FOFLOR RUG GIVEAWAY + EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNT

I've mentioned before that I think rugs are one of the hardest parts of a room to source affordably (see some of my suggestions here). I'm excited to share a fun new site called FoFlor with lots of bright, preppy options that would work in a number of spaces. Dorm room, kitchen, powder room... There's something for everyone! Here are a few of my favorite patterns:

Cute, right? The patterns are an exclusive collaboration with SCOUT by Bungalow which explains why they're so fun and happy. The best part? FoFlor is giving one lucky Design Darling reader the runner of his or her choice! To enter, follow the instructions in the Rafflecopter widget below (you'll have to click over to the blog to enter). 

Oh! And if you find something that strikes your fancy, they're also generously offering 20% off all orders placed before June 23 with code DESIGN4FLOOR at checkout! Get shopping here. Good luck!

OUTFIT {NAVY AND WHITE AND TIED WITH A BOW}

J.Crew top (on sale!)  //  Design Darling necklace  //  Club Monaco shorts

Tory Burch satchel  //  Tassel c/o Cinco Powell  //  Ann Taylor bow sandals

Can I just say that I think Club Monaco is absolutely killing it right now? Carver, Emily, and I were lamenting the loss of Rugby the other night but all agreed that Club Monaco has really stepped up its game. These shorts. This sweater. Next on my list? This dress, this skirt, or maybe even this vest. Oh, and this jacket has a total Olivia Pope thing happening. Like I said, killing it. 

A word on the shoes: yes, technically they're in the wedding section but I think they're the perfect statement shoe for birthday parties or even just dinner with friends. And if you do happen to get married in them, all the better! :)

TORY BURCH CLARA SATCHEL

{Tory Burch Clara satchel}

With all the navy I wear, it seems sort of silly that I don't own a navy handbag. If I were budgeting for a new bag at the moment, this would be my top choice. And if you don't care for navy, you must hate my blog it's available in a fabulous shade of army green that would look killer with a pop of hot pink.

Are you saving up for any exciting purchases? Do tell, do tell! xx

NEW AT ANTHROPOLOGIE

{Eva dress}

{Calypso tunic}

{Luna trapeze dress}

{Astral peplum top}

{Simone dress}

I'm admittedly not the biggest Anthropologie shopper but I do stop in every now and then to see what's new. I was pleasantly surprised with these new dresses — the navy and white polka dot is such a retro take on classic prep, don't you think? Pair it with these cat eye sunnies, this picnic basket, and this blanket and you've got your Central Park weekend picnic look down pat!

AROUND THE APARTMENT

Ringing in the weekend with my favorite gin and tortoiseshell glasses.

Seriously obsessed with my new navy leopard print dress from Persifor. Outfit post to follow!

Restocked these pearl starfish earrings and this striped laptop cover.

Did you know you can get almost anything at J.Crew monogrammed for just $10? I think it's the sweetest detail above the pocket of these shorts.

Having a turquoise moment thanks to this Derng necklace and Lulu & Georgia pillow.

QUOTE DU JOUR

As I mentioned in this post, my next 101 in 1001 list is going to feature a few travel goals. It was so fascinating to read your comments on this post about where you've traveled and it definitely got me thinking about which cities and countries I'd like to visit next. I'm dying to visit a new continent — South America perhaps?

Have you visited a new place this year? Have a trip in the works? What's next on your list of must-sees? Let's compare notes!
