KATE SPADE NEW ARRIVALS

Have you checked out the newest arrivals at Kate Spade? They're inspired by a love of all things cinema and really couldn't be cuter if they tried. Isn't the styling absolutely darling? I'm crazy about these bow wedges, this bright frock, and these killer pumps. Adding to the wishlist as we speak!

AFFORDABLE LEATHER SHORTS & SKIRT

Leather skirt  //  leather shorts

Am I the only one who loves this look? I fell in love with this skirt but they sold out of my size before I could pull the trigger. Fast forward to yesterday when I found these vegan leather options for a fraction of the price! They would be so cute with a classic silk camisole or crisp white blouse and a neutral pump. Would you wear a leather skirt or shorts? Let's hear it!

OUTFIT {HOT PINK MAXI DRESS}

Amanda Uprichard dress c/o Social Dress Shop  //  Seagrass bag c/o Soft Surroundings

Design Darling disco ball bangle and tortoiseshell bangles  //  Essie Bikini So Teeny  //  Ash wedges (similar)

Go bright or go home! This hot pink maxi dress makes me smile every time I open my closet door. It's such an easy piece to throw on with wedges when the temperature hits 90º+ in the city. Speaking of new favorites, I can't get enough of this summery light blue nail color and white roses mixed with blue hydrangeas (seen here). What are some of your current color obsessions?

P..S. Social Dress Shop is offering 20% off all dresses with code DARLING20 at checkout! I love this gingham halter, this mod shift, and this striped number.

GIRL CRUSH

I'm absolutely enamored with Nicole Warne's blog Gary Pepper Vintage. The clothes, the backdrops, the photography... Everything is divine. Get her look with the perfect navy blazer, killer heels, and a passport full of exotic stamps. Do take a peek at her archives if you're not already familiar!

COACH TERRI HEEL

I'm obsessed with the woven pattern of Coach's Terri heel in all three colorways: natural/silver, ginger/gold, and navy/white. The squared heel means they're comfier than your average summer sandal and the ankle strap makes them just dressy enough to wear desk-to-date night. Which color would you get the most use out of?

WEEKEND WARDROBE

J.Crew hat  //  Joie dress  //  Design Darling necklace  //  K. Jacques sandals

It's shaping up to be another hot, hot, hot weekend in New York! This kind of humidity calls for an easy breezy dress and unfussy accessories like these leather sandals which I'm quite convinced I need. Oh and don't forget the sunscreen — I go through a bottle of this almost every month!

TUCKERNUCK STYLED

I just can't get enough of what Tuckernuck is doing these days. Carly and I got to hang with their community manager Emily in Dallas back in April and had the best time chatting about our favorite blogs and brands. I think their styling is as cute as can be! Tuckernuck also has the cutest blog where they photograph friends of the brand styling some of their favorite pieces (recognize Devon and Kat above?). Some of the items I'm obsessed with right now? This anchor sweater, a dreamy leather tote, and the perfect striped shirt. Want it, need it, have to have it.

8 ACCESSORIES I LOVE RIGHT NOW

3.1 Phillip Lim leather pouch  //  Kenneth Jay Lane pearl studs

Ginette diamond star ring  //  Tory Burch ballet flats

Madewell leather boots  //  Marc by Marc Jacobs leather turnlock bracelet

Clare Vivier haircalf clutch  //  Pour La Victoire ankle strap pumps

It's really no accident that three of my favorite accessories right now are shoes. Is there anything more fun than wearing a new pair of pumps? I mean, blisters aside, a new pair of shoes is my very favorite wardrobe update and I don't know how much longer I can live without these in my life. And there's something so very luxe about this classic leather pouch, don't you think? Navy is my favorite color... 

P.S. We're having a today only flash sale! Use code FLASH at checkout to save 20% on these select items.

TORY BURCH IN THESE SHOES

Tory Burch has a new Pinterest board dedicated to shoes and I'm pretty sure I've died and gone to heaven. The Chelsea flats in navy, the Ivy pumps in navy suede and nude leather, the Reva flats in chestnut suede... Oh and the suede chain clutch is a looker too. Would it be so wrong for me to spend my entire fall shopping budget on shoes? ;)

C. WONDER THROW PILLOWS

ONE  //  TWO  //  THREE

Throw pillows are the easiest and most cost-effective seasonal updates for your space. These C. Wonder pillows would be perfect for an outdoor space (and if you have one, I'm jealous!) but equally appropriate for your indoor sofa. The last one reminds me of my all-time favorite Jonathan Adler wallpaper which I've promised myself I'll use in a powder room one day!
