Happy Tuesday, y’all! We’re always looking for simple ways to make every day a little more cheerful and fun, and have been finding the perfect items at great prices at Walmart! These sweet mason jar mugs have now become a part of our daily routine…we use them for iced coffee in the morning and then for water throughout the day, and the reusable red and white striped straws are the perfect colorful touch! They’re also great for entertaining…just write your guests’ names on their mug with a paint pen and wash it off after! Other kitchen favorites from Walmart Home include these striped dish towels, this knife block set with red handles (just $39!) and these silicone and beechwood utensils, and we’ve been finding great storage items for around the house like this seagrass basket set, and even furniture pieces like this classic Parsons-style desk for just $59! We’ve rounded up our latest Walmart Home finds in the collage below (just click on each item for all of the details), and you can see even more styles for amazing prices at Walmart.com!

Friday Favorites!

July 23, 2021/ Gen Sohr

sconces (gifted) / mirrors / vanity / vintage lamp: similar here / lampshade / hand towel (gifted)

Happy Friday, y’all! Do you have a signature color that you just can’t resist? We are forever smitten with bright tomato red, which was exactly what we selected in the beautiful Barnacle Sconce by Hwang Bishop Designs (gifted) when we decided to give our guest bath a little design refresh. This sconce is available in so many ceramic colors (over 40!), plus you can select from brass, bronze and nickel hardware, and various styles of articulation, double lamps and more. We’re so thrilled with how the Quince color and nickel hardware looks in the space!

The latest Hunter Bell collection launched today and this is one you do not want to miss! Sizes tend to sell out quickly (especially in the dresses), so head over to their site now to pick your favorites and be sure to use the code GENHB15 for 15% off of your purchase! There are still styles left in the darling Pamela Munson x Julia Amory collaboration, as well as our happy, pattern-filled P+P x Printfresh collection, but they’re going fast so don’t wait to snap these up!

Sale items at Anthropologie are an additional 40% off this weekend only (including the last few pieces remaining from our print-happy collab!), and it’s the final day of the Serena & Lily pillows and throws sale (ends at 10:59pm CT tonight!). J.Crew swim styles have just been marked down and J.Crew sale items are an extra 50-60% off today with the code SALEONSALE (we’re eyeing this block print bandeau one-piece for $47, this ruffle-sleeve shirt for $30, this voile tie-waist dress for $21 and this puff-sleeve striped dress for $30!). New Ann Taylor styles are 25% off today (we love this flutter-sleeve maxi dress, this tiered puff-sleeve dress and this floral-print midi dress!), and Ann Taylor sale styles are up to 75% off (don’t miss this tiered maxi dress for just $35, these woven leather block heel sandals for $30, this ruffle-shoulder striped dress for $35 and these fun drop earrings for $10!).

The details on the next P+P Creative Club Happy Mail box have been announced and this is another fun one that you won’t want to miss…you can see all of the included items here and get signed up as a Besties member by 8/16 to receive this box!

If you didn’t catch this week’s Current Crushes yet you can see those here, and we just shared our classic gingham favorites here! Be sure you’re also visiting our Shop Favorites page where we add all of our current obsessions like entertaining favorites, warm-weather fashion, Amazon finds and more!

Have a wonderful weekend!
