Favorite Swimwear Starting at $27!

/

Spring break and summer getaways are just around the corner so we’re busy finding the perfect swimsuits and accessories! Right now we’re loving the latest swim styles from J.Crew, most of which are currently marked down (don’t miss the deals on this one-shoulder gingham suit, this classic bikini and this gauze beach skirt!). We just ordered this linen button-up shirt that we’re planning to pair with a pretty pareo over swimwear for vacation lunches, and of course we always add our favorite straw hat and classic sunglasses. These jelly sandals are a total steal and great for the beach or pool, and we just snapped up this oversized straw tote.

Take a peek at more of the pieces we’re eyeing and buying below!

Lighting Deals + Steals!

Hi friends! We can’t resist a great deal and we know you can’t either! We’ve been on the hunt for pretty lighting to use in spaces around the house and at the P+P atelier, and we’re so thrilled about all of the amazingly priced styles we’ve found! Visual Comfort is our favorite source for high quality lighting at great prices, and right now so many light fixtures and lamps are marked down even more…we’re sharing lots of styles in the gallery below and you can see more here! We’re eyeing so many finds at Serena & Lily this week, where everything is specially priced right now (including 20% off all lighting as well as 25% off bedroom furniture and our favorite bedding, plus 30% off outdoor styles – now is the perfect time to get your outdoor spaces ready for spring and summer!). Lumens’ semi-annual sale is going on right now with lighting up to 50% off, and you can save up to 25% off at Ballard Designs today, including on this classic gourd lamp that comes in three colors, these block print pleated shades and this new scalloped LED lamp. If you missed our recent roundup of wireless rechargeable lighting, be sure to check that out here, as well these game-changing rechargeable lightbulbs, which can transform a traditional wired light fixture into a wireless one (we love this lightbulb size that is the perfect scale for smaller lights). Happy shopping!

Ready for a Sunny Getaway!

We’re thrilled that spring is just around the corner, and we’re planning the perfect looks for a sunny spring break getaway! We always turn to Saks as our one-stop-shop when we’re searching for the prettiest vacation dresses, swimsuits, shoes and accessories!

We especially adore that Saks supports and introduces smaller brands like the one worn here…this dress is such a special piece that is beautifully handmade in Nigeria, and we can’t get enough of the pretty print and silhouette! We love it worn with our favorite flat sandals, but it will also be great with wedge espadrilles or heeled sandals.

You can browse lots of our latest spring break-ready favorites in the gallery below and check out even more at saks.com!

A Peek Into The P+P Atelier!

/

We’re finally nearing the finish line at the P+P atelier and are so thrilled to start sharing peeks at the design! We’re starting today with a look at the entryway, which is now clad in this Schumacher wallpaper that we absolutely adore (we even papered the ceiling!). We’ve been collecting lots of special vintage pieces to incorporate throughout the space, like a Chinoiserie mirror hung over a wicker console. Our go-to natural fiber runner is perfect for this high-traffic area (and we especially love that you can customize the size to fit any space!).

We’re sharing lots of our latest favorites below that are inspired by the P+P atelier color palette and design scheme, and you can see more of what we’re eyeing and buying for the atelier here, plus a look behind the scenes at the design process here!
