Le Creuset Rectangular Baking Dishes

We use this set of three rectangular baking dishes from Le Creuset CONSTANTLY and Nordstrom has stocked the set in six colors that are all currently 30% off. If you’re not familiar, Le Creuset is the gold standard in glazed stoneware dishes that are broiler, oven and microwave safe. Oh, and they last a lifetime. The deep sidewalls and varying sizes make this specific set ideal for baking, roasting, marinating, even storing leftovers. We also use the small one for baked hors d’oeuvres all the time.

Tuckernuck Bow Dress

I was furious when I first spotted this electric pink bow dress and it was completely sold out (for obvious reasons). But, Tuckernuck restocked it and you better believe I was first in line. I was fully on board with the hot pink midi dress alone, but then they went and added that black sequin bow embellishment which killed me. I could not resist. And, if you’re feeling festive, the citron style with feather-cuffed elbow-length sleeves is another conversation starter!

Spanx Racerback Bra

A good bra is hard to find. I’d like to share my current favorite because somewhere, someone is always in the market. They named this lightly lined racerback bra from Spanx the “Bra-llelujah” because holy moly, is it a Godsend. Ultra comfortable, the lift and support is ideal for medium-large chests. It has an easy front closure and dig-free “SmartStretch” straps. My code MARYOXSPANX is still active for 10% off.

Banjanan Tiered Rainbow Skirt

I bought a skirt similar to this tiered one from Banjanan last summer and wore it EVERYWHERE. People were furious every time I wore it in my Instagram stories because it sold out so fast. This one is a lightweight voile with an elastic waistband and sweet candy stripe pattern. It’s pretty, breathable and based on the DMs, an item with very high sell-out potential. Snag this one while you can. Did I mention the waist is elastic? Are we noticing a trend?

Emme Parsons Laurie Sandals

I have been waiting over a year for these Emme Parsons Laurie sandals to be restocked in my size and it was worth the wait. You might hear “toe ring” and think of a drum circle at Burning Man, but Emme Parsons has incorporated a gold toe ring into her Laurie flats that looks like modern art for your feet. They come in black and this rich Cacao Nappa leather (the colorway I chose!). The leather stretches over time, but I’d still recommend going up one full size.

Favorite Daughter Shirt

This floral button-down from Favorite Daughter is, for all intents and purposes, the spring and summer shacket we all need and deserve. I would wallpaper my bedroom with this antique floral pattern, but until that becomes an option, I’ll just wear it on my back everyday. And, because of its long, curved hem and mid-weight fabric, it can be worn as a shirt or as a lightweight spring jacket over… absolutely anything in your closet.

Perfect Pleated Shorts

These pleated A-line shorts from Anthropologie are officially the chicest short for summer. Say that ten times fast. The ivory colorway matches everything and the A-line silhouette is flattering on everyone. Whether you dress it up with a crisp button-down and statement jewelry or dress it down with a tank top, I promise you’ll be wearing these shorts all summer long.

BTB Los Angeles Straw Clutch

My love affair with all things straw for spring/summer lives on in this woven clutch bag from boho chic brand BTB Los Angeles. The clutch has a twist lock closure and removable gold strap, so it can be worn as a crossbody. I personally like the natural straw, but these additional colors (sage, black and petal pink) are also cute options for adding a pop of color to your spring ‘fits.

De Loreta Palazzo Pants

The female-founded brand De Loreta celebrates Latin American history and folklore through its use of bold colors and vivid prints. Take a look at their collection, it’s truly magical. I may be too pregnant for a trip to Rio right now, but that doesn’t mean I can’t dress like I just got back. I love all of their designs but this swingy print palazzo pant is currently in my cart. It’s such a vibrant piece that speaks for itself. All you have to do is pair it with a tank, tee or sweater set and head out the door.

Hair Accessories Organizer

Having two small daughters (and a third on the way) means our house sometimes looks like a hair accessories boutique. That’s why this hair accessory organizer is so necessary. The tiered design is made from a sleek acrylic that’s easy to put together and display all their hair things without the mess. It comes in a two or three tiered design, which is great, but with a third girl on the way, I may need them to start adding more tiers.
