Weekend Shopping

 I so love the fact that stores are starting to roll out their pre-fall and fall collections. It has been so incredibly hot in Nashville this summer… words cannot describe how excited I am for cooler days, cozy nights in, and everyone’s favorite season, Sweater weather!

I always link my ‘Weekend Shopping’ series on my LTK and ShopMy, and thought it would make for a really great blog series as well! Here are my finds from this weekend! 

One// Tory Burch Romy Suede Tote

Every now and then Tory Burch comes out with an exceptionally beautiful bag, and this is most definitely one of them. I looked at this bag in person over the weekend and swoon… the look, the feel, and everything about this bag is just perfection.

Two// Veronica Beard Alexie Suede Midi Skirt

I am quickly becoming a fan of all things Veronica Beard. I absolutely love how this skirt has a classic look with a modern twist.  Definitely a piece that will be a go-to for years to come!

Three// J. Crew Barn Jacket

I have seen so many dreamworthy barn jackets for the fall, but this one is by far my favorite. The plaid and the rich brown color is what fall dreams are made of

Four// Natalie in Espresso Polished Calf

I am such a fan of all things Sarah Flint. The style and quality of these shoes will last you for years to come. I acquired my first pair in 2020 and they honestly still look like new. The Natalie is a personal favorite of mine and the new Espresso color is just such a dream for the fall and those occasional warm winter days. Use code: SARAHFLINT-LAUREN-15 for 15% off your first Sarah Flint purchase.

Five// YSL Vanity Bag in Raffia Wicker

I personally love the fact that the Raffia Wicker bags have become widely popular. I have such a soft spot for vintage inspired materials and designs and this one hits both of those. Such a classic look for summer and early fall!

Six// Elemis Pro-Collagen Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm

The older I get, the more interested I become interested I become in all things skincare. I love the fact that Elemis has collagen is pretty much all of their products. From what I have read, collagen is key to the anti-aging process…

Seven// Hill House Home Mila Dress

Hill House’s pre-fall, fall, and holiday collection are by far my favorite collections of theirs. Love how this dress moves and the fact that it is so flattering!

Eight// Pomander Place Beechwood Crewneck Jack Sweater

I am a dress and sweater addict – in my opinion, you can never have too many dress or sweaters. Love how this one can be styled with pants or leggings!

Nine// Sezane Amiel Jumper

I first discovered Sezane during the fall (when all good things happen) of 2023, and haven’t looked back since. Their knitwear is such a dream!

Ten// LAKE Pajamas

Lake Pajamas, always and always, please. Along with anyone who has ever work LAKE pajamas, I love their sleepwear. The Long-Long style is my personal favorite and I love the colorways they have come out with for pre-fall

Eleven// Williams-Sonoma Quick Bread Mix, Spiced Pecan Pumpkin

Williams-Sonoma makes the best pumpkin flavored everything. Try this or any of their other pumpkin items, I promise you won’t regret it.

Tweleve// Juliska Puro Tortoiseshell 6” Vase

Tortoiseshell and fall are just a match made in heaven. I actually gifted my mom this vase in blue a few Christmases ago, and it has turned out to be one of her favorite vases.

Thirteen// Teddy Boucle Shift Dress

I saw this dress over the weekend, and I have to say, the tweed material is even more beautiful in person. Truly a piece that will last for years to come

Fourteen// Golden Goose Ball Star Low Top Sneaker

I am such a Golden Goose junkie. Their sneakers just add an element of fun to any outfit. Really love this rich shade of green for fall and winter – would look so good with black leggings or blue jeans!

Fifteen// Nordic Ware Lil’ Pumpkin Cakelets Pan

Mini cakes in the shape of pumpkins… need I say more? This cake pan makes me feel like I need to turn Gilmore Girls on and bake up a pumpkin spice confection on an overcast autumn day

Sixteen// Hermes Rouge Silky Lip Shine 

This item is definitely an indulgence, but so worth it. Love this luxury item

Seventeen// Ferragamo Medium Leather Tote Bag

Really love how this tote is the perfectly oversized, has a buttery leather, but is also understated and really great for everyday

Eighteen// Witch + Broomstick Taper Candles, Set of 2

I am so excited for fall and all of the BER months. Anthropologie, per usual, has come out with some of the cutest things, right down to the candle sticks

Link I'm Loving

 Is anyone else in slight shock over the fact that we are officially in the first week of August and some schools have already started back… Personally, I think summer breaks should last a little longer, but also, so beyond excited that my favorite season of the year is just around the corner! 

One// The Scarlet Nap Dress

I am so loving all the transitional prints and colorways that are popping up across different websites and stores. The cosmos floral stripe is just everything!

Two// Martha Stewart Re-Releasing Her First Book

I know there is a new Instagram trend going around where the caption is “dress like Ralph Lauren, cook like Ina, and host like Martha”. Let’s face facts, when Martha Stwart is in any equation, she can do all the above. I am such a fan hers. It is just awe inspiring to see how she bought her vision to life and is always constantly reinventing herself and keeping up with the times. I am so excited for the re-release of her very first book, now available for pre-order on Amazon! 

Three// 26 Beach Reads

If you are in search of a book to read than this article is for you. I have been trying to be better about reading more this summer, and this list is such a win!

Four// Sarah Flint Stella in Floral Silk

I am completely obsessed with this new print from Sarah Flint. The gold and brown floral tons are just so perfect to transition for the end of summer to fall. These are seriously a showstopper and so comfortable! Use code: SARAHFLINT-LAUREN-15 for 15% off your first Sarah Flint order!

Five// Claire Saffitiz Perfect Bagel

I have been such a fan of Claire Saffitiz since her early days on the BA test kitchen. As weird as it sounds, I really love watching cooking videos at night… there is just something so relaxing about them. Really loved this particular one!

Weekend Shopping

 Is there anything better than at the end of a long week than leisurely weekend morning, snuggled up in a warm bed, browsing the internet for your next great find? I usually share a ‘Weekend Shopping’ post on my LTK and Instagram stories but thought I would start sharing them on here as well.

This year has been such a blur this year, and I seriously cannot believe how fast the summer is sailing by. Personally, I am loving the color pallet most brands seem to be gravitating towards this season. All the styles just make for such an easy, beautiful classic look!

One// Jade Terrace Cotton Linen Payton Wrap Skirt

Tuckernuck is seriously bringing their A game this summer. I love everything about this skirt and it would be so perfect paired with a sweater when the weather starts to cool down

Two// Sage Seersucker Gingham Royal Shirt Dress

I have this dress in two other colors, and the style is so timeless. It does run slightly large, so if you are between sizes I would definitely recommend sizing down

Three// Green Stone Washed Cotton Anne Crewneck Sweater

I feel like this sweater just scream East Coast Summer… seriously why do Southern summers have to be so hot… weather aside, I love everything about this sweater

Four// The Tessa One Piece

Hill House is another company that is totally winning the summer collection game! I have a suit of theirs from a few summers ago, and it is so flattering! The one I have does run a little on the small side, so if you are on the fence, I would go up one size

Five// Cooper Cardigan

Jenni Kayne sweaters are such an investment piece that you will have for years to come. Honestly, hands down, their sweaters are my favorite

Five// Pretty Delicious Cookbook

I love to cook; it such a great way for me to just zone out and this cookbook really does look pretty delicious…

Six// Classic Bamboo Side Plate

Who wouldn’t love this plate – practical and beautiful!

Seven// Ribbon Bow Bag

It has a bow…need I say more?

Eight// Sarah Flint Block Heel

I actually have this Heel in multiple colors… it is so comfortable and just such a great classic shoe to have on hand. Use code SARAHFLINT-LAUREN-15 for 15% off

Nine// Krewe Sunglasses

Krewe has become one of my favorite sunglass companies over the years. I love their take on classic styles and their glasses are just timeless

Ten// Seaport Pencil Tray

I honestly wish I could hop into this tray and sail away…

Eleven// Luica Short

I really appreciate how J. Crew is leaning towards designs that mimic some of their things from decades ago. These shorts are such a win

Twelve// La Roche – Posay Double Repair Face Moisturizer with SPF30

I am all about any face cream with SPF and this is honestly just such a great brand!

Thriteen// Loffler Randall Sandal

Theses sandals are just timeless and would be so easy to dress up or down

Link I'm Loving

It is so hard to believe that the year is a little more than halfway over! I really try to soak in time and not rush things along, because the older I get the more time seems to slip by (hopefully it will slow down eventually). Anyhow, here are a few links I am loving from this week!  

One// The 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century

I feel like it is always so hard to think of a good movie to watch… the New York Times recently put together a list of the top 100 movies of the 21st century… and there are some really great ones listed and some I probably will never watch (to be honest)… but if you are in search of a movie, you should check this list out!

Two// Baddie Betty

This is one of my new favorite Instagram accounts. Baddie Betty is endlessly entertaining and actually gives pretty good advice (for the most part) in a very comical way

Three// 12 Books to Help You Love Reading Again

So far this year, most of the books I have read are books that I have listened to on audible. This article was stood out to me because I feel like I really need to get back in the habit of reading physical books…

Four// Hill House Fourth of July Sale

Is there anything better than a Hill House Sale?! Their summer collections have just been so perfect, and I absolutely love the new silhouettes and prints they have come out with.

Five// Claire Saffitz Tokyo Bananas 

I have been such a fan of Clair Saffitz since she first started out in the BA test kitchen. Per usual, this is such a fun watch
