Happy Distractions from MyTheresa

Wow, the world has certainly changed since our last blog post. We made the decision last Thursday to close our offices and have all P+P employees work from home - in hopes that we can help slow the spread of this crazy virus. Our family has been self quarantined since then too, and while I’m not a doctor, I certainly believe it is our responsibility to do EVERYTHING we can to save lives. So we will continue to do our part to flatten the curve by staying home. And we will continue to focus on the positive and share what we hope will be a few “happy distractions” during this incredibly scary time!

Of course it is certainly not our intention to pretend that finding the perfect “spring pieces” is really at top of mind right now; but if it brightens your day, makes you smile, or helps distract you for just a moment, then we’ve done our job! We are currently choosing to take advantage of a little extra time at home to get our “lives” and closet organized. Our strategy is to edit down to the pieces that we really wear and then sell/donate the remainder. So whether you are on the hunt for a few classic investment pieces to round out your closet, or the perfect patterned dress for a summer wedding, MyTheresa has you covered! From bold color palettes, to playful prints, to whimsical accessories… they have all the essentials for the upcoming warmer, sunnier, and hopefully healthier months! To make it easy on y’all, we’ve rounded up all of our favorite finds and what’s at the tippy top of of wishlist for the season below. Plus, there’s no better time to treat yourself than during a good sale! From now until March 19th, you can save $100 off $700 with code FORYOU7 and $200 off $1300 with code FORYOU8

So on that sentiment of “happy distractions”… MyTheresa is truly our “go-to” source for statement and “splurge-worthy” pieces to refresh your wardrobe. They carry all of our very favorite designers: Ulla Johnson, Gucci, Celine, plus so many more luxury brands. And, our orders always come in the chicest, canary yellow box and are shipped within 24 hours. Curious what we’re crushing on? By now you probably know that color is our favorite…so it should be no surprise that we’re over the moon about this, this, and this. Plus, we can’t resist a fun pattern so we’ve been eyeing this playful Tory Burch midi dress, this printed silk skirt, and this breezy embroidered caftan!

There’s nothing we love more than a versatile piece that can easily go from day to night (we’re keeping that in mind as we pare down on pieces in our own closet currently)… which is why this whimsical white dress, as seen above, with its darling bow and pleating details may just be our new favorite investment piece. It pairs perfectly with sandals for a more casual look, or can be turned around and styled with a heel for cocktail hour! Looking for an easy daytime dress? Snap up this floral cotton midi and wear it for a weekend getaway or lunch date! Have an upcoming wedding to attend? We can’t get enough of this beautiful, sheer tiered gown, perfect for any formal or outdoor event.

And since we can’t resist a beautiful designer handbag… our current obsession is this Gucci shoulder bag! We adore the floral print, bold colors and, of course, the bamboo top-handle! We are also eyeing this Gucci raffia-effect beauty that is just waiting to be taken on a tropical getaway! Scroll down to take a peek at more of our MyTheresa favorites below! Happy shopping, y’all!

Happy Monday y’all! We’re gearing up for a business trip to New York City and couldn’t be more thrilled to be immersed in the energy, attend a few events, and sneak in a little shopping (fingers crossed)! Interested in what we’re packing inside our very favorite luggage? Our favorite cozy cashmere sweater (perfect for layering and under $100), the most flattering pair of jeans, checkered vans, a classic wrap coat, and a cross body bag! And because no trip would be complete with our very favorite carry on Howdy tote… snap yours up here!

Curious about our favorite New York City spots? Some of our go-to’s for lodging include The Marlton, The Lowell, The Maritime, and 11 Howard - you truly can’t go wrong with any of these places! At the very tip top of our wishlist for our next trip to NYC is staying at the storied, The Carlyle hotel. While we’re in the city we always make it a point to stop by Bemelmans Bar, Café Sabarsky, J.G. Melon, and Joseph Leonard for a bite to eat, and TheRealReal and Creel and Gow to shop for treasures. Have any other not-to-be-missed spots in NYC? We’d LOVE to hear via DM on Instagram!

Happy Thursday, y’all! By now you know that chic dresses, pretty patterned blouses, and pieces with a touch of sparkle are always at the tippy top of our wishlist… which is why we’re thrilled to partner with Nordstrom to roundup all of our favorite finds! Nordstrom is truly our go-to source for easy online shopping and no hassle returns (we love that you can even pick up our order in store)! Plus, they carry our favorite designers like Ulla Johnson, Zimmermann, Gucci, and Reformation. And if that isn’t amazing enough, you can even have alterations done in-house (because there’s truly nothing more flattering than a perfectly fitted dress, or top).

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, we can’t help but share some of our favorite date night looks like this metallic midi (as seen above - heads up that it runs a tad small so we recommend sizing up), this vibrant tie front dress (in our signature orangey-red), and this baby pink bow blouse (40% off today) paired with this tiered sequin skirt. Plus, this feminine floral frock (as seen above - we recommend sizing down in this dress) is so perfect for twirling! How sweet is this tiered pleated skirt, this romantic flare dress, and this ruffle lace blouse?!?! Psst… these earrings (under $20) would be so chic for Valentine’s Day!

Lately, we’ve gravitating towards all things animal print - our very favorite neutral! You’ll find this zebra dress and are eyeing this leopard midi skirt (40% off today) and this voile blouse in our carts. To stay warm in these chilly Nashville temperatures we just snapped up this new cashmere sweater (it’s just $98)! And just for fun… take a peek at this statement-making top , this pair of jeans, this tie-neck blouse, this feather trimmed sweater, and this puff sleeve top. Scroll down to take a peek at more of our favorites from Nordstrom below!

Art Favorites!

Happy Tuesday y’all! It’s no secret that we love art because of its transformative powers in a room! In our opinion, there’s truly nothing more impactful than a bold pop of color juxtaposed on a crisp white wall, or an interesting patterned piece against playful wallpaper. Since we’re always asked about our FAVORITE art, we thought we’d do a quick roundup showcasing some pieces from our own home and some that we are currently crushing on!

We are constantly on the hunt for the perfect piece because we think art completes every room! One of our go-to’s? Minted has been a long time favorite source for us because it's super user friendly, easy to customize, and there are so many fun styles to choose from (from petite to statement-making, the options are truly endless)! As if that isn't appealing enough, their quick turnaround time, variety or frame styles and matting options makes your piece as original as can be. In fact, all of the art above is from Minted! Take a peek at a few of our favorites like this graphic piece, this red abstract piece, and this city print! P.S. Lucky for you, they’re offering 20% off framed art prints with the code FRAMES at checkout!

We may be biased but we think that our framed Color Studies available on One Kings Lane are the perfect addition to any space! There’s truly something about color that makes us happy and we think our they are just as great on their own, or mixed into an eclectic grouping! We love seeing how y’all style them in your own home so be sure to tag us on Instagram! And we’re still offering ready-made, unframed 8” x 10” versions of our Color Studies and Alphabet Art available directly on our website (for those of you looking for smaller sizes or needing pieces in a pinch). You can now score our art here!

And, because no art roundup would be complete without mentioning Serena & Lily take a peek at a few of our favorites like this calming blue piece, this graphic Kayce Hughes piece, and this vintage bird print. Scroll down to shop more of our favorites below (and friendly reminder that you can always browse all of our favorite art pieces here)!
