These Were The Most Purchased Items In July (SO Many Fun Suprises!)
It's been a while since we've done one of these posts, but July was an unexpectedly BIG shopping month for you all, so we thought we'd share our insider info. WHY? Well, because it's fun and, as the Kyle Cook meme goes, "SUMMER. SHOULD. BE. FUN". What we personally loved about this month was how home decor-focused it was, which isn't always the case. Fashion tends to be an easier and quicker purchase. However, this month you can expect "new" standout brands, and some old favorites have come back. All in all, I'm just a big fan of seeing what other people are scooping up. Let me show you...
10. The Organic Modern Coffee Table
To be honest, I couldn't find where we linked this VERY awesome coffee table. But what I do know is that it's sturdy, which makes it great for pets, kids, and clumsy adults:) It's just the perfect style to freshen up a space without it feeling too trendy. It also comes in 4 other stains and colors.
9. Emily's Whimsical Wood Frames
Glossy Beaded Bobbin Picture Frame
In the next spot are these incredibly cute picture frames that Emily bought for the farmhouse. Here's what Emily had to say about them:
"The cutest wall frames for family photos (or any photos) from Etsy (and a long-time follower). Nothing makes me happier than ordering something from a small maker and finding out that they are a long-time reader/follower, so when I ordered these ADORABLE bobbin frames from Lily Field Studio (on Etsy), I was delighted to hear her response. I have a quick/fun partnership with Etsy (one of my favorite resources for shopping local/small/makers) so I’ll be featuring them more on social soon, but if you are wanting some elevated frames that are sweet, come in a lot of colors, are very high quality (lacquered, perfectly constructed) and with custom painted frame mattes, consider looking here. I LOVE them and wish I had ordered more big ones (just might) for up our stairway. Whimsical without being too “baby”. Thanks, Joanna! Also, follow her here!"
8. Emily's Cool Summer Pull-On Shorts
Stripe Pull-On Linen & Cotton Shorts
These shorts were a huge hit! We get it because who doesn't want a fun, easy-to-pull-on short for the summer? Oh, and they are currently 25% off! Here's also what Em had to say about them:
"The shorts are pull-on, drawstring, patterned, and perfect for all your daytime occasions (I think you could even pair them with a t-shirt and blazer for casual Friday office days since they read trouser shorts, not pajamas). I’m wearing a medium, FYI."
7. Clear Shelf Divider
The Container Store Clear Shelf Divider
Another mystery link, but a good one at that:) Late summer/early fall is like another "new year, new me" time (since school starts up again). Let's just say organizing ramps back up. And if you have open shelves that could use a little structure, these dividers are great. I know if my sweaters are hidden in a box, I'm likely going to forget about them. This can solve that "out of sight, out of mind" issue:)
6. Em's Favorite Romper
The EHD team was extremely excited and curious to try a Pistola romper because of how much Emily raves about them. We did a whole post about it, trying on a few different styles. Actually, #11 on the most purchased list was another romper we loved. So happy so many of you got your hands on one of these because they are truly awesome. Here's what Em said about the red one that sold so well:
"I’ve worn the red one almost every day since I got it – oh, and it washes great, too. I don’t need to steam it, and they don’t wrinkle up in an annoying way. I have the denim version that drapes/falls really well, too."
5. Colorful Storage Bins
Told you organizing was heating up! But what the surprise was was that it was from Design Within Reach. It's so fun to see a new home brand on the most purchased list. If you haven't seen these cute little crates and are looking for some bins, boy, are they cute, come in a few different sizes, and great colors.
4. Emily's Favorite Mattress
I have to say I wasn't surprised to see this on the most purchased list this month. Emily is IN LOVE with this mattress. Originally, Leesa gifted one for Birdie's room, but loved it so much that she ended up asking for one for herself (and Brian). Here's what she said about it before she got hers:
“Honestly, I’m super jealous of this mattress. It is insanely soft and plush and is like sleeping on a cloud. The quilted topper lets you really sink in, but it’s still very supportive. If I were to buy a new mattress for me and Brian now, I would buy this one. A true surprise hit! So if you’re into sleeping on a cloud, this is your mattress. We have the “chill” version but haven’t noticed the cooling aspect, but love it regardless.”

3. Em's Sunroom Farmhouse Dining Table
Reclaimed Wood Oval Farm Table
A true sleeper hit!! But whoever got this table is so lucky because it's so beautiful. I've had the pleasure of seeing it and sitting around it multiple times. Here's what Em said in the reveal about it:
"The table was custom-sized from a design by Elsie Green – a small furniture maker (with reclaimed material) in the Bay Area. It’s incredibly perfect for this space. We needed narrow (but not too narrow) and really long (120″), and I wanted curved ends and some round legs to offset all the squares from the tile and the windows."
2. The Portland Team's #1 Sandal
Arizona Big Buckle Slide Sandal
This is the real MVP of sandals, especially for our Portland gals. These Birkenstocks come in a bunch of different colors (and materials), and from what I hear, they are just so comfortable. A true classic!
1. Modern House Address Numbers
I know?!!! House numbers were our #1 most purchased item last month, and another Design Within Reach find. I'm also not sure where the link came from, but so happy for all of you that will soon have extremely stylish address numbers on your homes. It's those small details that can make a big impact.
That's it from us today. Hope you have a great weekend, and hope this was fun!

Is the All Modern Aicha Single Coffee Table from the coffee table post “Rules For Picking a Coffee Table (+ 69 Of Our Favorites for Every Space – The 2024 UPDATE)”?
The Container Store shelf dividers were on the sale post “Let’s Save Some Money! The Best July 4th Sales On Home, Fashion, And Beauty From The Experts”
I bought the Pistola Parker romper in ecru thanks to you and would never have taken the plunge if not for your post as it was on final sale. It’s my favorite clothing purchase in AGES and people literally stop me in the street to ask where I bought it! Thank you!!!
I bought two of the Pistola rompers and wear them all the time. I even wore one to a street fest knowing I’d be boobs out in a porta potty but decided I looked too cute to care.
🤣
Some Pistola items available on Nordstrom Rack now.
Fun, we’re the lucky winners of the dining table! We also used the same tile as Emily’s sunroom cause it’s all went together so well!
How cool is that? Now you have to post a pic of your sunroom! I’d live to see it.
Its not done yet, it’ll be in Sept. Would love to share it once done but not sure where?
