Our Print Happy Collaboration with Anthropologie!

January 29, 2021/ Gen Sohr

Happy Friday, y’all! We are SO thrilled to officially introduce everyone to our Print Happy collaboration with Anthropologie! It has been such a fun and exciting opportunity to design a collection filled with color and print and everything that brings us so much joy!

The Print Happy collection brings fun color and pattern to everyday items like soap and hand sanitizer and things that we adore like stationery and games. We just LOVE great packaging so that was important part of the design process and we like that many containers can be reused and repurposed…for example, the notecard boxes will be perfect for storing photos and trinkets once you’ve written all of your sweet notes, and the glass hand soap and lotion bottles can be refilled and reused long after the original contents run out. Speaking of the hand soap and lotion — they are some of our favorite items in the collection, and the mint scent is inspired by a scent we fell in love with while in Portugal…travel is such a big source of inspiration in everything we do!

We believe in giving great gifts to spread the love to all of our favorite people! So many pieces in the collection include xo’s and hearts…you know that we love these charming icons all year, but they’re especially perfect with Valentine’s Day just around the corner!

It’s so hard to pick favorites, but right now we’re especially smitten with the boxed soaps (so pretty on the bathroom counter!), the storage boxes and file folders since we’re on an organization kick, and these colorful pens and journals are making our work day a little more fun! We also absolutely love our family game nights so the playing cards and checkers are seeing a lot of action!

We hope you all adore the collection as much as we enjoyed creating it! Be sure to tag us and Anthropologie in your photos of the collection so we can share them too!

Happy Friday, y’all! We’re getting so inspired for this new year and have been busy writing out our goals and using our “mood screen” (shown above!) to pin up items that spark joy and creativity! One amazing thing that 2021 has brought is the launch of our new collaboration with Anthropologie…we are SO thrilled that the products are starting to roll out on their website and we hear that so many more pieces will be available by the end of next week, so stay tuned right here for more exciting updates! We’ve been non-stop wearing our new Dondolo dress (shown above!) that was featured in this month’s P+P Creative Club Happy Mail box and are very excited to share that the dress will also be available to purchase online in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out for that! In the meantime, here are all of the darling Dondolo pieces we’re loving right now!

There are so many amazing things we’ve been crushing on this week and we’re sharing them all below, like the prettiest tabletop pieces, fun items to get help you organized, the sweetest dresses and caftans that have us lusting for spring (and you can see more of our warm-weather wishlist here!), plus some splurge-worthy jewelry that we can’t stop dreaming about! The Secret Stock Sale is under way at Madewell with tons of items marked down by up to 70%, and sale items at Anthropologie are an additional 50% off right now! As always, we’re stocking up on the best sale items at J.Crew, and we’re constantly checking the new sale markdowns on amazing designer pieces that are added daily at MatchesFashion, Mytheresa and Net-a-Porter!

We’ve been in the mood to spruce up the house with some new touches…pillows and lighting are super easy and quick ways to transform your space (we’re loving this pattern, these scalloped details, and can’t believe this lamp is under $20!), and this weekend you can get 20% off on lighting, pillows and other finishing touches at One Kings Lane, so be sure to check that out! And of course we’re always hunting for the best vintage treasures…right now we’re snapping up unique cocktail glasses, trinket trays and demitasse spoons!

If you’re like us and getting into Valentine’s Day gift-buying mode, be sure to check out our new Gifts Under $100 and Gifts for Guys roundups with lots of fun ideas for the sweetest presents to give and receive, and our LOVE Y’ALL totes, heart art prints (in 8 color combos!) and more fun P+P products are 20% off this week, so it’s the perfect time to snap them up for all of your favorite people (just be sure to order by Feb. 3 to ensure delivery in time for V-Day!).

Valentine's Day Gifts for Guys!

January 21, 2021/ Gen Sohr

Happy Thursday, y’all! We’re excited to continue our series of Valentine’s Day gift guides (if you missed our first one yesterday, check it out here!), and today is all about gifts for guys…you can click on each item in the collage above for all of the details!

You can’t go wrong with traditional go-to’s like these cute heart boxers (on sale for $7 today!) and great-smelling grooming products (we love this soap and this shaving cream!), and cozy clothes are a perfect pick these days (we’re loving these joggers, this pullover, these socks!). We adore gifting stylish takes on useful everyday items like wallets and keyrings, and the latest tech items are sure to please, like these amazing headphones that come in five color combos! Vintage barware makes such a great gift — we’re obsessed with hunting for vintage cocktail glasses, flasks, shakers, jiggers and bottle openers! We also love giving personalized gifts…right now we’re eyeing this leather phone case (which we use as well!), this charging block and this garment bag, and we also couldn’t resist including a few splurges, like this indestructible luggage (which we gifted to Benjamin for Christmas and he absolutely loves…wish we had invested in this sooner!), the most beautiful watch, and Benjamin’s pick for “forever loafers”!

January 20, 2021/ Gen Sohr

Happy Wednesday, y’all! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and we are so excited to kick off our new series of gift guides this week, starting with our favorite presents to give and receive that are all under $100! These are great for your girlfriends, the kids’ teachers, and anyone else you want to send some love to this year (and of course a little something for yourself too!)…you can click on each item in the collage above for all of the details!

Our LOVE Y’ALL totes, heart art prints (in 8 fun color combos!) and more fun P+P products are 20% off this week, so it’s the perfect time to snap them up for all of your favorite folks (just be sure to order by Feb. 3 to ensure delivery in time for V-Day!). Your pattern and color-loving pals will adore the pieces from our new Anthropologie collaboration, like mini matchbook nail files, xoxo hand soap sets and mini hand sanitizer bottles in the prettiest carrying cases…more styles from the collab will continue to roll out on their website so you’ll want to keeping checking here! Right now we’re loving the darling headbands and face masks in the matching print from our latest dress collaboration with Dondolo, and we’re always smitten with the idea of personalized gifts like this change purse, this cheese board and this jewelry case! We’re also crushing on heart and love motifs in unexpected colors like green (this hat, these socks!), and of course the cutest cards (we adore that these are so fun and a little different from your typical Valentine!).
