We’re always on the lookout for new sources for cheerful fashion finds, and British-based brand Boden is just our cup of tea! We can’t resist their mix of bold, color-happy statement pieces and all-season staples you’ll reach for again and again! Here, you’ll find all of our newest Boden favorites for summer and tips for how we’ll continue to style them this fall!

We adore the throw on and go ease of colorful dresses during the warmer months, and then when the weather cools down they become the perfect foundation for layered fall outfits! Right now we’re loving our new dresses with fun heels and earrings, but in a few months we’re looking forward to adding a chic blazer or cardigan! Boden’s separates transition just as effortlessly…these pattern-happy pants will look just as stylish with a sweater or jacket as they do with this darling scalloped blouse! When it’s time to tuck away our sandals for the season, we can’t wait to reach for these charming loafers (we absolutely believe in wearing a bit of raffia year round!).

You can find more of our latest finds in the gallery below, and shop the whole collection at Boden.com!

French-Inspired Entertaining Favorites!

August 10, 2022/ Gen Sohr

We’re always looking for ways to take the stress out of entertaining, and one of our latest tricks is ordering a show-stopping treat online! Traditional French soufflés are notoriously difficult to make, yet they’re always the life of the party. The solution? Having a ready-to-bake one delivered right to your door from Fab Fête, our new favorite source for delicious handmade cheese soufflés that are completely fool-proof to prepare and serve! By cutting a few tedious corners in the kitchen, we’re able to get to the fun stuff (like setting the table!) much sooner! If you haven’t already, be sure to check out our P+P x Dondolo tabletop collection…all of the pieces mix + match wonderfully with each other, and are also the perfect counterpart to vintage or heirloom treasures you might have around the house!

Whether you’re having friends over for cocktail hour or a sit down dinner, classic soufflés are perfect for hors d'oeuvres or as side dish with the main meal. Here, I’ve served it with baguettes, good butter (don’t skip a sprinkle of flaky Maldon salt), simple greens tossed in olive oil + lemon, boiled new potatoes and carrots with thyme + sliced almonds. I think it would also pair beautifully with a roast chicken (or pick up your favorite rotisserie chicken!) and blanched green beans with shallots + fresh herbs! For a decadent appetizer spread, Fab Fête recommends surrounding the soufflé with crusty baguettes, rustic crackers, sliced green apples, strawberries and more yummy cheeses (because there’s never such a thing as too much cheese!). For me, no meal is complete without dessert, and again I look to the French for inspiration…Joy Macarons (also available to shop online via express shipping!) are the happiest possible way I can imagine ending a dinner party. I mean, who wouldn’t be delighted by this tower of colorful confections?!

Since we just can’t resist combining fashion and entertaining finds here at P+P, we’ve rounded our favorite quintessential ‘French girl’ wardrobe and beauty staples too! Not only are these pieces eternally chic, they’re such easy + comfortable go-tos for ingredient shopping, cooking and hosting! Plus, don’t miss all of our latest tabletop obsessions in the gallery below!

Current Crushes!

August 10, 2022/ Gen Sohr

A few hints of fall are popping up over at J.Crew, and lots of these new arrivals are up to 50% off today (we love this chic turtleneck sweater, this v-neck eyelet top, this oversized cashmere wrap and these demi boot crop jeans!), plus enjoy an extra 50% off sale styles and an additional 70% off sale swim! Until the end of the day tomorrow, take an extra 20% off select designer sale purchases at Saks, and from now through the weekend, take 25% off sitewide at Talbots! Madewell is offering 25% off ‘pre-fall faves’ (including their amazing denim!), and we’re also eyeing this quilted eyelet midi dress, this drapey puff sleeve dress and this plaid ruffled dress! Right now you can enjoy 20% off + free shipping on in-stock picks at Ballard Designs, like our go-to scalloped edge mirror, this classic sisal rug and these colorful garden stools! It’s the last day to take 20% off all custom upholstery at Serena & Lily, and we’re smitten with this blue + white armchair, this pretty patterned sofa and this versatile bench! Don’t miss out on Weezie’s annual online warehouse sale, where you can enjoy big savings on our favorite bath towels, robes and more!
