Sparkle & Metallic Must-Haves!

/

Hi friends! We loved this visual inspiration from our last newsletter so much that we decided it deserved an entire blog post! Right now we’re crushing on gold, silver and a bit of sparkle for fall, and not just for a night out! We adore a touch of sparkle or metallics used in unexpected ways for any occasion, like silver ballet flats paired with your favorite jeans, a cashmere sweater and a classic bone cuff. Or this sparkly sweater vest with worn-in khakis and gold jewelry. We’re very into tonal looks this season — think shades of denim and blue accented with silver accessories, or khaki and cream paired with gold.

You can save 30% today on lots of the newest J.Crew styles when you sign into your member account (or sign up for a free account here if you don’t have one yet)…our cart includes this classic chambray shirt, this pajama set, this striped poplin shirtdress and this chic boatneck tee. Serena & Lily outdoor styles are up to 50% off right now, so it’s the perfect time to snap up the outdoor furniture and accessories you’ve been eyeing (the quality is great so you’ll be able to enjoy them for many years to come!). The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends Sunday, so be sure to stock up on our must-have beauty deals like this eyeshadow stick trio, this skincare set and this duo of our favorite eyeliners. Hunter Bell sale styles are an additional 20% off today when you use the code ‘SUMMERSALE’ at checkout…don’t miss this mixed stripe midi dress, this plaid smocked top and this tie-shoulder sundress in our favorite red. Happy shopping!

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!
