Our P+P x MacKenzie-Childs Collection Is On Sale!

Hi friends! We’re excited to share that our P+P x MacKenzie-Childs ceramics collection was just added to their annual Barn Sale, making these pattern-happy pieces 50% off for just the next three days! Each style is created by hand at the MacKenzie-Childs ceramics studio in upstate New York…we especially love seeing the variation in the brushstrokes from their meticulous hand-painting techniques!

We had so much fun creating a capsule collection of serving and entertaining pieces full of color and pattern that will sit beautifully with your existing favorites. We’re such fans of an eclectic, collected tabletop, and we adore how these styles look with our go-to MacKenzie-Childs Royal Check pieces (so many of which are also on sale right now!) as well as our treasured collection of vintage finds.

This sale is only going on for the next three days and quantities are limited, so don’t sleep on snapping up your favorites. You can even get a jump-start on your holiday shopping…we especially think the vase and this trio of versatile bowls make such such lovely gifts!

Packing for Greece!

We are SO excited to head to Greece later this week and are in full-on packing mode right now! This darling blue and white striped caftan is definitely coming along…we love it with our favorite wedge espadrilles for dinners out, or during the day with our go-to flat ankle-tie sandals. We’ll pair it with this sweet starfish detail straw mini tote during the daytime and then our must-have bamboo clutch for the evening. We’re sticking with primarily blue and white pieces so everything is easily mixed-and-matched with shoes and accessories; a few other dresses in our suitcase include this coral print one-shoulder style, this white lace shirtdress and this block print caftan.

This ivory midi dress is another new favorite…the silhouette is super easy and comfortable (it has puff sleeves that we rolled up a bit in this look), and we appreciate the versatility of styling options while traveling. And even better yet, right now this dress is on sale for just $53! We just shared more of our latest dress finds that are all on sale as part of a Prime Day promo (sale ends tonight!), and don’t miss out on the deals at Nordstrom this week (see our fall fashion sale picks here, activewear shopping list, makeup essentials and beauty tools recs).

We’ve narrowed down our top picks below, broken into two categories: Shopbop Prime-exclusive deals, and our favorite Amazon finds. For Shopbop, you can save 25% on a ton of new styles and on top of many already marked down sale items when you link your Amazon Prime account to Shopbop and use the code ‘PRIME25’ at checkout, plus you’ll get free two-day shipping and discounted next-day shipping. You can see the easy instructions for how to do this here! We’ve got this darling dress in our cart (the print is so fun and will be perfect for vacation!), as well as these jeans, these strappy sandals and this straw bag (love the shape!).

Prime Day is the perfect opportunity to snap up small appliances and electronics at great prices, like this classic stand mixer, this nugget ice machine, this frame TV, and this countertop oven that we own and use all the time! We’re also taking advantage of beauty deals like this repairing hair treatment, this lip mask and this bulk size sunscreen…you can what we’re eyeing and buying in the gallery below!
