OUTFIT {JOLIE & ELIZABETH}

Ray-Ban sunglasses // Jolie & Elizabeth dress c/o Hattie Sparks // J.Crew pearls

K. Slademade clutch // Julie Vos ring // J.Crew gladiator wedges

One of the most rewarding aspects of writing this blog is discovering and partnering with awesome new-to-me designers. My friend Hattie introduced me to the line Jolie & Elizabeth and it was pretty much love at first sight. As a small business owner myself, I love supporting fellow female entrepreneurs and was impressed to learn that all Jolie & Elizabeth dresses are made in the U.S.A. I was certain I couldn't pull off this mint color but Hattie convinced me to give it a go and I'm so glad she did! This dress was made for twirling through Central Park on the most perfect sunny day and I know it will see many evenings on Nantucket this summer. 

P.S. Hattie is graciously offering all Design Darling readers 25% off all Jolie & Elizabeth pieces in her online store through Friday! Use code DESIGNDARLING at checkout and be sure to let me know what you find! I'm totally eyeing this number myself. xx

SHOWSTOPPER

Try telling me this is not the coolest cuff you've ever laid eyes on. Rose Pierre's sparkling sea cuff (I mean, that name alone!) features jagged quartz stones on a polished gold cuff. It almost looks like coral, doesn't it? And it's the kind of piece that could stand on its own sans stacking. Listen to me trying to justify my next spring purchase...!

SHOW YOUR STRIPES

Louboutin espadrilles // Theory dress // Michael Kors tote

Design Darling salad servers // Heidi Merrick dress // Soludos espadrilles

If you could pick one of these striped lovelies to come live with you, which would you choose? For me it'd be a toss-up between the striped tote (hello, weekends in Nantucket!) and the Heidi Merrick dress (which I've been coveting for-ev-er). Then again I already own the salad servers which are pretty stinking cute ;) I wonder if I'll ever tire of all striped everything? Nahhh.

WEEKEND FUN

How cheery are these Olivia Rae James photos of a few blogger pals wearing Troubadour Clothing? Such a treat to see my girls Chassity and Hanna pop up over on the Glitter Guide this week. This shoot is everything I'd like my weekend to consist of: bright sunshine, a cocktail or two, and girl time galore. Oh and it's all about that pink dress, no? To die for! Have a good one, gal pals :)

FRIENDS WITH STYLE {JOANNA}

3.1 Phillip Lim coat // Forever 21 dress // J.Crew belt

Forever 21 bag // Madewell signet ring (similar) // Louboutin wedges

Meet my friend Joanna! Joanna and I went to high school together in Connecticut and managed to keep in touch throughout college while she was at NYU. We now live three blocks apart on the Upper East Side and took these pictures yesterday before work on her rooftop. Joanna works in the comedy department at a talent agency and is one of the funniest and most stylish people I know. I'm kind of obsessed with this look, not to mention the fact that not everyone could combine Forever 21 and Christian Louboutin so seamlessly. P.S. Two words: hair envy.

J.CREW'S LOOKS WE LOVE

Yet another J.Crew love letter ;) I usually order online but my mom and I swung by their J.Crew Collection store on the Upper East Side a couple weeks ago and I'm so glad we did! I absolutely fell in love with this scalloped dress but sadly it was too big/long even in the smallest size (gotta love vanity sizing!). Thankfully one of the sales associates (and one of the chicest older women I've ever seen) was an expert tailor and suggested adding a seam just above the hem since I won't be wearing it in an office and prefer shorter hemlines on my 5'1" frame. I instagrammed the end result, a perfectly 60s-esque shift that I'll be living in all spring and summer. It's now sold out online but I highly recommend calling and trying to track one down... I'm obsessed!

P.S. Obviously snatched up the striped shorts as well. Both are killer with these navy pumps!

OUTFIT {HEY, RORY!}

Ray-Ban sunglasses // Joie top // Julie Vos necklace

James Jeans // Elizabeth & James booties

I'm not going to tell you how many outtakes we have but my goodness, I love this little guy. Speaking of love, I should mention that this top is the best thing to happen to my wardrobe in some time. It's the perfect color (pairs well with either navy or turquoise) and is as comfy/drapey/soft as anything else I own. I'm already coveting it in other colors — thankfully there are plenty to choose from!

FRIENDS WITH STYLE {EMILY}

Ralph Lauren sweater // Forever 21 striped shirt (similar) // J.Crew jeans

American Apparel clutch // J.Crew desert boots

Say hello to my cousin Emily! We were born 14 days apart and now live 13 blocks apart in New York. She's a merchandiser at Ralph Lauren and I'd be lying if I said I didn't steal her trench coat for Monday's outfit post. While we were taking pictures, Emily posed with an older woman in workout clothes and winked at various passersby. Three cheers for family/friends with great style and an even better sense of humor!
