Happy birthday, July beauties!
Your birthstone is RUBY, queens ❤️
When I think ruby, I think freedom. I think royalty and ruby red slippers. I think about your grandma’s cherry strudel, and I think about Jonas Brothers ‘red dress’ (IYKYK).
Ruby is fancy and she’s small town.
And when I think about thrifting Ruby- I think about the OG cherry Kool-Aid in the Kool-Aid man pitcher. My great grandma collected all the little packets you could mail in and sent in for her set which is still in our family today.
I remember sitting in her dining room drinking a cold glass of that stuff. No one made it like Gigi. (It was 75% sugar and red dye 40 but no one’s Kool-Aid compared 😂).
So, when you’re out thrifting this month- keep an eye out for the Kool-Aid man && vintage red Pyrex. Pop over to the shoe rack and check for red Mary Jane flats that literally fit into your wardrobe all year.
And when you see that little solid wood bookshelf that has so much potential- imagine it in a gorgeous ruby shade for inspiration 😍
PS- don’t forget to check the jewelry case for a lovely ruby pendant- Ruby royalty just like Kate ⭐️
