OLIVIA PALERMO IN TATLER RUSSIA

I hope you all won't kill me for jumping the gun and posting about fall fashion but these looks on Design Darling fashion favorite Olivia Palermo were too perfect not to share...

I can definitely get behind this punchy palette for fall. Who else loves Olivia's style as much as I do?! Here are a few pieces to help recreate the looks (if you're in Google Reader you'll have to click over to see the slideshow!)...

RAINY DAY ESSENTIALS

I'm not a fan of spring showers but there's something about a summer storm that always a little fun and unexpected — if you're wearing the right outfit. Last week I found myself hopping over puddles in leather wedges (I don't particularly recommend it) so today I thought I'd whip up a little inspiration for staying dry in style.

(1) Kate Spade "Under The Sun" bangle (2) ModCloth umbrella (3) Design Darling cocktail ring

(4) Cambridge Satchel neon bag (5) Topshop jersey scarf (6) Hunter rainboots

(7) Overstock porcelain umbrella stand (8) J.Crew colorblock socks (9) Barneys dog rain slicker

I just ordered that exact umbrella stand off of Joss & Main (it's even prettier in person!) and would pair any of the above with this darling trench. How precious is the rain coat for your four-legged friend? ;)

IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS

New flats from Tuckernuck // Monogrammed ice buckets headed off to their new homes // Making an effort to cook (I've tried this, this, and this) // Rory sitting on my feet during a summer storm // Striped espadrilles from J.Crew (on mega sale) // Le Pens in my monogrammed pencil cup // A preppy pillow pairing (here and here) // Neon pink shorts from J.Crew // Ginger jar matches in a tortoiseshell bowl // New arrivals in the boutique // Still in love with this little face

MIX AND MATCH

It's not all that often I stumble upon a color combination that's truly unexpected and suited for real life but of course, leave it to J.Crew...

Top knot // Men's shirt // Schoolboy blazer // Colorblock pants // Leopard heels

Blue and green and leopard? Call me crazy but I'm kind of digging it!

SUBWAY TILE KITCHENS

I just don't think I'll ever tire of certain design elements. French doors. Herringbone floors. White moulding. And then of course there's subway tile...

Our local Starbucks recently got a little facelift and now there's an entire wall of subway tile right when you walk through the door. I can't get enough! Definitely a must for the dream home file ;)

DAY AT THE DOCK

A little nautical look that has me looking forward to the weekend already...

Topshop tie-up shirt (only $45!) // Selima for J.Crew sunglasses // Kenneth Jay Lane pearl necklace

J.Crew striped shorts // Sperry Top-Sider boat shoes // Kiel James Patrick bag (the perfect summer tote!)

Tory Burch wallet (a year-round staple)

I'm headed back to Nantucket for a couple days next week and couldn't be more excited. Now who wants to sit on the water and sip Arnold Palmers with me?!

DO YOU PAINT YOUR OWN NAILS?

I have a funny question for you today but it's one I'm actually quite curious about. But first, a confession: I cannot paint my own nails for the life of me! Painting with my left hand is not pretty. Plus my very favorite indulgence (as I admitted here!) is to go to the nail salon and get a mani/pedi. And I always, always stick to pinks and reds...

You'll find all these Essie colors right here but my current favorites are Fiesta, Geranium, and Mademoiselle. Tell me: (1) what's your favorite nail polish color and (2) do you paint your own nails?!

DESIGN DARLING IN LUXE MAGAZINE

I was so excited to be featured as the design insider for Luxe Magazine's summer issue! They were kind enough to feature the monogrammed acrylic tray from my boutique as well as a few of my local favorites. It was my first bit of print press and a fun surprise to see myself in illustrated form — now if only my bicycle were this pretty in real life! ;)
