We are always on the hunt for stylish and affordable items to spruce up our homes, and Joss and Main has become a go-to source for Matchbook girls decorating on a budget. Their curator’s collections are a delight to comb through. Brimming with hand-picked pieces from some of our favorite taste makers, J&M offers serious style at wallet-friendly prices. Above are a few favorite items from Tinsley Mortimer’s current J&M collection… but you better hurry, the sale ends soon! ;)

The Daily Fancy

This morning we couldn’t help but admire this chic J.Crew cabochon cuff on Net-A-Porter. The coral palette is perfect for summer and the crystals add such sweet sparkle. We plan to channel Diana Vreeland and Coco Chanel by wearing one on each wrist!
