Sunny Season Favorites!

Post sponsored by Saks Fifth Avenue

We can’t resist a pretty dress with charming details! We always turn to Saks for great dresses and the perfect shoes, bags and accessories from our favorite designers like Johanna Ortiz, Agua by Agua Bendita, Freya and Farm Rio!

We’re still on the lookout for pieces to wear this summer, and this updated take on timeless eyelet stopped us in our tracks! It’s perfect for summer getaways and soirées, and we’re planning to add a blazer over our shoulders as we move towards fall. We added our favorite blue espadrilles (they’re so comfy!) for an unexpected pop of color, but it would also pair well with gold or neutral sandals.

Other darling eyelet styles we’re eyeing right now include this belted dress, this flutter sleeve top and this midi dress. You can browse lots of our latest favorites in the gallery below and check out even more at saksfifthavenue.com!

Check Out This Sale!

Hi friends! We can’t resist a great graphic checked pattern, especially on sale! The MacKenzie-Childs Barn Sale just kicked off today and it includes amazing deals (discounts of up to 60% off) on so many must-have finds!

We love the blue and white Royal Check collection…these hand-painted pieces are perfect for adding a pop of color and pattern in so many spaces, and they bring a little extra joy to our everyday activities! We’re also fans of the black and white Courtly Check collection; you can see how we’ve styled those pieces here!

We absolutely adore this pattern play in our powder room with the combination of the geometric Royal Check pieces with the Citrus Garden botanical wallpaper. The soap dish is actually a small plate that we repurposed! We love that so many MacKenzie-Childs pieces have this kind of versatility…you can take a peek here at how we repurposed a wine cooler as a plant pot!

The Barn Sale is only happening from July 20-24, so don’t sleep on snapping up all of your favorites! We’re sharing lots of our Royal Check picks below and you can shop even more styles and patterns over at mackenzie-childs.com!
