Ready for Sunny Days!

/

Hi friends! We’re so thrilled that warm spring weather is finally here and we’re busy finding the perfect fashion picks for the season! Designer Kristopher Brock just launched an exclusive collaboration with AQUA at Bloomingdale’s, which is full of pretty white pieces, sweet florals and versatile raffia shoes that are sure to become your new go-tos!

A great white dress is the kind of staple we lean on all spring and summer, and we adore the drama of this one’s maxi length and the cutout back details. It’s made of cotton poplin so it’s machine washable and easy to pack for sunny getaways — wear it over your swimsuit during the day or dress it up for evenings out! We love it on its own or pair it with this crocheted cardigan over your shoulders.

The collection’s raffia shoes are available in three styles that will have you covered for virtually every outfit and occasion…we’re showing the criss cross heeled slide here, and there’s also a pointed toe heeled mule style and a flat slide that we love.

We’re sharing our favorites from the AQUA x Kristopher Brock collaboration below, and you can see the full collection now over at bloomingdales.com!

Hi friends! We just can’t resist a graphic check print, whether it’s around the house or in our wardrobe, and we’re sharing all our latest favorites with you today! We’re especially excited about the relaunch of MacKenzie-Childs’ Courtly Check collection, which was inspired by the distinctive black and white floors of Westminster Abbey. We worked these fun pieces into springtime updates of both our bathroom vanity and kitchen – who says organization can’t be beautiful?!

We always adore a happy pattern and Courtly Check’s black and white check is so classic and versatile…it really works in virtually any space! We also love that so many of the styles can do double-duty – we even used the kitchen utensil holder as a vase on the bathroom vanity and the wine cooler as a plant pot in the living room! Right now you can use the code ‘GEN15’ for 15% off of your MacKenzie-Childs purchases through 8am CT on 4/14/23, so it’s the perfect time to snap up all of your favorites!

Mixing Courtly Check pieces into our open kitchen storage was such a quick and easy way to refresh the look of the whole space. These statement serving pieces will be the perfect addition to upcoming spring and summer dinner parties!
