Warm Weather Dreaming!

Happy Monday, y’all! Spring can’t get here soon enough…we’re already dreaming of warm weather and sunny days! Dresses are our go-to as spring approaches, and today we’re sharing our latest obsessions at Nordstrom, where we’re able to find so many of our favorite designers in one spot, like Ulla Johnson, Johanna Ortiz and Tory Burch!

We’re pairing colorful solids and prints with the prettiest sandals, bags and accessories, in a mix of high-low finds like we always love. Right now we’re lusting after woven leather pieces by Bottega Veneta…and we’re getting our fix in the meantime with these chic heels in five color options for under $100! These slides are one of our investment-worthy favorites (which we own and wear all the time!), but we’re also loving this wallet-friendly alternative we just snapped up in the perfect warm natural hue…they’re made so well and look much more expensive than the $78 price tag (they run a little large so we recommend sizing down by a half-size). We’re also major fans of these sunglasses, and are loving this similar style for just a quarter of the price!

It’s a great time to start scoping out straw hats…we find that sizes sell out in many of our favorite styles once the warm temps start to hit! Right now a few hats we’re crushing on include this and this (both for under $100!). Another thing we like to do as the seasons change is to swap out our fragrance…our signature springtime scent is Orange Blossom by Jo Malone!

We love that shipping and returns are so easy with Nordstrom, and if you live near a store location you can place your order online and safely grab it from the store with contactless curbside pickup! Happy shopping!

Madewell’s Secret Stock Sale just started, with 70% off many styles (we’re loving this puff-sleeve top, this wool coat, and this dress for just $50!), and Serena & Lily’s Dine-In Event is under way, with sale pricing on the prettiest dining tables, chairs, stools, consoles and more!

We’re loving heart motifs on loungewear and pajamas (this sweatshirt, these cropped joggers, this PJ set!), as well as cute sweaters like this and this (both 50% off with the code AHHH). We’ve found the sweetest heart accessories (these earrings, this bracelet, these rings!), and our LOVE Y’ALL totes and heart art prints (in 8 fun color combos!) make such great presents!

Cozy in Color!

Happy Wednesday, y’all! We’re smitten with cozy and colorful pieces right now…we think that surrounding yourself with color is such a great mood-lifter and always makes us feel better! Sale items at J.Crew are an extra 50% off today and full price styles are 30% off, so we’re eyeing this parka and this crewneck sweater (love the button-shoulder detail!), and the Tory Burch Semi-Annual Sale deals just got even better, with an extra 30% off sale items with the code EXTRA…right now we’re crushing on this merino wool crewneck and this hand-embroidered sweater! Today’s Madewell sale includes a bunch of comfy sweaters, fleece pullovers and these chic sunglasses we’re loving right now (such a steal!) that are all an extra 40% off with the code GIGANTIC, and you can get an extra 50% off sale items plus buy one, get one free deals on sale styles at LOFT (today only!) with the code FUN…we’re loving this heart sweater and these PJ pants that are so perfect for Valentine’s Day!

After much research, we recently found our new favorite exercise (and lounging!) leggings...they’re high-waisted and fully seamless, and we went with navy as a less expected alternative to black that will still match both bright and neutral pieces on top. We’re pairing them with pretty sweaters and fleece pullovers and our go-to checkered sneakers, and then we love to throw this wrap coat over top for grocery store runs to feel a little more pulled together!

Color Crush!

Happy Monday, y’all! Right now we’re crushing on minty green paired with shades of rust, peach and ivory, and we’ve rounded up some of our favorite finds below, like this silk skirt and matching blouse in the prettiest print, these darling jade floral earrings, and this embroidered dress by Johanna Ortiz (one of our favorite splurge-worthy designers) that is almost half off the original price! Sale items at J.Crew are an extra 40% off today with the code BIGSALE, plus many cashmere styles have just been marked down…we’re eyeing this ruffled popover top, this coat and these colorful (and super-soft!) crewneck sweaters. The Tory Burch Semi-Annual Sale includes an extra 25% off sale items with the code EXTRA, and some of our favorite pieces like this pretty silk and lurex dress have just been marked down! Sale styles at Madewell are an additional 40% off right now, including these sunglasses that look like our designer faves but are just $30 and our absolute favorite, most flattering jeans that are on sale for just $54 (fit note: we think they run a little on the large side). We’re obsessing over the newest pieces at Serena & Lily (this scalloped side table is a dream!), and a few of our favorite sale items are still available, like these gingham sheets and these counter stools!
