Our Bar Essentials!

We’re heading into peak entertaining season so it’s the perfect time to get our bar stocked and ready for guests! We’re always fans of form meets function, and we’ve rounded up an extensive collection of our top picks below! We’ve included lots of styles from our new collaboration with Mark & Graham; these are pieces that we love using at home and they also make such great hostess gifts and holiday presents (especially if you have them personalized!). If you’re in the market for a new bar cart or cabinet, you can save 20-25% off everything at Serena & Lily through tomorrow; we’re eyeing this cane bar cabinet, as well as this bamboo bar tool set and this pretty tray.

Guest Room Must-Haves + Deals!

Believe it or not the holidays are just around the corner so we’re getting our guest rooms ready for visitors, starting with taking advantage of this week’s great deals! The Amazon sale is going on today and tomorrow, with major savings on must-haves like these cordless lamps, our go-to wood hangers, these down pillows, this portable stand TV and our favorite hair dryer (we love having an extra one available for houseguests to use!). We’re also eyeing these pretty block print throw pillow covers that are under $40 for two! Everything is 20% off at Serena & Lily this week (and 25% off plus free shipping for $2,500+), so it’s the perfect time to stock up on their luxe sheets (like the cute scalloped style shown above) and fluffy bath towels, or to pick out a new bed, nightstands or table lamps. The pattern-happy trays from our Mark & Graham collection are the perfect bedside catchall, and they also make the sweetest personalized gift!

Fall Finds Under $55!

Post sponsored by Walmart

Fall has officially arrived and we’re excited to share our latest Walmart fashion finds for the season that are all under $55! This faux leather midi dress is made so well and looks much more expensive than its price tag! We love the pleated skirt detail and self belt, but it also looks great worn without the belt, and there’s a side zipper for a nice fit (wearing a size XS here). These red cap toe slingbacks add the perfect pop of color (they’re super comfortable and it’s hard to believe they’re just $20!).

We’re also pairing the red slingbacks with this olive green shirtdress (it runs on the small side so you’ll want to size up; wearing a size small here). And we always love a pair of classic black sunglasses that won’t break the bank!

For more stylish finds at amazing prices, take a peek at our favorite Walmart-exclusive brands: Free Assembly, Time and Tru and Scoop. You can see lots of our latest fall picks in the gallery below, plus even more over on the LTK app and walmart.com!
