Happy Wednesday, y’all! Each fall we are so eager to bring our favorite jeans back into heavy rotation, as well as all of the tops, sweaters, outerwear and accessories that make the ease of wearing denim such a joy! Like with many past seasons, we’re finding our favorite fall staples right now at Madewell. They have such a great selection of jeans in a variety washes and cuts…you’re sure to find a pair that works with your style and fits beautifully, at a super reasonable price point! Our go-to denim cuts are straight-leg with a slight crop or demi-boot, like these that create flattering lines and a chic peek of ankle! If you’re still on the hunt for your own signature fit, be sure to check out the clever guide at madewell.com that helps compare the features of each style!

With an outfit grounded in great denim, then comes the fun of building cozy layers! Jeans and a pretty blouse is such a fool-proof formula, especially with the added texture of a cardigan or jacket! The hooded cashmere-blend sweater we’re wearing here has become an instant staple for comfort at home, but still offers plenty of polish if you need to run an errand. When we are out and about, Madewell’s handbags are the kind of long-lasting, timeless pieces that go with everything in your wardrobe, and their selection of boots is equal parts practical and stylish! To pull it all together we love adding pieces from Madewell’s jewelry collection, which strike such a lovely balance of classic and whimsy like the wavy hoops worn above (they’d pair with anything from a t-shirt to a cocktail dress!).

Other picks we’re loving right now include this plaid blazer, these sleek heeled boots and a luxuriously soft pajama set! You can find all of our favorites in the gallery below, and so much more fall fashion inspiration at madewell.com!

We're Smitten With These New Releases!

September 28, 2021/ Gen Sohr

Happy Tuesday, y’all! There are so many new collections out this week, and we couldn’t be more excited to share all of the stylish details with you! Pamela Mu nson (who designed the darling gingham tote above), just launched fresh colorways of her much-loved pearl clutches, ‘lady bags’ and woven totes…we particularly adore how versatile the wicker-bottom tote bags are, equally perfect for hitting the beach as for carrying your lunch and laptop to the office. The latest earring styles from our Nashville friends at Hunter Blake feel so ready for fall outfits with their green and gold color scheme, and we’re especially crushing on these dotted discs and these emerald resin hoops!

If you’ve been meaning to update a wardrobe staple or two, be sure to check out all of the new styles that just landed at J.Crew today…we can never resist a classic turtleneck sweater (that comes in11 colors!), a pretty Liberty top, a puff-sleeve dress or a wool coat in our favorite coral! We’re swooning over every recent addition to Tory Burch’s fall collection, especially each piece with a variation of these block prints (like this tie waist button dress, this bow blouse, this jacket and this matching skirt!). We always love Hunter Bell’s chic, yet playful approach to dresses and separates, and this season is one our favorites to date…and be sure to use code GENHB15 for 15% off your order! In case you missed the news in Monday’s blog post, we’re still so thrilled about the launch of Nicola Bathie’s collaboration with Antonio Melani at Dillard’s…if you’re obsessed with something too, don’t hesitate to snap it up since sizes and styles are selling out quickly!

Creative Club Besties members will be receiving their new Happy Mail Boxes any day now (if not already!), and we’ve still got a few spots remaining for the October box if you’re not a member yet…take a peek at all of the treats and then get your name on the list here!

Looking for more of our favorites? Check out our latest Current Crushes round up, our bath + bedding must-haves, our party-ready looks and our affordable tabletop and home picks…and don’t forget to visit our Shop Favorites page where we add all of our current obsessions like our vintage wishlist, fall fashion favorites, Amazon finds and more! Happy shopping!

Bath + Bedding Obsessions!

Howdy, friends! We just adore simple ways to elevate everyday rituals, and Bloomingdale’s has always been a trusted source for those treats that bring a little luxury into our morning and bedtime routines! Few things are as soothing as wrapping up in a fluffy towel after a hot shower, and lately we’ve been loving this chic monogram collection! And when the clock isn’t ticking to get dressed and rush out the door, we relish in any spare moment spent lounging around in this super-soft terry robe. We also love the idea of keeping a few of these robes in our guest rooms…it’s such a thoughtful and easy way to pamper your visitors!

A well made bed brings us so much joy, and Bloomingdale’s carries an amazing selection of linens that perfectly blend our love for color and comfort! Matouk is one of our all-time favorite bedding brands, and their approach to quality and design detail is truly something special…we’re currently swooning over this print and this bold take on scallops! John Robshaw, another designer we’re perpetually smitten with, makes the most charming sheets, quilts and pillows that are perfect for adding pops of pattern + personality!

If you’ve seen this lighted mirror and wondered if it’s really worth it, our answer is a resounding yes! It’s cordless, dimmable and magnifies up to 5x, making formerly tedious tasks (like applying eyeliner!) such a breeze, and even includes a magnetic phone holder to help you capture the perfect selfie or look your best on those zoom calls! Of course it’s a staple at home, but it’s also a lifesaver on the road (when there’s nothing more frustrating than not being able to see in a strange bathroom, wasting precious sightseeing minutes!), since the full mirror is lightweight and travel-friendly, or you can detach the circular magnifying mirror to slip right into your makeup bag.

Happy Friday, y’all! Graphic blue and white patterns are one of the quickest ways to our hearts (as you may have already guessed!), and that’s just one of the reasons why we’re excited to share our latest round up of home picks from Walmart! We’ve found so many new things in our favorite colors and materials (like wicker, bamboo and ceramics)…at prices that won’t break the bank! For instance, a four-piece set of the playful plates we styled here is just $19, and you can complete the look with coordinating bowls and mugs while still ringing up under $60! These pieces are from the Gap Home collection, and they’re such a fun addition to our everyday meals…we love setting the table with a few of the different prints at each seat a for whimsical, mismatched vibe!

Outfitting a kitchen that’s ready for anything from a fall baking project to an impromptu cocktail party is no small task…fortunately Walmart Home is an amazing source for checking off your wishlist without maxing out your budget! We’re big fans of their extensive selection of clever storage solutions and cooking gadgets. Beyond the dining table, Walmart offers lots of easy refreshes for every room in your home…be sure check out this classi c jute rug, this woven rattan pendant, these chic cane boxes and all the color variations of this elephant stool!

Did you know that all orders over $35 come with free two-day shipping and returns? Just the ticket for a stress-free home update! You can see our latest favorites below, and check out even more styles for incredible prices at Wa lm art.com!
