Are your timelines and feeds awash with the color lime green, pixelated lowercase text, and Y2K-inspired black and chrome looks? Because mine are, and I couldn’t love it more: This latest internet phenomenon is in reference to pop icon Charli XCX’s latest album, Brat, which dropped early last month. Some have declared it “Brat Summer,” but I don’t think I’ll be ready to give up the Brat Summer vibes when the season starts to change. I also don’t think I’ll have to.

Charli’s inimitable Brat aesthetic has already transcended music, reaching into the realms of fashion, beauty, and even baking — and now design as well. We rounded up seven home products that are just “so Julia,” to help you stay Brat through the rest of summer and all the way to your dorm room this year.

Jellycat Plush
Ricky Rain Frog Bag Charm
Jellycat
$23.00

IMO, something about this little Jellycat just screams Brat. His green shade is notably a perfect match to Charli’s album cover … and his cute little pouty face is giving a bratty vibe for sure. Ricky Rain Frog will have you “looking like an icon” around campus. (And good luck losing your keys with this guy at your side!)

You obviously want to capture a lot of memories of college on camera. Go retro with a disposable cam for your next night with friends. “Put the camera flash on” and “work angles” for these little green cuties!

Frames
PÄRLHAGTORN Frame
IKEA
$6.99

Once you get those pics developed, you’ll need somewhere to put them, right? These frames from IKEA, with a wavy silhouette and chrome finish, are so on trend. And the $6.99 price point doesn’t hurt either.
