Warm Weather Getaway Essentials
0

I don’t know about you but I’m so ready for a warm weather getaway! We’ve been thinking about booking a last minute trip to Palm Beach next month and am hoping we will pull the trigger this week! I’ve been looooving all of the new spring items hitting stores these past few weeks. Does anyone else prefer shopping for spring and summer over winter? Seriously – over it! 🙂

Today I’m sharing a few of my go-to warm weather getaway essentials that are repeat buys each and every spring/summer season. Insert:

What are some of your go-to weather warm essentials? Happy shopping! Xo. Lauren

Gal-Meets-Glam

You guys!! If you’re looking to stock up on new pieces for spring, Shopbop is having a major 3-day sale event!!! I’ve already bought some great spring staples during their last sale and will definitely pick up some more over the next few days!

Whenever there is a big spring sale event like this, I personally love peeking at Shopbop’s top sellers as well as what’s new from some of my favorite designers/brands like Kule, Ulla Johnson, Madewell, Castaner, and more! Items are selling out fast so don’t wait too long if you have your eye on a few things! You can shop today through tomorrow April 12th at 12:00am EST.

Get The Look: Sweet Shady Lane’s Classic Entryway
0

Get-The-Look-Classic-Entry-Way

One of my favorite Instagram accounts to follow is without a doubt Sweet Shady Lane. I absolutely love Heather’s style and the way she’s mastered mixing antique pieces with more modern and traditional pieces.

As I mentioned the other week, I’m on a mission to make some updates to our dinning room & living room spaces over the next few months including our entry way! Right now I’m using Josh’s old desk as an entry way table which I’ve draped with a blue blanket at the moment. Given that this isn’t a long term solution, I’ve decided this is the next vignette I’m going to take on! So I’m currently using Heather’s photo above as inspiration for our entry way.

The main piece I’m looking for is a beautiful antique English 3-drawer pine chest similar to Heather’s 3-drawer chest. It’s actually quite hard to find one for less than $500 dollars! I’ve been scouring Chairish, One Kings Lane and 1st Dibs and I’ve discovered that pine chests can easily range upward of $1,200!! Of course I don’t want to get something that looks “cheap” so we might just have to bite the bullet and invest in this statement piece which I know we’ll be able to use for years to come.

Any who, I love the way this Ballard Designs Mirror looks above the chest I found layered with accessories like this Pottery Barn Hurricane, Elizabeth Thom Oil Painting and this Ballard Designs White Gourd Lamp.

What do you think? I think this is a good start on how I envision the space coming together. Oh, we also bought this Annie Selke Blue and White Striped Rug and I love the way it compliments the entry way!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!! Xo. Lauren

Weekend Notes

Helloooo! And Happy Saturday, my friends. My mom is arriving today for all of the fun wedding planning things — dress shopping at Monique Lhullier on the Upper East Side & A Little Something White in Connecticut, we’re taking a peek at our venue (we officially booked) and we’ll most likely look at a few different hotel options. I’ll do a whole wedding blog post soon, I promise!

In the meantime, there are so many good links from around the web this week that I wanted to share!

  • Does anyone else have trouble getting dressed during this in-between weather? I’ve been on the hunt for sweaters that can easily take me from these cooler temps to warmer spring days. Ralph Lauren & Tommy Hilfiger both have a ton of super cute, preppy options at the moment! I recently bought this blue and white striped sweater from TH and I have my eye on this sail flag sweater from RL! Last but not least I have my eye on so many La Ligne striped sweaters.
  • Speaking of spring, I’ve been stocking up on cropped, wide legged jeans for spring – Agolde from Shopbop, Madewell, and Rebecca Taylor have really cute options at the moment!
  • I’ve also stocked up a few new pairs of Castaner wedges — how cute are these?! And I’ve also been seriously loving the new-to-me-brand Kaanas. The basket weave loafers I wanted sold out but these slides would do just the trick!
  • J.Crew is currently having 50% off all new sale items – yes, please!
