I was so excited when I saw that Tory Burch launched her home line. I’m not even a little bit surprised that she is entering the world of home decor. If you have stopped by any of her retail locations, you probably have noticed the design is right on point. The tabletop collection is comprised of dishes, coffee mugs, decorative boxes, brass frames and needlepoint pillows to name a few pieces. The entire line is classic and timeless but I especially love the hand-painted dishes with the blue and white speckled pattern – so prep. The classic color combination reminds me of 19th-century English ceramics. The Spongeware dish colection can truly be used for any occasion and would also look amazing if you mixed and matched pieces.
I love investing in pieces that I know I will re-wear multiple times over. Insert the chambray shirt. Chambray is the perfect summertime alternative to your favorite heavy denim and is the perfect piece to take you from summer to fall. This particular cloth originated in Northern France but has been an American staple for years because of it’s roots in the U.S. Navy uniform. Below I’ve curated two ways you can rock chambray this summer. From light printed pants and heels to a more casual day look with the cutest stripe skirt and flats, chambray is one of the easiest pieces to help transform your wardrobe. You can shop more of my chambray favorites below. Happy Shopping! Lauren
I recently came across this picture online from Maggie Stephens Interiors. One of the main reasons I was drawn to this image was mostly because how clean and airy the room appears. The gold mirror combined with the brass pineapples on the mantel provide a great focal point for the room. In addition, the team at Maggie Stephens Interiors was not afraid to mix patterns and colors. i.e the greek key pillow on the couch + the floral patterned pillows on the white chairs. Rugs and pillows are probably two of the easiest ways to mimic a room fast and not to mention they are relatively easy to swap out when you get sick of the color/pattern.
When it comes to getting the look, One Kings Lane is one of my favorite destinations to scope out similar products I see in images online. You can search and shop “black and white rugs” pretty easily to find one that suits your needs. And as many of you know, shopping for large pieces of furniture like coffee tables, upholstered chairs and couches can certainly come with a higher price tag. Luckily One Kings Lane provides a wide variety to choose from that can fit both your budget and your style. Although I love the wood detailing of the chairs featured in this room, I opted for these dumont chairs from One Kings Lane (love the black pipping).
The one product that was quite hard for me to find – surprisingly – was the gold round mirror above the mantel. You would think one of the major retailers would have something similar but I literally could only find this West Elm version here – which is in grey for $179. I do like the West Elm version because it does have the simple aesthetic like the one featured below but come on peeps, we all know I love gold. If any of you know where to find this gold mirror below, could you drop me a line? All in all, I would still move in here. Thoughts? Xo. Lauren
Unless you have been living under a rock you probably know it’s the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. This is seriously one of my favorite sales of the summer as you can preview and shop some major fall pieces before they are marked back up to their regular prices. I know it’s hard to shop fall pieces when we’re experiencing a heat wave in the city but I can’t help but get excited for fall when the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale comes around. I stopped by Nordstrom at the Westchester Mall on Friday evening with my mom and couldn’t resist picking up a few key items. Insert this Baublebar for Nordstrom Anniversary Sale necklace. The girls working the jewelry counter made me keep trying the necklace on for their friends at the different jewelry counters and I kid you not, after I purchased the necklace and continued walking around the store, I got stopped 3 more times – gotta love a good bauble!
Moving on..these Rag & Bone booties are an absolute must. Rag & Bone booties are the perfect fall/winter city boot – comfortable and can take you from the office to dinner with the girls. I also love Danielle Nicole‘s pieces for the Anniversary Sale. It’s hard to say no to this laser cut out handbag for $69.90 or this little clutch for $31 dollars. Last but not least, the sale is one of my favorite times to shop Nordstrom’s Beauty Exclusives. You can get some great products and beauty sets for amazing prices – insert this Bobbi Brown nude on nude color palette or this bareMinerals Eyecolor Kit. You can shop more of my favorite Nordstrom Anniversary Sale must-haves below! What’s on your Nordstrom shopping list this Anniversary Sale?
