Just Got Paid? These 24 Vibe-y Home Buys That Caught a Design-Obsessed Editor's Eye This Month Are the Perfect End-of-Month Treat

From fringed parasols to Space Age-y lamps, squiggly mirrors, and splatterware, payday couldn't have come at a better time

The decluttering is done for the season (hopefully), and now you're looking to refresh your space. Where to start? Indoors or out? On my payday wish list this month is a little bit of everything: there's fringed parasols and Palo Santo incense. There's a gorgeous linen bed throw (it's time to shed those heavy layers) and a groovy, Space Age-y floor lamp, pretty brass pendant lights for your garden, and even a design-y picnic basket.

Colors are bright, fabrics are light — there's just something so fun about styling your home this time of the year. In terms of newness, I've just discovered a vibe-y new drinks brand, Club Mera, and it's delicious, pre-mixed (and non-alcoholic!) Bitter Blood Orange Aperitivo. Elsewhere, the effortlessly stylish Sophie Lou Jacobsen just dropped a new 'Disco Aperitivo' collection inspired by 1970s and 80s Italian disco glamour. It includes a copper cigarette box and a Swarovski crystal 'ash tray,' which has me questioning: could smoking be cool again?

Payday couldn't have hit at a better time this month. The weather is good, it feels like every weekend is a long one, and vibes are very, very high. So go on, treat yourself to something nice to celebrate the season. Here's what's on my list.
