Hello + welcome to this tiny space on the internet! I created this blog (+ changed the name twice since) 14 years ago as a creative outlet from my career in the emergency room as a PA. After spending the past 7 (or so) years on social media outlets, I have decided to delete all of the ones associated with this blog and get back to the heart of blogging.
I wanted to keep this short + sweet with a few brands that I think are worth shopping this weekend. I know that all the sales can be overwhelming and I want to break it down into items or brands that I think are worth your time + money. As always, don’t feel like you need to shop any sales this weekend. Spend time with friends + family instead 🙂
ABLE: 25% off sitewide with code: USA25 – You can see all my picks here!
Abercrombie: 20% off sitewide + 15% off additional on certain items
This skirt is on major rotation and has the perfect fit. It is a bit heavier weight which makes it NOT see through and it moves beautifully. I just wore it in NYC with a simple black crop top and sneakers! The blue floral one would look really cute with the matching top for any event you may have!
This traveler romper is simple and really cute on with simple slides or sneaks! They also have it in the tank/pant combo which is great for year round styling.
Aerie: 40-70% off – coral swimsuits 1 // 2, high waisted short, plunge poppy lace bra
Athleta: UP TO 60% OFF – shop all my favorites here
Avene: You can use the code: SUMMER25 for 25% off at Avene right now! It’s the perfect time to stock up. These are the products I have been using on my redness prone skin (thanks to rosacea as I age) and I absolutely LOVE them. I use this lotion for my face, thermal spring water (this stuff is pretty amazing, read about it here), this tinted SPF face cream, + this cleansing lotion. Their products are so gentle and contrary to the belief, you do NOT need to use a million products to have great skin. A nice cleanser and lotion along with some prescription retinol can go a long way.
Freda Salvador: Summer sale here
H&M: 20% off sitewide – the sandals I wear all the time, this swimsuit is really cute in lime and pink, the crop tank I have in few colors and wear all the time + their kids sections are my favorite!
Hanna Andersson: Love this brand for kids wear – up to 60% off
J. Crew: EXTRA 60% off sale // linen beach shirt from my capsule wardrobe, cotton poplin shirt in stripe, cardigan sweater – similar to JK one – I would size up for oversized feel, tiered maxi similar to the one in my summer capsule, toe ring slingback sandals, pull-on linen shorts, + high neck tank dress
Jenni Kayne: 20% off sweaters with code: SWEATERS20 // Cashmere cocoon cardigan (they actually just restocked the cotton cocoon cardigan so I may try that one and sell my cashmere one for my versatility through the seasons), drift dress, oiled leather sandal, tiered dress from my capsule wardrobe
Madewell: up to 60% off
Nike: Huge Nike sale – I like picking up the kids shoes for the new school year during these sales!
Target: 30% off sandals, dresses, tops, etc. // amazing running shorts I wore recently, adorable linen shift dress, I have these in two colors, + this top + matching pant set.
Tommy John: I worked with this brand for years when I was on IG and I truly LOVED everything from them. Their pajamas are a dream and I still wear them daily now. My husband loves their underwear, shorts, tees – basically everything. 30% off $150+
Items I think are worth it: this Jenni Kayne look alike raffia bag that is currently 40% off with code: MDW, this poplin tiered maxi skirt that is in my summer capsule wardrobe, Our Leighton dining table, our gorgeous blue table lamp, $14 high waisted linen shorts, boxy crop tank,
