Last-Minute Gifting Ideas!

/

Hi friends! The countdown is on, but there’s still time to find thoughtful presents for everyone on your list! We may be biased, but our Mark & Graham collection is a great place to start, and you can order custom-embroidered styles like these aprons and these napkins up through tomorrow for delivery in time for Christmas! Pair them with this ceramic wine chiller or these New Year’s Eve-ready Champagne coupes for the perfect gift to give or keep! We’re sharing more of our latest favorites below, like these chic gift sets in the prettiest packaging (today is the last day for two-day shipping) and luxe beauty sets that are sure to be a hit. Original art is always a great gifting idea, and who wouldn’t love a classic watch or an espresso machine that makes every morning that much better. Happy shopping!

Dresses For Every Occasion!

/

Post sponsored by Saks Fifth Avenue

We’re always on the hunt for the perfect dresses, and this is the time of year when we’ve got festive holiday parties and upcoming warm weather resort getaways on the calendar, plus we’re adding everyday favorites to our closet. Saks is our longtime go-to when it comes to finding great dresses for every occasion, as well as the investment-worthy bags, shoes and accessories that we’ll turn to again and again.

This pretty red dress is such a fun new find…we love the drama of the off-the-shoulder style and full ankle length skirt! This ruched jersey dress is another new favorite – it’s such an easy silhouette that can be dressed up or down and we’re crushing on this wine color!

You can browse lots of our latest dress finds in the gallery below, and check out even more over at saks.com where right now you can save $50 for every $200 spent on included styles when you use the code ‘GETDECSF’ at checkout!

Our New P+P x Buru Resort Capsule!

Who’s ready for a sunny getaway?! We certainly are, and we’re so excited to share our new vacation-ready resort collaboration with Buru! We had such fun partnering with Buru to create our holiday collection, so we’re back with a capsule of special pieces to help get you ready for upcoming warm-weather trips!

We love that Buru uses deadstock and vintage fabrics to create their collections, with each piece lovingly made by hand at their female-owned atelier in Los Angeles.

The collection includes a mix of dresses and separates, all featuring Buru’s signature impeccable details and finishings. If you liked the tartan tie top and floral eyelet skirt silhouettes from our holiday collection, you won’t want to miss the new gingham silk top and striped seersucker skirt in the resort collection, as they are similar shapes in new fabrics!

rashguard top (wearing an XS but could size up to a small); can be worn with bathing suit bottoms or over a one-piece, or we love it with a tennis skirt too! / similar pareos

The resort collection is available to shop now on the Buru website! Quantities are very limited so don’t sleep on your favorites! If you’re traveling soon, it’s recommended that you select expedited two-day shipping at checkout and also send a note with your order to the Buru team to let them know about any deadlines (it’s also a great time to snap up any holiday pieces you’ve been eyeing if you’re using expedited shipping!). We can’t wait to see you in the collection – be sure to tag @pencilandpaperco and @shopburu when you share your photos on Instagram!
