We’re eyeing so many pretty pieces from Tory Burch today, where you can save 25% on $200+ and 30% on $500+…our cart includes this silk shirtdress, this classic cardigan, this fun pickleball set and this cozy zip-front fleece jacket.

Layered Jewelry Looks!

/

Post sponsored by Sequin Jewelry

We’ve found the perfect jewelry pieces to complement all of our favorite fall sweaters, and of course you know we can’t resist supporting fellow women-owned brands! New York-based Sequin jewelry creates heritage-quality fashion jewelry made by hand in the U.S.A. from 22K gold-plated brass with real pearls, crystals and semi-precious stones, in styles that are perfect for layering and customizing. We adore that the designs draw inspiration from nature, found objects and vintage styles, and the creation process is so interesting! Sequin’s creative director Tara Malkovich starts with a hand-drawn sketch for each metallic jewelry design, which is then rendered in clay and ultimately brought to life in metal by using the ancient lost-wax casting technique that is typically used for sculptures and fine jewelry. This process adds an element of organic imperfection and personality to each piece.

We’re forever fans of pearls and Sequin’s fall collection has so many beautiful pieces that are designed to be layered and customized with detachable charms. We’ve styled both white and blue pearls together, which we’re loving for fall with neutral cashmere and jeans.

We love the versatility of this convertible pearl necklace that can be worn long, doubled up, layered or even wrapped as a bracelet, and the toggle clasp allows you to attach different charms like this large baroque pearl or this pretty lapis bead. So fun! And we couldn’t resist these darling pavé star stud earrings and these whimsical ribbon-inspired gold hoops…they’ve quickly become our everyday staples!

We’re sharing our latest Sequin favorites below and you can see even more at sequin-nyc.com…be sure to use code ‘PENCIL20’ during checkout to save 20% sitewide!

Party-Ready Favorites!

Post sponsored by Saks Fifth Avenue

With fall and winter weddings and other fun formal events and holiday parties coming up on the calendar, we’re on the hunt for the perfect looks! Saks is our longtime go-to for pretty party dresses and the best shoes, bags and accessories from our favorite designers like Johanna Ortiz, Agua by Agua Bendita, Aquazurra and Zimmermann.

We’ve just added two pattern-happy dresses with off-the-shoulder silhouettes to our closet – this midi style in the prettiest floral print and this dramatic maxi in our favorite red with ivory. We’re pairing both with these great heels…we’re so smitten with the ruby color and the simple yet statement-making style. Other party-perfect dresses and heels we’re eyeing include this colorblocked one shoulder trapeze dress, these versatile slingbacks, this lace midi dress and these strappy gold sandals.

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