Guest Room Refresh with Serena & Lily!

September 22, 2021/ Gen Sohr

embroidered sheets / throw pillow / rattan bed / side table

Happy Wednesday, y’all! If you’ve been following our interiors adventures for a while, you know that we’re long-time Serena & Lily fans…their timeless, heirloom-quality pieces always create the most beautiful (and comfortable!) design foundations for every room. What’s even more exciting is that so many of our favorites are on sale right now during the Serena & Lily Fall Design Event, which is an amazing opportunity to save 20% on furniture, decor, lighting, bedding and more! Use the code NEWSEASON at checkout for access to store-wide markdowns (exceptions apply for art and sale items)…discounts this good tend to cause sell-outs on many of their styles, so be sure to snap up your favorites at these sale prices before they’re gone!

We’re major fans of all things rattan, and this sale is full of fresh takes on our most-loved material…we adore the warmth and texture that this lamp, this light fixture and this table lend to any room. And did you know that there are other amazing finds made in the same style as the rattan bed in our guest room, like this matching nightstand, this mirror and this bookshelf!

Pencil+PaperCo_JessicaAmersonPhotography-6692.jpg

We (ideally) spend a third of our lives asleep, so it’s probably no surprise that we believe in the investment of great bedding…life’s just too short for scratchy sheets! Luckily, Serena & Lily makes incredibly soft sheets that only get better with use. We’re so smitten with the embroidery on this set that matched the existing pink tones in our guest room perfectly! Ready for a charming departure from plain white percale? Take a look at the playful detailing on this scalloped style, these striped and ruffled ones and this chic chain motif. We’re always feeling happiest in a bed piled up with prints…blankets, duvets, quilts and shams are all wonderful for adding more color, pattern and contrast! We’ve rounded up lots of our latest favorites for a bedroom refresh below, and you can see even more at serenaandlily.com!

Party-Ready Looks!

September 20, 2021/ Gen Sohr

We adore a ball skirt paired with a cashmere sweater and tailored jacket!

Happy Monday, y’all! We finally have a few exciting events on the horizon as weddings and evening soirees resume, and we couldn’t be more thrilled about getting dressed up! Tracking down that perfect party dress and the complementing accessories can be a challenge, so we’ve rounded up a trio of swoon-worthy looks for the special occasions on your calendar this season, and you can always find even more of our party favorites here! We love browsing Etsy for unique vintage evening wear and clutches (try searching with keywords to find what you’re envisioning, like red, sparkly and embroidered!). J.Crew has long been a reliable source for our outfit-boosting embellishments (like these statement earrings and these classic slingbacks) and right now you can use code MOREFALL to take $25 off $100+, $50 off $150+ and $100 off purchases over $250! If you’re eyeing the latest evening wear styles from Saks, be sure to create an account and enjoy 10% off your order with code ACOUNTSF. A bold red lip is the perfect way to pull an evening look together…you can find our go-to hue here (in ‘chili pepper’), and don’t forget to shop all of our beauty favorites here!

We love a chic, classic dress paired with an element of surprise, namely in our favorite pop of red! These whimsical stars are so fun, or go with a timeless clutch like this. Pearl accessories and beautifully made black pumps last a lifetime without ever going out of style!

It’s impossible not to have fun in a colorful, print-happy floral gown! We love to keep an eye out for amazing designer evening wear at the Outnet from favorites like Valentino and Carolina Herrera. Add bright shoes, earrings and a playful clutch to bring it all together!

We’re crushing on this enchanting combination of sequins and satin details (how darling is that collar?!). Pair it with a beautiful neutral shoe that will be perfect with so many other outfits, plus a charming pair of gold earrings and a colorful clutch in a simple shape!

Friday Favorites!

September 17, 2021/ Gen Sohr

aluminum luggage / color lover tote / monogrammed luggage tag / vintage lamps…similar here and here!

Happy Friday, y’all! Have you ever come across an amazing vintage find while traveling and just couldn’t return home without it? That’s exactly what happened to us last weekend in Chicago with this enormous pair of vintage Frederick Cooper brass lamps (pictured above, snuggled in with the rest of our luggage en route to the airport)! Southwest Airlines was super accommodating with our thrifting madness…we carefully wrapped the bases to check in as oversized baggage, and hand carried the ultrasuede shades from gate to gate! If you’d prefer one-of-a-kind vintage lighting safely delivered right to your door, check out all of these gorgeous Frederick Cooper pieces available right now on Chairish! And while you’re there, don’t miss our latest round up of finds as part of the Chairish Tastemaker series!

In other fun news, did you hear about the launch of our P+P x Sugar Paper 2022 Planners? We are so thrilled to combine our love of color and pattern with Sugar Paper’s organization expertise…read all about the creative process here and snap up your own agenda here!

We’re so smitten with the new colorful, stripe-happy shirt collection by Clare V. and Steven Alan, and we love that each bold button-up is made from upcycled materials! The number of great sales going on this weekend has already gotten us in the mood for a Saturday morning spent lounging in our pjs while browsing for a treat (or two!). Speaking of pajamas, Printfresh just released a new sapphire blue colorway we adore, and while supplies last they’re including a free matching eye mask with your order of Bagheera styles over $100! If you’re still eyeing something from J.Crew’s summer collection, now’s the time to add it to your wardrobe with major savings; use code SALETIME for an extra 50% off sale styles (we love this Liberty-print dress, this pink puff-sleeve midi, this silk twill blazer and this patch-pocket striped dress), and enjoy special pricing on ‘fall essentials’ (like this smocked puff-sleeve plaid dress, this quilted jacket and this tie-waist satin shirtdress)! There are also so many incredible deals during Ann Taylor’s ‘friends of Ann VIP event’…use code ANNVIP for 40% off your purchase (we’re smitten with this belted floral dress, these versatile leather booties, this cheerful trench and this red dress with a tie neck detail), and text subscribers can take an extra 20% off of sales items (not on their messaging list yet? sign up here!). Going on now through Monday, Ballard Designs is offering up to 20% off indoor and outdoor furniture, rugs and drapery, and lots of our favorites are included in the sale like these side chairs, this sisal rug and these garden stools!

If you didn’t catch this week’s Current Crushes yet you can check those out here, and we’re sharing our J.Crew fall finds here and colorful classics with Talbots here!
