J.McLaughlin Sale & Splurge

Venus Palm Tree Heels

My favorite thing about Florida is the palm trees. They fill the landscape, my garden and my home. I also have a great pair of palm tree earrings. The palm tree shoes above are a collaboration of Frances Valentine with J.McLaughlin. I have been eyeing these since they launched in April.

Fabulous FV Sale

Frances Valentine

 

Frances Valentine has lots of great pieces as much as 75% off. And not just spring and summer things - lots of wonderful fall and winter items as we head into colder weather. The sale just launched.

Frances Valentine @ Dillard's

Poplin Origami Flower Boatneck Sleeveless Midi Dress

 

If you are a fan of Frances Valentine and Dillard's like I am, many Dillard's stores have Frances Valentine collections as well as a large selection online. Online is a favorite source of mine for Frances Valentine at really great sale prices.

In a Crabby Mood

Frances Valentine Crab Sandals

 

I really liked these Frances Valentine crab sandals but never pulled the trigger on them. I found them yesterday at Nordstrom Rack for under $50 - they retail for $298. They are so fun. In DC, I wore high heels every day. Flats are so much more comfortable, I'm afraid here in Florida, my heels are all gathering dust.

Caftans & Craks @ CCC

Frances Valentine Embroidered Charming Caftan

 Frances Valentine is having a summer sale with up to 60% off and it is an excellent opportunity to grab some great pieces at great prices. And I have my eye on a couple of caftans on sale for my new mahjong obsession. Caftans are a perfect pairing with mahjong - chic and comfortable. The caftan above would be great paired with these Limoncello tiles.

Embroidered Charming Caftan

 

Frances Valentine is having a sale with some of my favorite pieces at great prices. An example is their iconic embroidered caftan. I have four of these including the navy and pink version above. It is such a statement piece and one of the most comfortable things I own.

New Caftan Colors

Embroidered Peacock Charming Caftan

 

A favorite piece in my wardrobe is Frances Valentine's Embroidered Peacock Charming Caftan. I have four and love them all. There are two new colors available that are wonderful. They are a bit more understated than the more vibrant tropical colors and very easy to wear.

Pink & Green

Frances Valentine Peacock Caftan

My favorite caftan has come out in two new fabulous colors that need to find their way into my closet - pink and green.

My love for Frances Valentine began in 2021 with their fabulous peacock caftan and my move to Florida. It was the perfect look for my new life in South Florida.

The Turtle Ring

Frances Valentine Pearl Turtle Ring

I love animal motif jewelry and have many pieces. This ring is a luminous pearl set in a sculptural turtle design, finished in white and gold tones. The Pearl Turtle Ring brings a touch of whimsy to refined styling. Designed to bring an unexpected statement that feels both timeless and playful.

More Valentine's Day

Frances Valentine - Elyce Arons

 

This is Elyce Arons, CEO of Frances Valentine, trying on some great pieces from their Warehouse Sale that is on now. This skirt would be perfect for Valentine's Day and it is on sale reduced from $398.00 to $98.00 with free shipping. I love it because I love feathers and this feather fringe skirt has feathers made of organza - so much more durable than real feathers that you have to be careful with. Also available in black and in silver.
