Everyday Accessories

When I shop — whether it's for clothes, decor, or something for my boutique — I'm constantly on the lookout for investment pieces. I love items I know can be used or worn in multiple ways across multiple seasons. (That probably explains my obsession with all things navy blue.) When I saw this image, I started thinking about a few wardrobe essentials that could be worn all day, every day...

Loren Hope necklace / Luxury Rebel sandals / Jacquie Aiche initial ring / Tory Burch wallet

Tory Burch satchel / Kenneth Jay Lane pearls / Tory Burch leopard flats

Gold jewelry, tan leather, and a splash of leopard... Classic essentials you can style over and over again! What are your everyday accessories?

Devon Baer Designs in Matchbook

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of hopping on a train to New York and meeting up with Jane, Rima, and Sarah for a Matchbook photo shoot. I interviewed Devon Haire of Devon Baer Designs, which was doubly fun since she is one of my sponsors here on Design Darling! It was a treat to finally meet in person and inspiring to chat with her about making her design dreams a reality. Not to mention the fact that she has the cutest apartment ever...

Devon modeling her Color Block Ruffle Dress. Can you believe she stenciled and painted the foyer herself?

The gallery wall above her sofa makes me want to spend hours on Etsy looking for fun plates and prints.

Doesn't this make you want to start collecting ginger jars? Oh and waltz around in the Caitlyn Dress?

The Ibiza Silk Pant slung over the door.

Devon also makes her own jewelry which you can shop here. I'm eyeing these coral studs and these hot pink gems!

Have you ever seen a prettier bar setup? The scarf print can be found here and all the vintage barware was found on Etsy.

Isn't she adorable? In love with her lucite tray and the Coral Ball Skirt.

Saturday Eye Candy

Every weekend should start with something pretty, whether it's a walk in the park or twenty minutes on Pinterest. This outdoor space is definitely making my morning...

My favorite palette, plenty of greenery, and fabulously unexpected numbered pillows? Yes please. Have a good one!

How To Style A Coffee Table

I was thrilled to see a few Design Darling products showcased in a recent feature on The Everygirl on how to style your coffee table. Here are a few of my favorite shots:

{Do you spy my gold lacquer tray and leopard matches on the right?}

{I spy my bee matches and turquoise lacquer tray!}

I love that they worked Design Darling products into two totally different spaces. The first is my favorite but I'm curious to hear which one you love so go check it out!

Spring Stripes

I know many of you loved this dress as much as I do so I have a feeling you're going to like these pants by the same designer...

J.Crew blouse / Loren Hope necklace / Bop Basics clutch

Diane von Furstenberg wedges / Rachel Pally pants (on sale!)

I'm loving the easy breezy vibe of striped pants for spring... but I really can't get my mind off the dress! Which would you choose?

Peplum Perfection

Flouncy peplum, scoop back, soft knit in three gorgeous colors. How's a girl to choose?

The top costs just $78, has rave reviews on Anthropologie, and could be worn virtually anywhere — under a blazer to the office or with jeans on the weekend. Which color would you wear most? Stock up HERE.

P.S. I just bought this top in navy and immediately decided I need it in cream as well! I think this means I have a peplum problem ;)

Spring Brights

I was so flattered when Emily of Simply Southern tweeted that she loved this week's His & Hers post and that pink is definitely my color. Pink? Me? But I've lived my entire life in navy blue! Her comment definitely has me thinking about experimenting more with this happy hue. And what better time than with Easter (or spring in general) on the horizon?

J.Crew lace top / Loren Hope earrings / K. Slademade colorblock clutch

J.Crew pants / Steve Madden sandals (on sale!)

Pastels don't do much for my pale complexion so I'm all about pairing bright pink with turquoise. How fabulous are the earrings? More brights I'm loving here, here, and here. What will you be wearing this Easter weekend?
