Saturday Shopping

May 10, 2026 by Courtney 2 Comments

Good morning and happy Mother’s Day. Coming to you a day late as yesterday was non-stop for us. If you are a mom, I hope you can relax today and take a moment to yourself. Always a tender day if you’ve lost your mom. There is nothing like that love. Turning to a more frivolous topic, today’s Saturday Shopping is a fun one. Grab a cup of hot tea or coffee and let’s do this together.

SUMMER LOOKS

Really cute dress for summer. Wear it alone, sweater over the shoulders, sweater around the waist or with a denim jacket. Nice dress for travel, too.

So pretty!! This dress is beautiful.

I think this dress is so cute. Love this for summer concert season. It has perfect reviews

Anything blue and white striped is timeless. Pretty blouse – love the sleeves on this.

Spotted these darling Mary Jane’s. Great price and so cute.

EASY BREEZY DRESSES

I love this style of dress! I had one so similar when I was younger and I adored it. It’s such a relaxed and pretty cut. Great for summer months and vacation days. It’s currently on sale.

This dress also caught my eye. I love a ruched top on dresses and really like the waistline on this. Also on sale.

ADORE THIS DRESS


This is darling!!! I love everything about this dress.

Thought this dress would be really cute for Riley. Such a flattering and pretty cut.

The last time we were in Florida, I saw someone wearing this suit and had to ask about it. So beautiful. It’s a splurge but one you hold onto. It looked to elevated and timeless. I did some searching and found one that is very similar on Amazon!

PRICE PERFOMER

Love love love. These arrived and I took them when we traveled last week. Great fit!!! I paired them with a white top and this sweater over my shoulders. They are comfortable and look high end. The best part is that they are $50!!!

*These strappy sandals are so cute! I put my name on the waitlist.

This button down is by far one of my most worn tops. I reach for it all the time and would recommend it in any color. I also recommend the matching shorts. You can roll the top down so they are a bit shorter or keep them longer. Makes for a great vacation look.

This is another favorite. I love this cashmere top and wore it to a graduation party yesterday. So soft and lightweight. I would love it in a couple of more colors. I did add this collar to it yesterday and wore it with white pants.

LAST DAY OF THE HUGE SALE

These darling stacking bracelets are still on sale for $10!!! They are usually $34 or more. LOVE these and a fantastic idea for gradation gifts. So fun and cute for the summer.

This best seller is 20% off. So darling paired with a white tank or blouse and any bottom. It’s the perfect summer accessory. Everything at Bauble Bar is 20% off right now. A great sale but it ends tonight.

This name necklace would be a wonderful graduation or birthday gift. It’s 20% off through tonight.

LOVE TO WEAR

grey outfit

This is still an outfit I love to throw on. Inexpensive from Amazon, soft, comfy and looks pulled together. And will always be wearing these New Balance. Beyond comfortable. It’s cuter in person than the Amazon photo – the photo above is a true representation of it. Would be really cute for game day – so many colors available.

This is the linen with sea salt and they go with everything. Truly love these. They got me through the college move out process when we easily clocked 10K steps.

ON REPEAT

relaxed outfit

These flowy pants are on repeat, too. Great to travel with because they are wrinkle resistant. My color is called: Metropolis Taupe and it’s really pretty. The t-shirt is a $10 Walmart find. I stock up on these.

INCREDIBLE VALUE

bedding

Still one of my favorite Amazon purchases. This quilt and sham set is so incredibly soft and looks identical to the $300 Pottery Barn version. LOVE!!!

CAN’T MISS WITH THESE

As graduations are upon us, this is one of the top selling gifts. These are PERFECT for the parties you are invited to and need a little something. We gifted about 12 girls this pillowcase two years ago. It was a big hit.

This is another great gift. My daughter had friends over yesterday. They all got ready at our home for an event and when I went into her room I think I saw three of these. They are great $10 makeup bags and so cute. You can always put something inside if you want to increase the value. I did this for my nieces one year.

The full dorm list can be seen here. I revised it once Riley filled me in on what she really loved and used. I hope it’s helpful. I will put together one for the boys very soon. Spoiler alert . . it’s a much shorter list.

The floral comforter is in stock and so great. High end look but under $100. We went with the twin not a twin XL in this room so it could just be folded at the end. Riley is using it again next year in her dorm room.

We just moved Riley home and these bags were once again the hero product. They hold so much . . .but not so much you can’t carry them. They stack well and are easy to maneuver when loading up the car. Can’t recommend enough. Worth every penny.

beis

Just took this for a weekend away. I truly love this bag. Riley does, too. It’s worth the money and a great gift. Also just saw you can grab it for $86 if you sign up for texts. Not a bad idea! The shoe compartment is so great. This last trip it fit two pairs of shoes and my hair dryer!

To all moms and bonus moms everywhere, you are what keeps the world turning. Keep loving hard and caring like you do. It all matters and has a profound ripple effect. And please take some time to rest today. Wishing you all a really lovely day.

round table

Good morning. Just came in from the porch. I try to get sunlight as soon as I wake up (before I open the phone). Anyone else in the habit of doing that? It feels so good and is a great way to begin the day. How was your weekend? Sharing bits and pieces of life Continue Reading …

Warm & Inviting Decor

April 29, 2026 by Courtney Leave a Comment

warm and inviting

I often think back to my parents home and how warm and inviting it was. They both had a great design sense and created really beautiful spaces. What I wouldn’t give to magically be back in that home. I would love to incorporate more pieces with pattern and warmth – something I am working on. Continue Reading …
