Just in case you haven't heard, Shopbop is having a 30% off sale. The sale started yesterday, and it goes through tomorrow, so I thought I would make things easy on you and share my picks. Hurry on over and scoop up these deals while they last. Maybe grab yourself an early Christmas present or two. I definitely have my eye on those Rebecca Minkoff heels, that blazer, and those perfect PJs...

AND, because one is never enough:

C. Wonder is having an extra 30% off sale until November 11. I think I need these for my table, this for some fun, and this for cozy Saturdays.
JCrew is an extra 30% off sale with code LOVEFALL. I'm loving this dress, this blouse, this adorable wrap skirt, and this sweater with a touch of tweed.
The Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale for Women and Kids is going on now with up to 40% off. Snag this sweater, this dress, these flats, and this crossbody bag.

Happy Shopping!

favorite things: animal details

clutch // ring // iphone case (on sale!) // bracelet // shoes // notecards

Lately, I have been all about animal inspired details. A hint of leopard, a touch of snakeskin, or these adorable animal notecards inject the perfect amount of (timeless!) fun into any occasion. A word to the wise, limit yourself to just one animal detail at a time...

while too much of a good thing is a great thing, too much leopard is just terrible.

mother's day gift guide

Happy Friday! I turned in my last law school paper yesterday afternoon, so happy, happy, happy indeed! It's a strange feeling to be done, but also an amazing relief. I am shifting into packing mode today before all of our family arrives next week for graduation festivities. In addition to packing, finding the perfect Mother's Day gifts is on my list for this week. And, just in case you are still on the hunt for something for Mom, here is a little inspiration:

1. Agate Coasters / 2. It's All Good Cookbook / 3. Striped Tote / 4. Initial Necklace / 5. Silhouette Art

The agate coasters would be the perfect colorful pop to add to any house, and the new Gwyneth Paltrow cookbook has gotten amazing reviews. This striped tote is classic enough for any mom, but playful with the neon stripe. I also love the idea of a personalized gift- especially for Mother's Day. The necklace can be ordered to include any number of initials and is a cute way for a mom to keep her children, grandchildren, etc. close to her heart year-round. Finally, consider a piece of silhouette art for Mother's Day this year. I think this would be perfect for a mom with young children.

If you are interested in personal shopping services, feel free to send me an email and we will find you the perfect present for your Mom's tastes and preferences. I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

a touch of shagreen

Good Morning! Today I am excited to share one of my newest obsessions with you- shagreen! I have been trying to figure out where this love for shark/sting ray skin came from, and I think it is the fact that classic pieces can be given a little twist with the addition of shagreen. I don't know that I (or my wallet) would love this in large doses, but I think small amounts of the material provide the perfect pop to a room or outfit.

Take this plate from another one of my obsessions C. Wonder. While this shagreen is faux, the classic look of the material combines beautifully with a more modern green color and square shape. I can just see this plate dressing up a dinner party, as a tray on a side table, or even hanging on a wall for an added pop of color. I might just have to order one...or twelve!

Can we all sigh together over this bracelet? Here, the shagreen provides the contrast to an otherwise classic bangle shape. I think this would be the perfect addition to so many outfits and would wear well for years and years. This little touch of texture doesn't overwhelm the bracelet, but it provides just the right amount of glamour! Maybe a birthday present to myself?!?

Finally, a touch of shagreen for your man (or for yourself.) This box would be perfect atop a dresser or night stand to hold watches, cuff links, or your pearl earrings. Love the emerald color (color of the year!) and how it makes the texture pop. Still not sure why Williams Sonoma is carrying this in their regular store v. Williams Sonoma home, but some mysteries shall remain...

What do you think? Can we get on board with decorating your house (or yourself) with some shagreen this Spring?!
