McGee-And-Co-The-Top-Presidents-Day-Sales-To-Shop

President’s Day weekend is here which always mean great home sales & ultimately savings in your pocket!!

Today I rounded up the top President’s Day Sales you can shop today through tomorrow. And if there are two sales you should shop this weekend — make it Pottery Barn & McGee and Co!! Take a peek at my favorite pieces from each sale below.

Happy Shopping!!

Pottery Barn

Pottery Barn — Shop 20% off and enjoy Free Shipping with promo code WEEKEND. Also, now’s a great time to take a peak at their entire sale section where you can shop up to 70% off thousands of items! We’re currently in the market for a new sideboard for our living room and the one I have my eye on (the new Lucca buffet) is discounted $600d dollars!  I also love the Parkmore Reclaimed Wood and the Toscana Buffet.

Other Pottery Barn favorites include these premium flicker flameless wax candles that I’ve blogged about 100x before. Or if you need unscented pillar candles, I have Ivory candles all over our apartment.

McGee & Co

McGee & Co rarely has sales throughout the year so I highly recommend taking advantage of their buy more, save more sale this weekend! I have so many art pieces including: Spring Fog & Spring Fog 2 art, the Coastal Sunset piece, and the Beige Abstract 2 piece. We’re also considering this white Claire sideboard for our living room in addition to the ones listed above. And they seriously have the kitchen home decor! From bread/cheese boards and cake stands to bowls & kitchen linens, definitely take a peek at their kitchen selection!

One Kings Lane

Shop 20% off site wide! From furniture and lighting to rugs and pillows, there are so many great items to shop this weekend.  A few beautiful pieces that caught my eye include this Brooke Club Chair, this set of 2 loom chairs, this Sophia wingback bed, and this Charlotte natural wood round dining table!

Horchow

Shop 25% off site wide at Horchow today & tomorrow! The one sale section you can’t miss their lighting sale section and specifically their Aerin collection! I can NEVER find her lighting pieces on sale!! This is the Aerin flush mount we have in our bedroom and it’s so pretty at night when it’s lit up!

Wayfair, Overstock & Joss and Main

Mayfair and Overstock are offering up to 70-75% off hundreds of items! And Joss & Main is offering an additional 20% off + free shipping site wide! Love this white Laura Ashley Quilt Set.

Exterior Inspiration — The Father Of The Bride House
0

Father-of-the-Bride-House-California

I have loved Nancy Meyers films for what feels like a lifetime — Something’s Gotta Give, Father of the Bride, The Holiday, It’s Complicated, The Parent Trap — you name it!! I grew up with so many of these films, I can easily watch all of them on repeat.

Most recently, I watched Father of the Bride & Father of the Bride 2 now that we’re in wedding planning mode and it was so fun!! I forgot how much I LOVE both of these films. What I’ve realized over time is that Nancy Meyers does an amazing job creating spaces that feel like home and rooms that you simply want to move right in. It’s like these spaces play their own starring roles in her movies!! The living room in Father of the Bride, the dinning room in Something’s Gotta Give and the little cottage in London from The Holiday are all spaces that are so inviting, cozy & warm. And the exteriors are just as good!

Since watching these films, I’ve been re-inspired and have been devouring similar Father of the Bride houses and big white houses in general on Instagram & Pinterest. Some of my favorite Instagram accounts to follow include the Fox Group, Patrick Ahern Architect, and Landschute Architecture. Today I rounded up a few big, white dreamy homes!

What are some of your favorite Nancy Meyers films? Xo. Lauren

Where To Stay In Charleston — The Inns of Charleston
1

1-The-Inns-of-Charleston

If you’re looking in to where to stay in Charleston, look no further than the Inns of Charleston!

This past weekend I traveled to Charleston with a few of my girlfriends — Jillian, Mackenzie, Ali & Carly! If you’re not following them already be sure to check out their websites and instagrams! We had the best weekend exploring the different neighborhoods of Charleston and eating at some of the top restaurants. Jillian was the best host and took us to some of her favorite hidden gems — insert Raw 167! Must order the lobster roll and tuna burger.

We stayed at the Inns of Charleston which is located downtown Charleston and is a perfect place to stay if you’re traveling with your family or a group of girlfriends! Our suite had 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen and living room. It was a nice size and only a short Uber or walking distance to everything we did over the course of the weekend. It’s also worth mentioning that the beds were a serious DREAM! So comfortable — a mix of plush yet firm. We couldn’t stop talking about them all weekend.

I’ve only traveled to Charleston once before for my best friend’s wedding so this trip was so nice to have time to do different things! A few of my favorite highlights from the weekend include — a candle making class at Candlefish, shopping for pajamas at the new Lake Pajamas store on King Street (I picked out the seaside long/long set!) and grabbing a drink on the rooftop of the Dewberry Hotel.

Below are a few photos we snapped of the Inn so you can get a peek! Feel free to email me if you have any direct questions about our stay. Happy Monday!
