It’s hard to believe that we’re almost halfway through the year and that the 4th of July is less than a month away. Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ, spending the long weekend at the beach, or by the lake here are few of my favorite 4th of July decorations for your home. If you’re planning to spend the day outside grilling with friends and family this rattan cooler basket is perfect for storing drinks and you could line these wire trays with parchment for a cute and fun way to serve burgers and hot dogs.

J.Crew New Arrivals
J.Crew New Arrivals are here and the summer collection this year is so good.

While adding some new pieces like this gorgeous striped pullover and this knit cardigan sweater. So whether you’re shopping for lightweight sweaters that are perfect for summer to cute coverups to wear to the pool or beach these are some of my favorite pieces.

Best Memorial Day Sales to Shop
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! So many wonderful sales are happening from J.Crew to Jack Rogers to Serena and Lily and more. This weekend is a great time to save on summer clothing staples like jean shorts, sandals, and swimwear or to freshen up your home for summer with sales on outdoor furniture and home decor. Here are the best Memorial Day sales to shop this year.
Serena & Lily Memorial Day Sale Favorites
Serena & Lily has been my absolute favorite home brand for years. All of their furniture and home decor are thoughtfully designed and well-made. The subdued coastal vibe somehow works everywhere, even in our 19th century Chicago home, and it easily elevates any space while still feeling relaxing and lived in. We absolutely adore all of the pieces in our home from Serena & Lily like our bed frame, jute rug, the chests in the girls’ bedrooms, and so much more. It perfectly complements the traditional style of our house but infuses a bit of happiness, too. I can’t speak more highly of the products in terms of quality. It’s truly off the charts, and we know that everything we have from the company will be in our home for the long haul.
The Serena & Lily Memorial Day Sale is a wonderful time to save big on small or large home purchases you’ve been considering. Serena & Lily is offering 20% off everything (including sale!) with the code SPLASH through 5/31. You can shop my favorites by room / category below.
Tuckernuck New Arrivals, 5/22
I always get excited to browse through Tuckernuck’s new arrivals, and this week they added over 100 beautiful pieces for summer. From bright and floral midi dresses, to flowy maxi skirts, rattan bags, and sandals these are some of my favorite Tuckernuck new arrivals.
