DESIREE’S FRIDAY FAVORITES 4/25/25

Happy Friday! It’s been a full (and fun!) week over here, and I’m always so happy when Friday rolls around and the weekend starts to settle in.

I’m incredibly thankful to have shared a full week of blog posts with you—and it makes me even happier knowing you’ve been enjoying them!

In case you missed anything, here’s a little recap from this week:
-I kicked things off with a reader favorite—5 Things I’m Loving, featuring a dress I ordered for my upcoming Nantucket trip.
-I introduced a brand new series called In With The New, perfect for refreshing your home and style.
-I highlighted some charming seaside tabletop pieces I spotted at Target—so good for summer entertaining.
-And in this week’s Coffee with Desi, I opened up about a few personal things that have been on my heart lately.

Before we start! Here are all the details of my dining room details in the photo above: dining table / dining chairs / similar place mats / similar vase / candlestick holders / tapers / fine art print on wall / console

Okay, let’s get started on DESIREE’S FRIDAY FAVORITES 4/25/25!

J.Crew Factory Sale

I also rounded up some amazing sales, like up to 60% off new arrivals at J.Crew Factory. When they do a sale, they really do a sale! So many cute finds—especially if you’re planning a summer getaway. The dresses I’m wearing here are perfect for Mother’s Day and any fun spring or summer events on your calendar. Each one fits true to size.

The Cutest Tee I Ordered at J.Crew Factory

Also at J.Crew Factory! I finally ordered this adorable yellow striped tee this morning —on sale for just $14.95! I’ve had my eye on it for a while and couldn’t pass it up at that price. I’m always on the lookout for cute, easy tees, and this one checks all the boxes. It fits true to size and is just so fun for spring and summer.

Here’s a look I put together this week featuring this tee— drawstring jeans (I ordered these too), ruffle raffia bag (this is the updated version of a bag I already have), woven ballet flats (on sale for 30% off)

More J.Crew Factory Finds I Love

I’m also loving these new arrivals I tried on at J.Crew Factory—just in time for summer!

Crochet is having a moment this season, and I couldn’t resist trying on this white crochet top. It pairs so perfectly with jeans and has such a fresh, breezy feel. The striped sweater is another favorite—lightweight, ideal for summer travel, and so cute draped over your shoulders for a chic nautical touch.

The floral flutter-sleeve ruffle top is absolutely adorable—light as air and a great match for your go-to denim. And can we talk about these mesh sandals? So fun and stylish, they’re perfect for dressing up your summer looks.

Everything fits true to size and feels just as good as it looks!

The Ann Event is back!

Ann Taylor is also running a great sale right now—The Ann Event—where you can save 30% sitewide!

Let me just say… I’m definitely having an Ann Taylor moment. Their new summer collection just arrived, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. I found some beautiful pieces I couldn’t resist adding to my cart—like this pink pointelle polo sweater, the textured sweater jacket, a textured off-the-shoulder sweater, and the belted sheath dress in the prettiest shade of pink. So many classic, feminine styles to love!
