Festive Finds!

/

Hi friends! We’re feeling festive with the holidays just around the corner and can’t wait to put our go-to entertaining tips and tricks to use, like embellishing a simple store-bought or shipped cake with holiday candies for a fun, party-ready touch! Our favorite glassware and serving pieces bring in a happy pop of color…just add a velvet ribbon bow for even more celebratory style! These paper ornaments are a new staple that we’re adding everywhere this year – on the Christmas tree, on top of gifts, and even around a bottle of Champagne for the perfect hostess gift (and better yet, they’re on sale today so stock up now before they’re gone!). Our favorite holiday candle is also majorly marked down right now (under $20!) so you’ll want to snap these up (they’re great to have on hand for last-minute gifts), and you can see more of our must-haves for the season here. And of course we can’t resist a bit of sparkle in our holiday wardrobe! We love pairing a vintage embellished duster (like the one worn above) with jeans for an unexpected party look…we found a few other vintage favorites here, here and here, and we’re crushing on this ruffled tulle style! If you’re on the hunt for fancier event attire, don’t miss the deals on these darling dresses (we especially adore this oversized bow shoulder detail!). We’re eyeing this paillette-covered bag for Christmas parties and NYE (it’s 50% off today!) and these colorful rhinestone earrings are so fun…be sure to check out all of the latest J.Crew markdowns here (up to 50% off!).

Celebration-Ready Favorites!

Post sponsored by Saks Fifth Avenue

Will you be spending the holidays in the snow or the sun?! We’re excited to head south for a tropical getaway and are on the hunt for the perfect looks! Saks is our go-to for pretty dresses and the best shoes, bags and accessories from our favorite designers like Johanna Ortiz, Agua by Agua Bendita, Aquazurra and Zimmermann, and right now so many amazing styles are included in the Saks Cyber Monday event that kicked off early today! You can use the code CYBER23SF at checkout to get $50 off for every $200 spent on included styles (up to $500 in savings!), plus 15% off beauty.

This one-shoulder dress is a new favorite…the mix of prints is so fun and we love that it can be dressed up with a heel (like these in an unexpected pop of red) or you can go with more casual wedge espadrille or even a flat sandal (these are our longtime favorite flat slides). Other finds we’re eyeing right now include this floral silk maxi dress, these gold slingbacks, this fringe-detail eyelet dress and this silver clutch, and we just ordered this pretty lace midi dress in our favorite red!

You can browse lots of our latest celebration-ready favorites in the gallery below and check out even more at saks.com!
