The Weekend Guide 07.01.16

COO
Farm animals wearing expensive jewelry is one of my favorite things of the week. (Most of their gems cost more than what’s in my jewelry box!)

SPEND
We all know that spending time outdoors is good for you, but it could be better than we ever thought possible with a measurable reduction in stress, higher levels of creativity, and spiritual and emotional benefits. Just 10 to 15 minutes a day is enough to start reaping the benefits.

LEARN
Honeymoon history is as surprising as the word’s etymology. (On a related note, how cute is that photo from Danielle’s wedding? Her vintage dress is gorgeous, too.)

SNAP
Fourth of July weekend means an influx of firework Instagrams. Make yours the best of the bunch with these tips.

MEET
You know how much I love learning more about jewelry designers. New-to-me designer Ina Beissner has caught my attention with this interview. Browse her collection here.

BRING
Potlucks and cookouts are usually code for unhealthy meals, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Here are two recipes to try next time you’re asked to bring a dish to pass.

NOTABLE SALES
Anthropologie: extra 30% off sale with code EVENBETTER
Furbish Studio: 20% off sitewide with code FIREWORKS
J.Crew: 40% off summer styles here with code COOLSTYLES
Lele Sadoughi: summer steals under $100
LOFT: 50% off everything with code JULY4TH
Lulu Frost: 20% off with code JULY20
Rebecca Taylor: extra 40% off sale with code FIREWORKS
Tory Burch: extra 30% off sale with code EXTRA30

EARLIER THIS WEEK
Summer’s most interesting bag.
A collection of pretty neutrals.
Another month, another set of sartorial confessions.
Finally ponied up for a Tory Burch Fitbit bracelet, now on super sale.
I also ordered a skort for cycling, since I’m just not on board with shorts.

Happy Independence Day weekend! We’re keeping things pretty relaxed this weekend with afternoons at the pool and plenty of burgers, brats, and beer! That and plenty of sale shopping. Here are my favorites:

  • Bauble Bar – take 30% off sitewide with code RSJULY (ends 7/5). I’m all about this pair of gold fringe earrings and this stunning architectural cuff.
  • Charm & Chain – take 20% off sitewide with code FIREWORKS (ends 7/6). It’s a fantastic time to scoop up a piece from favorite designers such as ASHA, Gerard Yosca, or Lulu Frost.
  • Lulu Frost – take 20% off sitewide with code JULY4TH20. The Lulu Frost selection at Charm & Chain is limited. Head directly to the designer’s site to save on a wide selection of pieces. This necklace is high on my must-have list, along with a ring with a secret compartment, and semiprecious stone earrings.
  • DVF – take an additional 25% off all sale items with code JULY25 (ends 7/6). This dress would make for a pretty work piece.
  • J.Crew – take 40-60% off final sale with code LONGWEEKEND (ends 7/6). Final sale makes me nervous, so I usually beeline to the jewelry (always fits!) and beach cover ups (they still look good if you size up to be on the safe side).
