Summer Soirée Style!

Post sponsored by Saks Fifth Avenue

We’re planning out the perfect party outfit for an upcoming summer soirée…are you team statement mini dress or sweet striped midi? We love both of these new Saks finds, paired with versatile gold heels, classic pearl studs and our go-to sunglasses.

This ivory mini dress has such a cool texture to the fabric, and we love the two-way gold zipper detail in the back. This striped midi style is one we know we’ll wear again and again…we just can’t resist a blue and white dress for summer! Other warm weather dresses we’re eyeing right now at Saks include this paneled lace midi, this bow detail mini and this vacation-ready halter style.

You can browse lots of our party dress and accessory favorites in the gallery below, and check out even more over at saks.com!

Last Call For Our Ceramics On Sale!

Hi friends! In case you missed the news: our P+P x MacKenzie-Childs ceramics collection is 50% off, but the sale ends tonight at midnight! It’s the perfect time to stock up on our favorite versatile hand-painted bowls…we use them in the kitchen and as a bedside catchall for jewelry (and really anywhere else you might need a cute bowl), and they make great gifts if you want to get a head start on holiday shopping! We love the combo of the sugar bowl (it’s also perfect for serving honey and jam) on top of the ruffled edge small plate, and don’t miss out on the striped cake stand (right now there are only a handful remaining in inventory!).

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).
