Who was surprised when J.Crew filed for bankruptcy in May? I shouldn’t have been, but I kind of was. I know they’ve have problems for years, but to me J.Crew is a staple that everyone knows and has a wider than wide customer base. So I was surprised. I love their brand and I love checking their new arrivals knowing that I’ll always be able to get excited about some new amazing dress or shoe or earring that isn’t a gazillion dollars. I truly feel like they have a solid mix of both every-day classic styles as well as more fashion forward trendy pieces. So I was surprised. I hope (and truly believe) they will be fine. They just need to rethink some things and work it all out. But I will say I’ve noticed some of the images and styling of their new arrivals feels more J.Crew Factory to me. Not the pieces since that would have already been done, just the photography and styling of them. I’m betting and hoping this is temporary and really just more due to Covid issues, which is likely the situation. (Who else has been majorly disappointed with Shopbop’s lack of imagery?) I like to see a model’s full face and not have it cut off. So for me scrolling through new arrivals now takes slightly more imagination but the point is, THEY’VE STILL GOT IT.

Right now you can take 40% off your purchase with the code CHECKOUT so be sure to use that! Y’all know I’ve been waiting for a promo to buy this dress! And I don’t wear a ton of shorts in the summer because I find flowy dresses to be way more comfortable, but these loose fitting drawstring shorts would be great! This embroidered cover up dress comes in a lot of cute colors! And this is a great everyday dress!

Check out J.Crew’s new arrivals right here – happy Monday everyone!

Happy Friday! I’m sharing this cheery pink toile printed dress today from a brand I’ve been following for a long time – Sail to Sable! It’s made with a really light cotton and feels like a dream to wear in the Charleston heat. And I love the shades of pink together.

This cute dress has a ruched waist and sleeves and is super comfortable!

Wearing:

pink toile dress c/o, bamboo fan bag,

raffia mule sandals, hunter blake earrings

I’m a long time fan of their linen tunic style dresses! Super classic and cute! They come in a rainbow of colors. And isn’t that navy striped cross front mini dress a total stunner?!!

Shop Sail to Sable’s new collection here! This print comes in a lot of different styles!

Feeling bored? Feeling restless? Today’s post is dedicated to doing. All things you can do in the comfort of your own home – time to shake it up.

Moon Dominoes Set – I love this beautiful set of dominoes! Fun for date night or with the family! And pretty enough that you might not mind if the kids leave them out on the table.

Copper Fire Pit – More Friday nights (and Saturdays and Sundays and Mondays…) at home call for more at home entertaining. A fire pit is a great addition to the back yard, and even better when you have S’more supplies on hand.

Ombre Watter Bottle – This is a littttttle bit of a stretch here but I bet a lot of you are like me and could use a reminder to drink more water more often. Well aren’t these ombre glass water bottles beautiful? Easy to fill up at home and drink around the house, and easy to throw in the car, too!

Walnut Dumbbells – Okay these dumbbells are the the most beautiful dumbbells I’ve ever seen. Pretty enough to sit on your shelf as decor! A beautiful gift, too. They’re on my wishlist and think they’d be great at Coral House.

Bala Weight Bangles – Also worthy, the bala wrap bangles weights! I love this special rainbow edition! So fun!

Everything Bagel Making Kit – Breakfasts at home can get realllll boring, but this bagel making kit would be fun! It’s my favorite flavor bagel, too!

Raaka Daily dose Mini Chocolate Bars – Again, a stretch for this post but treating yourself is something you should do every day – and these Raaka mini chocolate bars are perfectly sized and meant to last you the month! Would be a great gift, too!

Outdoor String Light Post – Amp up the ambiance in your backyard with some string lights! If you don’t have the perfect set up to stretch them no worries – this light post has got you!

Bocce Ball Set – Another game for the back yard for family or friends! And it’s pretty.

Citronella Sticks – I have these and just love them. You can stick them in potted plants, straight in the ground, a pretty sand filled vessel… and they keep the mosquitos at bay!

Fresh Cheese Making Kit – Hard to choose between this cheese making kit and the everything bagel kit, so I included both :) Have you ever even thought about making cheese? Same. This would be cool to try!

Sun Printing Kit – Another fun project! It has everything you need to make some beautiful sun photography prints! Lilly would love doing this.

I went to Trader Joes for the first time since early March yesterday (yes I wore my mask) and was thrilled to see so many beautiful orchids blooming, I just couldn’t help but grab one. Right now it’s brightening up our kitchen! They also make lovely porch deliveries for neighbors and friends, too.

Wearing:

floral linen midi dress, raffia strap sandals

My linen midi dress (holy leg slit) inspired this post. I just love a pretty, feminine print the most. And this dress round up has my favorite prints available right now! Like that strawberry dress, so adorable.

This flutter v-neck dress is MAJORLY on my wishlist and I’m just waiting for a good promo (we all know it’s coming). This aqua blue dress with the oversized flowers is a total statement dress, wouldn’t it be so much fun to wear?! I love the pretty blue shade on this mini dress, too! Have an amazing day, guys!

I’m a sucker for a good wrap dress. A slimming style that you can adjust to fit just right no matter the day is major for a bloat fluctuate-er like me :) And this light blue stripe linen wrap dress from Draper James is the perfect silhouette for porch sitting! It goes past the knee so it’s not too short when you sit, it has a lovely little flutter sleeve, and a comfy and breathable linen fabric!

Wearing:

blue stripe linen wrap dress c/o, scalloped sandals,

tortoise sunglasses c/o, gold hoop earrings c/o,

leather bucket bag c/o, raffia drinking glass

This wrap dress is so good that it’s actually one of Draper James signature styles – check out these pretty print and colors!
