Our Latest Walmart Must-Haves!

October 22, 2021/ Gen Sohr

Happy Friday, y’all! We’re so excited to bring you another cheerful round up of our latest home finds! Since we’re always on the lookout for ways to pack big style into small budgets, Walmart has become one of our favorite sources for high-impact, low-investment treats! These sweet scalloped dishes are our latest trick for elevating the everyday without breaking the bank. They’re perfect for the kind of weekend breakfast set up we have here, and you could even work this soft green hue into festive holiday tables by adding pops of red! It’s so nice to have a set of dishes that’s just as chic for everyday meals as they are special occasions…this collection would style up beautifully at any brunch, baby shower or birthday dinner! And at such a great price point (just $20 for a set of two plates and a bowl!), it’s still affordable to scale up your set to have enough pieces when hosting larger parties. We also adore that this vintage jadeite inspired look pairs as well with our existing antique treasures as with newer scores like this fun bamboo flatware!

Beyond the tabletop, Walmart carries so many cheerful pieces for your kitchen and living spaces! We’re especially smitten with their huge selection of storage solutions, like the woven baskets here and here (try them for containing the sprawl of magazines or bathroom essentials!). We’re gearing up for the holidays right now and enjoying an early start on shopping online from the comfort of home…click here for festive decor inspiration, and browse here for gift ideas!

Did you know that all Walmart orders over $35 come with free two-day shipping and returns? Such a treat during the current climate of delays! You can see all of our newest picks in the gallery below, and check out even more styles for incredible prices at Walmart.com!

Current Crushes!

October 21, 2021/ Gen Sohr

Happy Thursday, y’all! We’re excited to share our latest round up of fashion, home and beauty crushes! If you haven’t shopped our interactive collages before, it’s super easy…you just click or tap on each individual item in the collage above and it links directly to all of the details, or you can click on the product images in the gallery below!

Hill House Home just dropped their holiday collection and we’re loving all of the newest Nap Dresses, fashion finds and coordinating accessories…if you’re obsessed like us, don’t sleep on it, since sizes tend to sell out quickly! Speaking of new releases, the Chairish team has curated all of their favorite recent arrivals into a swoon-worthy October Edit…take a peek at this colorful mixed-media painting, this whimsical set of plates, this rattan elephant side table and this scalloped tortoise mirror! From now through Tuesday night, you can take up to 25% off of indoor and outdoor living room pieces at Serena & Lily…add a fresh layer of style to your space with classic designs like this Chesterfield-inspired sofa, this charming turned-wood chair or this Parsons-style coffee table! Dogwood Hill is celebrating their sixth birthday right now and they’re inviting you to help celebrate by taking 15% off of your order of $50 or more with the code BIRTHDAYBASH21…it’s the perfect opportunity to stock up on festive essentials like wrapping paper, gift tags and holiday cards! For a limited time, Shopbop is offering up to 70% off of select designer pieces, and we’re eyeing this chic color-blocked bag, this party-ready skirt in our go-to red and this puff sleeve smocked dress! So many fun new styles debuted at J.Crew this week, and what’s better still is that lots of them are already on sale – use code SHOPNOW for 30% off of select full-price styles (we’re smitten with this button shoulder sweater, this pretty printed dress and this super chic coat that comes in six colors!) and an extra 50% off of sale items (including this smocked Liberty dress, this chambray bow neck top and this pretty satin shirtdress!). Right now at Ann Taylor, you can take 40% off of full-price clothing with the code REFRESH (check out this tie-neck belted midi, this plaid coat and this floral wrap dress!) and an additional 50-60% off of sale styles (like this puff sleeve shirtdress, this batik midi and this belted floral dress!).

Looking for more of our favorites? You see our new go-to handbag here, fall layering staples here and bedding and bath must-haves here, and don’t forget to visit our Shop Favorites page where we add all of our current obsessions like fall fashion picks, our vintage wishlist, festive holiday favorites, Amazon finds and more! Happy shopping!

Colorful Handbag Favorites!

October 21, 2021/ Gen Sohr

Howdy, y’all! This fall we’ve been leaning on super chic and practical handbags to keep us organized on the go! Meet the Midi Maestra from Senreve, our latest solution for navigating the new normals of work and travel in style! Senreve is reinventing handbags by marrying beauty and utility, and we’re oh-so-smitten with the outcome! We fell in love with the blue embossed leather pictured here, but there are so many colors and textures to choose from (be sure to browse all of the options here!). Though the bags are a dream to look at, they’re so much more than eye candy…each piece is highly functional for everyday life!

We’re especially excited to bring the Midi Maestra along on our next getaway, since so many of its features are designed with travel in mind! Each bag in the Maestra Collection is a four-in-one style that can be worn as a satchel, backpack, tote or crossbody by easily converting the straps. The hands-free backpack option is such a lifesaver when rushing through the airport or treasure hunting at the flea market! Shuffling your essentials from one bag to another is kind of a pain, so we’re always delighted by a go-to that’s perfect for both work and play, and our new Senreve bag is as wonderful for meetings as it is coffee dates. Plus, all of their bags are incredibly lightweight making them even more of a breeze to carry through whatever your day has in store!

You can shop our favorites in the gallery below, and discover all of Senreve’s clever styles here!
