Proven Skincare Discount

You’ve heard me praise Proven Skincare time and time again for its convenience and efficacy, but did you know that you can also occasionally… pay less money for it? Since my followers are Proven devotees, the company offered me another discount code: MARYSPRING will get you their completely customized skincare system – the whole kit and caboodle! – for $99. That is a STEAL for some of the best skincare I’ve ever tried. If your current routine has countless steps and you honestly aren’t sure if any of them are working, Proven is well worth a try.

Affordable Picture Light

Once you’ve made an artwork purchase and paid (quite a bit) to have it framed, wouldn’t it be nice if you could, I don’t know, see it? If you’ve ever searched for artwork lighting you may have noticed that it can be obscenely pricey. HOWEVER, I’ve found one that’s not and I share it with you because I believe deeply that everyone (and everything) deserves proper lighting.

Athleta Lounge Set

You may have recently seen me wear the Athleta Triumph Lounge set (top and pants) as I demonstrated to my husband and indeed the world that packing six pairs of shoes for a 36-hour trip is not only justified but also necessary. But DID YOU KNOW that this is also the best-fitting, most comfortable lounge set in existence? It comes in an extensive size range that includes petite, regular and tall options, and you can shop it directly from my Reel by hitting the “View Products” button at the bottom of your screen!

Birdies Sneaker Launch

Excellent news for our feet: Birdies has just released their first-ever lace-up sneaker! I got the Cardinal style option in gold and they are one of the most comfortable sneakers I’ve ever worn. But, it’s Birdies, so are we surprised? We are not surprised. These sneakers are perfectly supportive and cushioned for everyday wear, and they’re somehow also one of the most stylish footwear arrivals we’ve seen in quite a while. This is an easy yes.

Sleeper On Sale

You’re likely familiar with Sleeper, but did you also know that they’re a Ukrainian brand? As we remain mindful of the horrible situation in Ukraine, we can also continue to think of ways to help as much as we can. Sleeper is included in the Saks Friends & Family Sale, and all of their incredible loungewear is on sale. I’ve actually hosted multiple dinner parties wearing this feather set, which can be styled separately or together with fun accessories and jewelry for a unique (and comfortable!) party look.

In The Roundhouse

I recently discovered In The Roundhouse and it was such a breath of fresh air when it comes to setting the table. Everything is whimsical yet chic and amazingly affordable for the quality. Many of their pieces are on sale here at Saks, and there are even more options to explore here. A set of their wave plates in all four colors just arrived at our house and I plan to use them to create a colorfully mis-matched table for Liza’s upcoming first birthday party dinner.

Fondant Cake Toppers On Etsy

Liza’s birthday is coming up, and I was recently researching options on Etsy, because of course you can find everything on Etsy. I love the idea of a fondant cake topper, because it lets you bake the cake yourself (saving $$ and adding a personal touch) but if your decorating skills aren’t the best you just give it a basic coat of frosting and sub in one of these fondant cuties to make it look professional!

Rachel Gilbert

I have a new obsession when it comes to special occasionwear and we need to talk about it. Rachel Gilbert creates countless stunning dresses you’ll be so happy to rely on for any upcoming celebrations, special events, etc. The dress I’ve linked here isn’t reading quite right on this model, but that’s because it’s too large for her. It comes in tons of colors and looks stunning when sized correctly!

Meri Meri Easter

There is no children’s party brand that’s as aesthetically pleasing as Meri Meri. The brand is so good at finding that middle ground between childhood whimsy and elevated style. You almost want to frame some of these party essentials rather than use them. Easter is (quickly) approaching, so make sure you peruse every spring-y selection, stat. I ordered the gingham bunny napkins and the cookie cutters but everything is so cute.
