summer fashion trends we love

Kennedy and Liz are talking all things summer fashion in this week's episode. Before diving into their favorite trends, they chat about the Love Island finale, what they're hoping to see at the reunion, and the struggle of finding a new evening show to binge. Then, they break down the summer styles they're loving. From baggy shorts, silk dresses, and colorful patterns to flip-flops, polka dots, and the shoes everyone seems to be wearing this season. And it wouldn’t be a TGL without wrapping things up with song of the week.  00:00 - intro + life updates 08:43 - song of the week 10:07 - summer fashion trends we love Podcast Instagram: @thegirlsloungepodcast Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/thegirlsloungepodcast [https://linktr.ee/thegirlsloungepodcast] episode 103

They share the realistic goals, experiences, and small moments they’re hoping to prioritize this summer while finding balance and making the most of the season. 00:00 - intro + life updates  31:04 - song of the week 33:18 - summer bucket list 2026 Podcast Instagram: @thegirlsloungepodcast Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/thegirlsloungepodcast Personal Socials: Kt instagram: @kennedyrlthornton Liz instagram: @elizabethvalladaress Kt youtube: https://youtube.com/@kennedythornton03?si=RanDVt7AJ-e5i10f [https://youtube.com/@kennedythornton03?si=RanDVt7AJ-e5i10f] episode 102

its the END + would you rather

Episode 100?! We can’t believe we made it either. In this week’s episode, we’re talking life updates, burnout, and why this might sound like the end (don’t panic… or do). KT opens up about feeling stuck creatively lately, somehow ended up back at high school, and has been coping through shopping sprees and Bravo reality TV. Liz is officially living her best Chicago life in the sky, meal prepping like a pro, and romanticizing her daily walks. We also get into a chaotic Canada GP recap, pop culture favorites, what we’re watching lately, and songs of the week before wrapping it all up with an unhinged round of “Would You Rather.” It’s messy, dramatic, slightly concerning, and very Episode 100 of us. 00:00 - intro + life updates  09:45  - favorites of the week 13:03 - tgl sports corner Canadian GP 17:08 - what we are watching (real house wives, 56 days, desperate housewives) 23:33 - song of the week 26:50 - would you rather Podcast Instagram: @thegirlsloungepodcast Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/thegirlsloungepodcast Personal Socials: Kt instagram: @kennedyrlthornton Liz instagram: @elizabethvalladaress Kt youtube: https://youtube.com/@kennedythornton03?si=RanDVt7AJ-e5i10f episode 100

What's Next?

In this episode of The Girls Lounge, we’re talking all about the unknowns of post-grad life, entering new eras, and figuring out “what’s next.” From KT applying to jobs and embracing her creative side to Liz officially becoming a flight attendant and spending the summer in Chicago, we’re diving into career changes, making new friends, wellness goals, and navigating adulthood in your 20s. We also break down the Mikayla vs. Taylor Frankie Paul drama, share what we’re currently watching like The Pitt and Off Campus, and talk music favorites from Lady Gaga to Gracie Abrams.
