I’ve perused the offerings and pulled my favorite selections in the Talbots Friends & Family event to share with you. And I’ve already gotten in two orders of brand new arrivals, so I can give you the details! I know so many of my readers love shopping Talbots for modern classic styles they can wear with confidence. I’ve shopped Talbots for over 40 years, and many of you have, too. Right now they are hosting their Friends & Family event and offering 30% off sitewide. And that includes brand new arrivals for May!

First up, let me share with you the pieces that I ordered and already got it. Some of these were comped by Talbots for an upcoming collaboration while I paid for the rest. But I’ve tried on everything and can tell you that I love it all. Everything fits beautifully true to size and I’m pleased with the quality. Here’s what I got.
I’ll be styling most of those things in a blog post next week. But I didn’t want you to miss these in the Talbots Friends & Family event. I have no idea what the prices will be next week. They’ve not given me any information on that. So I suggest shopping this weekend.
I’ve put together a few style boards that I created with some of my favorites from the Talbots Friends & Family event. Now is the time to shop these looks!

Now, here are all of my selections that I like from the new May collection. I’ve not been into the store since I’ve had a cold this week. So I haven’t tried anything on other than the orders above. So I would check reviews for sizing details.

All very nice pieces. I like the jeans and the pink earrings. This time I could enter my full email. I hope I don’t win the gift under the fake one. 😊of course chances are really good.
I’m a Talbots member, so I enjoy the sale events. I bought the gold-coloured cuff for my daughter-in-law, as a birthday present. She loved it!
Yes Tuesday before last I popped in for the fashion show and tried on some items. I ended up with the black, red, and white pants and top showed in your inserts. Fits true to size and is so cute! Thinking about ordering a couple more items. Most of the May items were very casual.
Great to hear. I haven’t seen that set in person, but it certainly looks pretty on the website.
I’ve never purchased anything from Talbots. Your picks are nice.
I really like so many of the pieces in the May Talbots collection this time! When I first received the catalog I go through and circle things I want-this time pretty much everything! LOL I can’t wait to see you style them.
Like so many of the new stules
Well, that didn’t work out well😊. I like so many of the styles you showed! Surprised to see the cute open stitch hoodie sweater is gone!
Love all of the clothing that you showed! Beautiful colors! I can’t wait to see you style what you ordered….love all of your ideas! Thank you for helping me get dressed for my day!
You are such an inspiration!
Love all your pieces from Talbots!
Hi Kay, the Talbot’s linen shift dress in Camellia Rose caught my eye but I have a question on the pull-on style. Did you find it easy enough to get the dress on and off?
That was my only concern, not wanting to struggle with that. Also, I’ve been waiting for the right white dress to come along, and I think Talbot’s has just what I’m looking for.
The rattan bags and pullover sweaters are tempting me! So far this year I’ve refreshed my spring/summer closet with new cotton boatneck camis and long sleeve cotton polos. They’re such great basics to have.
I have lost 40# and had to donate so much of my clothes. I am having fun watching your channel and getting fashion ideas for my new shape. I love the Spring dresses Talbots has. So pretty!
I’d seen the blue and white drop waist linen shirt dress online and was deciding that this summer I was going to get a few cool, flowy summer dresses. I really liked it. When I went into the store to make a return last Thursday, I noticed small signs around the store that I hadn’t seen online. They said, “All dresses $80.” I snapped it up. When I exchanged the dress for another size the next day, all the signs were gone. I guess it was just a brief, after-Easter, in-store sale. Usually, I think more about my purchases. But I’m glad I didn’t. Today that dress is sold out in every size.
Wow! Score!
