Fall Accessory Must-Haves!

Hi friends! We’re getting into fall fashion mode, which includes finding the perfect shoes, bags and jewelry that we’ll turn to all season! We love wearing jeans with a pretty pair of flats and just ordered this style — we’re thrilled with the quality and how super comfortable they are so now we’re stocking up on other versions like this cork style and this bead detail one since we know these will remain in heavy rotation! You can check out more of our latest shoe favorites here (including the $90 cap-toe Chanel dupes we adore!). We regularly check our favorite source for luxury designer bags at a discount…right now we’re eyeing pretty red bags like this and this to add a pop of color to our new neutral cashmere sweaters. We’ve been particularly drawn to silver jewelry recently…this cuff bracelet is our daily-wear piece, and we just bought these wide half-hoops and these ball drop earrings.

A few great Labor Day weekend sales have extended into today, including markdowns on new J.Crew fall styles like this striped merino sweater, these chic flats and this cable-knit cardigan, and you can take an extra 50% off of already marked down sale styles with the code ‘SALETIME.’ Everything is up to 40% off at Serena & Lily – our wishlist includes these hinged brass sconces, this rattan side table, these wave-edge sheets and this braided wicker mirror. Table linens are 40% off at Amanda Lindroth today with the code ‘ISLAND40’ and tag sale styles are up to 80% off…don’t miss this raffia-wrapped pitcher, these striped napkins and these scalloped shams. Happy shopping!

Getaway-Ready Favorites!

Post sponsored by Saks Fifth Avenue

We’re so excited to explore Tangier later this month and couldn’t resist bringing along a few of our favorite statement-making dresses from Saks! 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, Zimmermann and Freya.

This midi dress has quickly become a new favorite…the colors and embroidery are so pretty (and perfect for Morocco!), and we adore the tie-detail in the back. We love packing wedge espadrilles for trips since they’re super comfortable to walk in while adding a little height, and right now we’re really into silver accessories like these great hoops.

We’re also on the hunt for the perfect travel day outfits – think comfy jeans, cozy cashmere and classic ballet flats. These are also the kind of staple wardrobe pieces we’ll turn to again and again as fall arrives. You can browse lots of our latest favorites in the gallery below and check out even more at saks.com!
