Truffle

Truffle founders Sarah and Maria became besties at business school, and later continued to bond over the joyful chaos of motherhood. What they both craved was a bit of organization (even if only a sense of order in their handbags!) and from there the brand of streamlined, see-through accessories was born! Fun fact: the name Truffle comes from the feeling of biting into a delicious chocolate…the founders equate this deep satisfaction with that of reaching into their bags and knowing exactly what’s in there and where to find it! Be sure to check out their TSA-approved styles… they’re a game changer for gliding through airport security! Click through the gallery below to see our color-happy favorites, and shop the entire Truffle collection here!

Vaughan Pursell Spanjer

We had the pleasure of meeting Sylacauga, Alabama based artist Vaughan Pursell Spanjer through P+P Creative Club, and we’ve just adored keeping up with her work on Instagram ever since! After graduating from Auburn University, Vaughan began her career in New York’s fast-paced fashion scene, later moving back to Alabama with her husband to settle at Pursell Farms (her family’s resort property where she’s also the resident artist!). We’re in love with Vaughan’s fresh take on traditional botanicals, charming portraits and whimsical, fashion-inspired motifs! Don’t miss out on her range of stationery designs available at Dogwood Hill (one of our favorite sources for custom paper goods!), and browse a few of our picks in the gallery below!

Floral Favorites!

February 14, 2022/ Gen Sohr

Happy Monday, y’all! We’re kicking off the week with a round up of our latest floral favorites! We just adore dressing and decorating with flower motifs throughout the year, and we can’t help getting extra excited about them in the run up to spring! Be sure to browse all of our cheerful picks in the gallery below!

Our friends at Dondolo make some of the sweetest floral pieces around, and we’re swooning over everything in their just-launched collection (take a peek at this smocked blue + white toile top and this rose printed puff sleeve dress!). Hunter Bell just added new styles to their spring lineup, and we’re smitten with all of the updated classics like this tie shoulder midi dress, this darling ruffle collar top and this easy-breezy white dress! There are so many great deals going on at J.Crew today, including limited time markdowns on women’s ‘wear now’ styles and additional discounts on sale sweaters and shoes! Right now at Madewell enjoy an extra 20% off sale items…we can’t get enough of their amazing denim (especially on sale!), so don’t sleep on snapping up these ‘perfect vintage jeans!’ Through tomorrow night, Serena & Lily is offering special pricing on outdoor furniture and decor…we love this graphic stripe flat weave rug, this wicker pendant and these rattan lounge chairs (with lots of custom upholstery options!). Happy shopping!

Blue + White Forever!

February 09, 2022/ Gen Sohr

Happy Wednesday, y’all! We’ll never tire of blue + white’s classic appeal, and we always have an eye out for fresh takes on the timeless pairing! In the gallery below, we’ve rounded up all of our latest finds for home + fashion available in this ever-inspiring color combo!

With spring just around the corner we’re beginning to think about outdoor furniture + decor again…and while it might feel a little early to have anything but inside cozy on the brain, this year’s longer lead times make a great case for getting ahead on orders! The wicker-look chairs shown above (available with a bunch of cushion upholstery options, including lots of blue and white!) are one of our all-time favorites, and be sure to check out more of our outdoor must-haves here!

Today all bedding is 20% off at Amanda Lindroth (discount applied at checkout), and we’re in love with these new blue + white prints! Ballard Designs just kicked off their annual winter warehouse sale, with all clearance items up to 60% off, and you can also take up to 20% off of bedding + bath! Until the end of the day, you can take 20% off of upholstered indoor furniture at Serena & Lily, like this contrast border slipper chair and this dreamy patterned bed frame! Through tomorrow, Saks is offering a spend-more-save-more event and this promo can be even combined with select pieces from the designer sale! Over at J.Crew you can enjoy markdowns on ‘wear now styles’ (like this ruffled silk dress, this striped zip up and this Liberty print top!), and take an extra 30-50% off all sale styles! Happy shopping!

What We're Eyeing Right Now!

February 07, 2022/ Gen Sohr

Happy Monday, y’all! Lately we’ve been crushing on go-with-everything neutrals paired with vibrant pinks (you know we just can’t resist a bold pop of color!). Take a peek at all of the finds we’ve rounded up in the gallery below, including a mix of a major deals and splurge-worthy statement pieces!

For a limited time J.Crew is offering an extra 30-50% off of sale items and up to 50% off of women’s ‘weekend-ready styles’ (though we’d happily wear these cozy picks all week long!). Today there’s a spend-more-save-more event going on at Ann Taylor and you won’t want to miss out on this striped tie-waist dress, this plaid puff-sleeve top and these sweet pajamas! Right now all sale pieces are an additional 20% off at Madewell, and we’re loving these leather Chelsea boots, these ‘perfect vintage’ jeans and this cropped cardigan! In the mood for an interiors refresh? All rugs, lighting, mirrors + art, and bedding + bath are 20% off through the end of the day at Ballard Designs, and we’re swooning over everything included in Serena & Lily’s custom upholstery sale, like this darling skirted stool and this block print inspired bed frame! Happy shopping!
