HAPPY (4TH OF JULY) WEEKEND!

It's time to pull some stars and stripes out of the closet this weekend...


Well, maybe mostly just stripes, but aren't we lucky that there's no shortage of classic Americana style right now to help us through this holiday weekend?


Hope ya'll have a happy and safe 4th of July! How will you be celebrating? I'm hoping some bbq, sunshine, boat time or a sweet little picnic might be in my near future...

TRENDHUNTING: TRIBALS, STRIPES + LACE

Gena here from bambilulu with three of my favorite trends from the runway: tribal prints, chunky stripes and delicate lace. I also included some more wearable, equally beautiful (and decidedly more affordable!) pieces for us mere mortals to try. You can test the waters with an accessory like this Aztec clutch or striped bangles, or dive in head first in a full on lace dress. Either way, you’re sure to make a statement!

HIP + HOP

Pastels for Easter? So predictable. I think this year the Easter bunny needs to put a little more hip in his hop and add some super rad brights to bronze, grey and even a dash of black...

And if I could get away with this holiday ensemble you bet I would. Do I see some tabletop inspiration coming from this palette?? I think so... stay tuned - this week is gonna be good.

TOTALLY SPRUNG

Dear spring... Would you stop being such a tease and get here already???

I have so many wonderful goodies to adorn myself + home with when you do!

I LOVE...

I'm pretty sure there is no possible way this DVF bag could get any better...

The broad stripes with tan strap and red lining make it irresistible. Pairing it with this vintage Ferragamo cuff, however, might be the best mind-blowing combination ever.

Love.
