Unplugged.

Cordless lights are everywhere right now, and some are better than others.

But I can’t deny the pull. Easy mood shift, low commitment, and just the right thing as we start migrating outdoors, stretching the evenings, and entertaining a little more…loosely.

Cordless, rechargeable, portable…here are a few that shade toward the “better.”

From top left, in order: The Sun / Verglas / Reverse / Ray / Pao / Bellhop / Scallop / Tawa / Blossom

And before the Memorial Day inbox chaos fully takes hold, a personally curated list of where I may have a few saved carts on deck:

Home — Armadillo Rugs — Always at the top of my list. The discounts are good…really good. — Sixpenny — Relaxed, easy, great fabrics. Code: PRACTICALMAGIC — Lemieux et Cie — Permanently on my radar. 20% OFF sitewide — Visual Comfort — A no-brainer. Several clients have already turned lighting purchases into airline points. — House of Leon — Pieces that play very well with others.

Personal — Toteme — Ever since wandering their flagship in Copenhagen last fall, I’ve been more than a little obsessed. Cart currently…overflowing. — Apiece Apart — One of those brands I’m always circling. Selected items on sale — Emme Parsons — Yes, apparently I do need new pool slides for the season. — Caddis — A longtime go-to for my much-needed readers. 30% OFF everything — COS — Still have Europe on the brain…and when it’s on sale? 30% OFF selected pieces — Dermstore — Revision loyalist, reporting for duty. Code: SUN

A PSA, with love: A good sale does not magically create a need. Even if the discount is excellent. Even if the marketing is sexy. Even if your inbox is whispering very convincingly.

If you don’t love it — or don’t already know exactly where it belongs — let it go.

Happy long weekend!
