Inspired to Get Active!

Hi friends! The start of a new year always inspires us to recommit to getting active, but we also find that having great activewear essentials on hand plays a big part in staying motivated all year! We swear by a few tried-and-true favorites, like these leggings…they have great waist support and overall compression, no seams in the front, and we love that there are also matching pieces available. We just picked up this half zip top and this longer full zip (perfect for a little rear coverage) and they’ve quickly become go-tos…they’re cozy without being too warm, and the fabric is super soft! We just added this darling sweatshirt and these fun socks to our shopping cart; they would make such cute Valentine’s day gift ideas too!

Handbag Wishlist!

Hi friends! On this first Monday back after the holiday season, we’re setting our intentions for the new year! One of these is to try to “shop” our own closets as much as possible, and limit purchases to a few great investment bags that we’ll wear and enjoy for years to come. We’re big fans of sourcing pre-owned luxury bags here at a fraction of the original cost…right now we’re on a vintage Diorissimo kick, and we’re also eyeing this woven straw style and this bucket bag in our favorite red. For new styles, this chic tote is a great value today (40% off and comes in both brown and black!) and we’re crushing on mini bags like this classic chain handle style and this drawstring pouch in the prettiest shade of blue. Happy shopping!

Walmart Gifts For Everyone On Your List!

Post sponsored by Walmart

Still working on your holiday gift list? We’ve partnered with Walmart to help find the perfect gifts for everyone, and we especially love that so many of them can be delivered right to your doorstep on the same day! This icemaker may seem like an unexpected choice, but it’s our pick for the holiday present MVP that the entire family will enjoy…who doesn’t love crunchy pellet ice!

We’ve created a little under-the-counter coffee station setup at the P+P atelier with our new icemaker and our other must-haves for making our favorite iced coffee drinks, including our bamboo lid glass tumblers and a milk frother for the perfect foam, all contained in a wicker basket that we’ve labeled with handy metal clip-on labels.

Take a peek at our latest holiday present picks below and you can find even more great gifting ideas over on walmart.com!
