Friday Favorites!

Happy Friday, friends! We’re looking forward to a relaxing weekend spent in comfy finds like the darling dress above (stripes + smocking + puff sleeves…yes, please!). This style and so many other lounging must-haves are included in Lake pajamas’ annual sale, but the deals ends tonight so don’t sleep on your favorites!

Everything is 20% off (including sale styles!) at Serena & Lily this weekend, so we’re picking out new counter stools (perhaps these pretty blue ones?!) and a few new outdoor pillows that are great for an easy spring-ready patio makeover. This is the perfect time to order our favorite outdoor furniture so it can arrive just in time for patio weather AND you can save 20%!

Sale styles at Boden are an extra 20% off for the next two days with the code T7M4…we’re eyeing this denim shirt dress, this patterned one-piece and this top with the prettiest details! Don’t miss 25% off of lots of new spring styles at J.Crew (we love this puff-sleeve Liberty print top, this raffia and beaded necklace and this one-shoulder swimsuit!) and you can take 20% off $250+ at Saks (take a peek here at our latest Saks favorites that are perfect for a sunny getaway!). Have a wonderful weekend!

Sunny Getaway Wishlist!

We’re daydreaming about sunny beach getaways! With a wedding weekend in Harbour Island just around the corner, we’ve been on the hunt for evening party looks as well as daytime beach essentials, and we always turn to Saks when we’re checking off our vacation packing list! We’ve got colorful, print-happy dresses and great swimwear and coverups on our wishlist, plus the perfect shoes, bags, hats and jewelry to complete the look! We’re always keeping an eye out for the newest releases from our favorite designers like Johanna Ortiz, Agua by Agua Bendita and Zimmermann, which we love being able to find all in one place at Saks. And better yet, today you can save 20% on purchases of $250+ when you use the code FORYOU at checkout!

Right now we’re oh-so-smitten with this blue and white dress – the print, puff sleeves and cutouts are so great, and we absolutely love the raffia fringe hem! Johanna Ortiz dresses are a splurge but we think they’re so special and are pieces we’ll wear forever.

You know we just can’t resist a great orange-red dress, and this oversized ruffle detail is right up our alley! It pairs so well with these nude block heel sandals that are great for vacation packing since they’ll match everything! These YSL Tribute slides are another one of our go-to travel staples since they’re so versatile, and the patent leather holds up really well (we’ve worn the same pair forever!) so we think they’re worth the investment. We’re eyeing this new darker brown version as well, and we’ve got these Valentino studded pretties on our sandal wishlist too!

You can browse our latest resort-ready finds in the gallery below and check out even more must-haves at saks.com!

Neutral Must-Haves!

Hi friends! We’re always on the lookout for wardrobe pieces and home finds that are versatile staples — they’re great go-tos on their own or as a neutral base paired with our signature colorful touches!

Right now we are so smitten with these new pieces from Hunter Bell! This top has the prettiest ruching and lace details with buttons all the way up the back, and it’s so perfect paired with this floral and stripe print skirt and our favorite new braided raffia slides (just $35!), this chic bag and the $10 wooden hoop earrings you’ll want to wear with everything. Be sure to check out the whole first drop of the new Hunter Bell spring collection here and use the code ‘GENHB15’ for 15% off!
