Saks Friends & Family Sale

If you're not still reeling from Shopbop's friends and family sale last week, you're in for quite a treat! Saks is offering 20% off with code FRIENDS at checkout. Here are some of the lovelies I'd like to be adding to my cart...

Longchamp tote bag / Diptyque candle

Nars lipstick / Pour La Victoire pointed toe wedges

RED Valentino bow wedges / Nars blush / Kate Spade sparkly studs

I'm in love with the packaging of Nars blush and lipstick so those two are the most likely to come live with me! I have the lipstick in jungle red (the perfect red lipstick for redheads!) and would love to add Funny Face and Schiap to my collection. What goodies will you be scooping up? Shop Saks here and don't forget to enter FRIENDS for 20% off through April 29!

Flower Power

Yesterday Michael and I were running errands and popped into a local florist where I spent an inordinate amount of money on flowers with which to photograph some new products for the boutique. Sticker shock aside, I can't tell you how happy it makes me to have some fresh blooms around here...

Whether you're entertaining or just treating yourself to something pretty for your desktop or your dresser, there's nothing like a fresh bouquet to put a skip in your step! I went with blue and white hydrangea and pink peonies. What's your bloom of choice?

Colored Denim

When it comes to describing my style, I definitely veer more toward "classic" than "trendy." But that doesn't mean I don't keep up with what's new in the fashion world. I just pick and choose which trends are right for me as opposed to replenishing my wardrobe every season with items that will be "out" in a few months. One current trend I can definitely get behind is colored denim. Here's a decidedly classic spin on the look:

Tory Burch sunglasses / Design Darling link bangle in navy and white (only $25 each!)

Aubin & Wills gold button blouse / Juicy Couture colored denim

 Madewell leather tote / J.Crew striped espadrilles

For me the trick is to pair the trendier piece (in this case the light blue denim) with classic accessories like these link bangles and tortoiseshell sunglasses. Note that you could easily wear this same outfit with colored denim in pink, red, or yellow! What do you think of this look — and does your style tend to be more classic or trendy?
