Saturday Shopping

Good morning! What a week. We celebrated my birthday (which is why there wasn’t a newsletter this week) and enjoyed quality time with the family. If you are local and have not tried Virago yet, oh my goodness! The best sushi we have had since moving. Today I am sharing some recent finds that I love. Grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea and let’s do some Saturday Shopping together.

ALL UNDER $30

I aways tell my kids (when they are trying on clothes) that if they want to wear it that day, it’s something they love. That is exactly what happened with this outfit. I tried it on and immediately wanted to wear it for our date night. These shorts are a fives star buy. They are under $20 and so good. The green is a beautiful color for summer. For reference, I am 5’7″ and wearing a size 2 in the shorts.

The white tank is a really nice summer staple. The denim jacket is the perfect weight ($30) but be sure to size up. I am wearing the medium.

The black sandals are under $10. I am usually a 7.5 and went with the 7. Very comfortable!

PERFECT SUMMER SHORTS

When the green shorts arrived and I LOVED them, I immediately ordered the other two colors. The length is just so good and they fit really well.

• denim jacket – size up
• white sweater tank – so good
• crossbody – I’ve worn it so much already
• shorts – ideal length, truly remind me of J.Crew but $18
• black sandals – very comfy from the start, under $10
• dress – feels like wearing pajamas, highly recommend, true to size

These sandals are living up to the hype. Soooo comfortable and darn cute. They look cute with pretty much every outfit and are soft underfoot. They were $25 and are now on sale for $20.

My son gifted me these New Balance for my birthday and I am in love. They are the perfect neutral sneaker. Beyond comfy and go with everything. They run true to size.

After years of wanting these denim shorts, my husband gave them to me for my birthday. They are a major splurge but fit so well. They are true to size. You can also find them here. They come in a longer length as well. If you are curvier and have hips (sadly I do not) I would go with the longer length.

SUMMER FUN

I hadn’t seen these until we were in Florida. They hold up so much better than a traditional umbrella or cabana. So clever because you use sand in all four pockets to weigh down the corners. Genius. This fringe version is on sale. I love the wave blue option, too (blue pinstripe).

NOW ON SALE

These white swivel chairs are fantastic. We have had them for years and love them. In fact my sister just bought four for her new home. They are more than $100 off right now. Highly recommend!

BEST SELLER

Yesterday, I shared all of the sources for this neutral bedroom. You can read the details here.

This bed was this week’s best seller. It’s so pretty and half the price of the Pottery Barn version.

NEUTRAL CLUTCH

This straw clutch is so cute! I am so excited about it. The perfect neutral bag with just a touch of glam. It comes with a gold chain to wear over your shoulder as well.

Have you tried these sports bras? I absolutely love them. In fact, I just ordered another black one.

The other one that I wear all the time for workouts is this Vuori one.

SPANX SALE

Spanx is having a HUGE sale. It’s crazy! I am absolutely ordering a few things

These adorable cargo pants are 50% off.

These best selling shorts are 50% off and now $39. This is definitely a sale worth shopping. Spanx quality is always top notch.

AVARA

Thought this top was really cute for summer. I can’t wait for it to arrive. Trying to break out of my ivory habit.

DRESSES

Well this dress is darn cute. It also comes in a green pinstripe. Would be cute for the Fourth.

A really fun look for summer vacation. Love this print.

I am always a sucker for a wide leg jumpsuit. This reads vacation mode!

The colors on this two piece! Gorgeous.

ANTHROPOLOGIE

WOW!!! I fell in love with this dress. Then I saw the price tag. Ummm, I will admire from afar.

This is a top rated dress and so pretty. Very feminine and classic.

Any country concerts coming up? This would be so cute.

The cut on this vest is spot on. Love the longer length and the back as well.

Maeve is a great brand and the cut of this is tank top is really cute.

FOURTH OF JULY

Have you seen this flag? It lights up! So darn adorable.

I ordered this sweater for the Fourth and can’t wait for it to arrive. The sleeveless is nice for July when it’s always toasty.

• flag bunting: we have these and love them (found this set on Amazon)
• floral tablecloth: fun vintage feel with a rustic background and beautiful blue
• hydrangeas: fresh is great but these will last forever (struggling over here with real plants)
• pinstripe banner: even cuter in person – 50% off
• striped throw: we have a similar plaid version and really like these blankets
• bistro chairs: obviously not a frivolous 4th purchase but wanted you to now they are on sale (we’ve had them for years and love them). Target also has these darling chairs for $60 each. They even come in red. So cute.

I shared more Fourth of July inspiration here.

TRULY FREE PRODUCTS

I haven’t shared in a while but today I did a HUGE deep clean of the kitchen and I am always so impressed with the cleaning products. Totally toxin free (great family owned company). Because I loved the dishwasher soap and laundry detergent so much, I tried more and this is what we use:

Beyond happy with all of these products. And right now you can get an extra 20% off with code: INDEPENDENCE20. You can also try the laundry detergent for free.

We order the following:

Any fun plans this weekend? We get to lay low and enjoy a slower pace which feels really great. As always, thank you for being here and doing a little bit of Saturday Shopping with me. I’ll see you back here on Monday.
