Every Wednesday, I’ll bring you a list of ten things that I think you should know about. I’m excited for this. I often stumble across something interesting and will share it to Instagram, but it has no real place to live. Maybe it’s a new launch, a really great podcast episode . . . maybe it’s an independent designer, an artist, or a must-have shopping find. It will be a different mix every week. You can read last week’s installment here.
We are back with our biweekly edit of under-$200 favorites. There are so many great pieces in this week’s round-up, especially the accessories. I need to shout out these red track pants, they are amazing and look like Donni. I wore them on my flight to LA and plan to wear them again tomorrow on my flight to New York. They run true-to-size, I sized up and wish I hadn’t. I am a broken record about this, but if you are new here, I have a “great style under $200” section on my ShopMy page that I update multiple times a week, if not every day!
Every week on Instagram, I share the previous week’s best-selling products. You can always see those collections, saved here on my ShopMy Page. It’s fun to see what pieces resonate most with you. To build on our weekly best-sellers series), we wanted to introduce a styling element. Each Monday, I will choose three of the previous week’s favorite styles and show you how to wear them. Today, we are styling these fun sandals that feel like jewelry, this super cool beaded bag, and this adorable Farm Rio dress. You have great taste!
