Savoir Saturday Volume 10

Welcome to Savoir Saturday Volume 10, where I share a curated selection of interesting reads, a French-inspired look to elevate your week’s style, must-see shopping finds, and a delightful friandise (treat) to sweeten your week ahead.

I had a lovely Thursday evening catching up with two dear friends. Our friendship began five years ago on the tennis courts during the Covid pandemic, and our get-togethers are always a highlight. This time, we ventured to Mariposa, a small plates and shareable-style restaurant located within the Mint Museum in Charlotte, a concept I’ve been drawn to recently.

Regrettably, our experience at Mariposa fell short of expectations. We encountered issues with the champagne selection, as they were out of two bottles, and the replacement offered was flat. The dish I initially wanted was unavailable due to a lack of ingredients, and the alternative I received was disappointingly dry. Thankfully, the wonderful company and our laughter more than compensated for the underwhelming meal. Hey, it happens!

I love the timeless color combination of cream and black – it’s universally flattering. This beautifully detailed crochet sweater would also be stunning paired with cream Bermuda shorts and a slide sandal. The ruffle sleeve detail adds femininity and makes it feel modern.

Pro tip: purchase clothing that can be styled in multiple ways. I shared these exact shoes last week, proving how versatile and stylish they are. And don’t miss my Weekly Style Archive for previous looks to provide style inspiration.

I was on the hunt for the perfect chunky toggle necklace and immediately was drawn to this one. There is a sale currently going on, and I also purchased this bracelet. Stay tuned and I will share them in an upcoming reel.
This perfect capped-toe slingback is on sale for 70% off. Designer brand on sale.
I shared a reel this week highlighting this shoe brand and have to say they have become a favorite of mine. The style I shared is a limited edition, so if you are interested, order them before they are gone. The arch support and comfort are insanely good. I have a code for you to use for 10% off your purchase: THEDAILYKELL
I snagged this $3k watch for $325 brand new. It looks like the Cartier one I have had my eye on, but at $32k, I am going to have to pass on the designer one.

My Frandise

(sweet treat)

My garden has been my focus this week as the weather warms. Though I’ve always loved being outdoors, the arrival of warmer temperatures has me especially eager to garden. A few years ago, I finally had the chance to start (though I’m still learning). I’ve been tending to my elevated garden box, adding more herbs and beautiful flowers. I’m even considering getting a few more boxes. There’s such a satisfying feeling in harvesting fresh herbs for dinner right from your own garden.
