
I remember you and Erika talking about learning tennis one day. Maybe it’s your summer? 😄
Mix and Match Mama says
Well, well, well Erika and I actually gave tennis a BIG GO…and well, we have already retired from it 😉 .
Kristen says
Have you tried pickleball at all? I live in New England and it’s huge here!
Mix and Match Mama says
I keep telling Erika that needs to be next for us!
Alyssa Norman says
This looks like heaven! Being from Colorado I’ve never been or even really thought much about Nantucket or the northeast but now after following you, (and reading waayyyy too many Elin novels), it’s super high on my bucket list!
We just finished Sirins on Netflix, and while it’s not actually filmed in Nantucket and is set in a made up town, it’s supposed to be Nantucket-esque and even though I didn’t love the show I was so sad when it ended because I just loved the scenery so much!
Can’t wait to stay tuned to all of your summer adventures!
Mix and Match Mama says
I haven’t watched this show/know nothing about it. You’ve sold me though! THANK YOU!!
Bren says
I have been encouraged to watch Sirens and now that you mention the scenery, Alyssa, I’m adding it to my to-watch list. Thank you!
Debbie Alsip says
Love that sports bra! Like I probably need to buy at least one more because they’re the only ones I want to wear. Comfortable and supportive AND no silly pads to adjust every time I wash the bra!
Dedee says
What’s the color of the hat? It looks stunning
Mix and Match Mama says
Mine is khaki
Lauren Priddle says
The blackout shades are perfect for my toddler’s room! Love that you can pull them up or down!
Mix and Match Mama says
I am IN LOVE! They are so affective!
Mary Brown says
Love this! How often do you cook dinner over the summer in Nantucket?
Mix and Match Mama says
Not nearly as much as I do during the school year. I would say 2 to 3 days a week.
Emilee says
Yay for the return of Summer Saturdays!
Shannon in PA says
Hi, Shay – what size did you get in the white long skirt? Does it run large or pretty true to size? Thanks! 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
XS and yes, true to size!
Bren says
I am an early morning person too, but blackout shades in the bedroom are a must for us! We have them in all our bedrooms, and I updated our bedrooms with ones from Amazon. However, when we built the house and had littles, it was pre-Amazon and I had to measure and head to JCP’s home store to purchase. Are we not so thankful for Amazon now??!!
hilary wheeler says
How can you mount both the blackout shades and the blinds ? Are the blinds and outside mount?
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s really easy! The blackout shades mount right at the top of the windowsill and the blinds just a little in front. We had the blinds first and the blackouts went easily right behind them
Annie says
I love the striped top you’re wearing in the pearl Huggie picture. Can you link this too?
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s a dress! I wear it all the time. I love it! https://shopstyle.it/l/crdtl
Jill says
Do you think the Seashore Spritzer helps with frizz? I guess you might not know if your hair never “frizzes” in humidity. I have some natural wave but the frizz I battle in the summer is brutal.
Mix and Match Mama says
Hmmmm…I don’t know if it helps specifically with frizz. For that, I trust my Colleen Rothschild hair products. They work wonders!
Samantha Carroll says
I’m so enjoying the pearl huggie earrings! Great price and they just go with everything and feel summery to me!
Mix and Match Mama says
I agree!!!
