P+P Gift Guide: Beauty Must-Haves!

We always adore a beauty gift – both to give and receive! We’ve rounded up everything that we’re eyeing and buying right now, including our makeup staples, skincare favorites, and our new go-to makeup cleansing routine (we’re giving away five of these sets right now on Instagram so be sure to enter if you haven’t yet!). We can’t resist a pretty holiday gift set (right now we’re loving this makeup set and this trio of highlighter, blush and contour sticks), and this is the time of year when we stock up on our favorite fragrances. We’re fans of a few great investment-worthy tools like this hair dryer, this microcurrent device, this LED toothbrush and this teeth whitening kit. And of course we’re always on the hunt for the perfect bags and cases to hold everything (and personalized bags make such great gifts!).

Cozy and Cute!

Cozy season has arrived and we’re smitten with so many of our latest comfy-meets-cute finds, including lots of pretty pajamas we can’t wait to lounge in! We’ve also been known to wear pajamas outside of the house for school runs and errands…we’ll just throw on some sneakers and a fleece jacket! We’re eyeing majorly discounted PJ sets and fleece jackets at J.Crew today like this striped poplin set, this plaid bib-detail style, this sherpa barn jacket and this fleece lady jacket (we love the unexpected gold buttons!)…the sale ends tonight so don’t sleep on these deals! You can save up to $275 today and tomorrow at Saks when you use the code ‘NOVGETSF’…we’re crushing on these darling feather-trim pajamas in red and this fun striped version, this fair isle cardigan and this embroidered sherpa jacket.

We’re getting the house ready for the holidays and taking full advantage of Serena & Lily’s biggest sale of the year…we love these evergreen wreaths for under $100 and we just added these rattan counter stools to our kitchen island, and don’t miss 20% off on framed art prints by our dear friend Kayce Hughes (they’re rarely included in sales!). Happy shopping!

Home Favorites from OKA

Post sponsored by OKA

We can’t resist making design updates around the house…even the smallest addition can transform a space! Over the past few years we’ve become such fans of the female-founded British brand OKA and their pretty homewares. They’re beautifully made pieces inspired by global travel and artisan craftsmanship, and even better yet, they won’t break the bank! Right now we’re eyeing this rattan and brass table lamp, which looks so great paired with a patterned lampshade like this striped style, this colorful ikat or this indigo block print shade, and all lighting and textiles are 30% off today (the sale ends tonight so don’t sleep on these deals!). Other OKA favorites include this fun ceramic stool, this hand-carved bobbin mirror, this wool flat-weave rug and this block print pillow cover (it’s under $50 right now!). You can see more of our colorful, pattern-filled picks in the collage above and the gallery below, and be sure to check out OKA.com to shop the full collection!
