I set out looking for an ottoman tray this week, but naturally got sidetracked and have no purchases or decision to show for it. Instead, I have this roundup of beautiful, non ottoman trays, incase one of them piques your interest. For your vanity, console, bar cart or kitchen island.

1.MCM Danish stainless steel 2.Wood grain tray 3.Art Deco mirror tray (same tray here for $$$) 4.Paprika lacquer tray 5.Art Deco silver basket 6.Chrome mirror tray 7.1960s metal & faux wood tray 8. 512 marble tray in cherry 9.MCM silver aluminum tray 10.Walnut wood tray
A favorite, 1970s Modern Teak Stainless Tray from Denmark

And for the 8 best (non TRR) finds from this week. If you’re here for TRR, scroll down.

  1. Knotted Leather Belt - To cinch a loose dress this summer, with a pair of shorts now, or to spice up your favorite denim or trousers in the fall. Available in every color you could want

  2. Manolo Blahnik Python Mules - fellow big footed friends, you’re in luck

  3. Satin Halterneck - I feel like this is the kind of special top that we’re always on the pursuit for, but is hard to come by. Gorgeous for a bride or if you have somewhere celebratory to go

  4. Patent Leather Mules - the perfect mule for all 4 seasons

  5. Stone Tessellated Boxes - if you look up similar pieces, you’ll find them listed for 5x the price

  6. Trinket Shell Box - another pretty decorative piece for your dresser

  7. Benny Belt in Coffee Suede - suede for summer

  8. Claudent Set - a line I’m very fond of. I see it as incredibly chic and well designed garments, that happen to have a bonus of UPF protection

Some beauty talk:

Sayn Beauty, a new-to-me beauty retailer, generously offered 20% off your first order on the site with the code XOILANA. They carry almost all of my very favorite products, so this could be the perfect opportunity to stock up, or test out something you’ve been wanting to try.

Highlighting my very favorite products they carry below:

The Rich Cream from Augustinus Bader, and their lip balm. They also carry the most effective eye patches I’ve tried, and my go to gentle exfoliating cleanser.

The only 3 products in my routine that they don’t carry: the Super Intensive Face Oil (currently working my way through my third bottle, Ilana20 for 20% off), Furtuna’s (also Ilana20) Cleansing Oil Balm and Triple Active Exfoliator. I’m always afraid any type of exfoliation will trigger my perioral dermatitis, but the Furtuna exfoliator smooths, clarifies and brightens without any flare ups.

Back to the new beauty retailer, - you can get 20% off anything Westman Atelier, but my top picks: the vital foundation stick (shade III), super loaded highlight, mascara in brun, the blender brush, and this baby version.
