06.29.2025 // New & Noteworthy
New arrivals that caught my eye, 4th of July sales, new podcast episodes and more!
I hope you are having a lovely weekend!
It was another rainy Saturday here in Maine (I'm starting to wonder if it will rain all summer…?! Let’s hope not.) This week’s New & Noteworthy post is a bit more simplified than usual, with a focus on new arrivals and sales (because, oh my goodness, the sales are in full force right now!) I hope you will find some new products or discounted items that catch your eye.
Until next time!

NEW LAUNCHES OF NOTE
Eleanor Leftwich launched her Pre-Fall collection.
I am tempted by the tissue crewneck sweaters; they feel like such a great wardrobe basic.
Alice Walk launched new crochet cotton sweaters.
I have been on the hunt for a nice white cotton sweater, so maybe this will be what I order?! It looks perfect for summer nights in Maine.
My friend Tara Roma Gill launched a wonderful collection of table linens and wallpapers/fabrics, all of which feature her wonderful hand-painted artwork.
I ordered this tablecloth and can’t wait to use it this summer in Maine!
Elizabeth Lake (one of my favorite brands for cocktail napkins and table linens) launched a collaboration with New York-based interior designer Augusta Hoffman, of delft tile inspired cocktail napkins.
Nili Lotan launched their Pre-Fall collection.
This cozy cardigan is now on my wish list!
I am not really a leather jacket gal but this quilted leather jacket caught my eye!
We already own many more Chappy Wrap fleece blankets than we need at our house in Maine (they are so so cozy!) but this new Quilt Pattern is just so cute and perfect for our house, so I think I might need to order it!
SALES TO SHOP NOW
Oh my gosh, there are so many sales right now…I did not realize that ‘4th of July’ has become just another opportunity for brands to run a range of sales…! BUT, we know I love an excuse to find a great deal, so I will surely take advantage of some of these sales.
Frame - extra 30% off sale
This striped cashmere sweater is in my shopping cart!
And then you all know I own and love this white cinched-waist dress (I wear my true size, XL.) See the dress in action here.
use code: NAN15 at checkout for an extra discount (on both sale and full-priced items!)
Hill House - extra 20% off select styles with the code HAPPY4th
I own and love this pink long-sleeved dress, and I am always surprised that it is not sold out / or that people don’t talk about it more often. I find it really comfortable and flattering! (I took my true size XL.) See me in the dress here.
Julia Amory - new styles added to sale!
I own two of their Tippi Tops (a sleeveless knit), and they are great wardrobe basics. I take my true size, XL. See me in my Tippi Top here.
KULE - up to 40% off select styles.
You all know I love their Modern Long Striped Shirt (I size up to a XXL for a boxier fit.) I have this ’New York’ sweatshirt in my shopping cart!
Over The Moon - 15% off select styles with code FIREWORKS
Any time Over The Moon has a sale like this, I find it to be a great time to buy items from home brands that I don’t usually see go on sale, like Sabre flatware or Carolina Irving and Daugthers ceramics.
This is the silverware we use at our house in Maine (and we love it!)
We also own this trio shell dish and I love to use it for nuts/crackers during cocktails.
Sephora - if you are a ‘Beauty Insider’ (aka you have a Sephora login) you can redeem 500 extra points when you spend $75 by using the code PLUSPOINTS
This was all I needed as motivation to place an order for a range of items that I had in my Sephora shopping cart.
I ordered a mini size of this primer that so many people seem to love.
And then I also bought this mini ‘glowy’ illuminator that people also love as a primer.
^Can you tell that I am really on the case to find a base product I can use throughout the summer to give me a nice glow!
A few other items that caught my eye from Sephora:
our favorite Le Chouchou Lip Balm now comes in a new pretty ‘Guava’ colorway!
if you are a itCosmetics gal, their fan favorite lightweight foundation is on sale right now!
*this Sephora mention is sponsored
Toteme - new styles added to their sale, up to 40% off
I’ve always loved the look of this embroidered sweater! Maybe it is time to order it while it is discounted.
I own and love this quilted barn jacket in a light tan (which seems to no longer be available) but I sort of like this brown colorway even more! This coat runs VERY big, so be sure to size down - I sized down 2 sizes to a M (vs my usual XL.) See the coat styled on me here.
I own this cable knit sweater in a dark grey and am tempted to order it in this ivory color while its on sale…! (I own this in my true size XL, and it is oversized on me but in a nice way!)
Tower28 - 20-28% off site wide
You all know I swear by their concealer, I use it more or less every day, and own multiple tubes, so I never travel without it. I find their shade range pretty flexible: I own both shade 4 and 7.
This could also be a great time to buy their new SPF (which I own and have been happy with, it could be a great option if you have sensitive skin!)
Veronica Beard - take an extra 20% off items already on sale with the code: FIREWORKS2025
I have been eyeing this white eyelet dress and might need to order it now that I see its on sale!
ON THE PODCAST
Have you listened to episodes of Gems and Friends yet? This is my new podcast that I have started with my friend .
Episode 7 - Gems and Amanda Jones Vaughan
It was a joy to chat with the lovely and chic about everything from her career in fashion to the juggles of motherhood and much more.
Episode 8 - Self Image and GLP1s.
This episode is a bit more raw as we get into the topic of body image, confidence, weight loss and GLP1s. We chat about and how she continually inspires us to aim to be more ‘body neutral’ and why we think someone’s body size is the least interesting thing about them.
