Redesign Is Live!

Pardon my stating the obvious but for those reading via Bloglovin', email, or RSS, please come check out Design Darling's new look! Courtesy of the incredibly sweet and tremendously talented Hanna Nation of Gadabout, the new site is much more my style: a classic shift, a costume necklace, and of course a little bit of fun with the shoes. Stay tuned for information to be added in the header menu and, in the mean time, please be sure to like Design Darling on Facebook and follow Design Darling on Twitter

Now tell me, what do you think of Design Darling's new look?! 

The Look For Less {Shoe Closet}


I can't help you with the shoe collection (lie: I totally can, but we'll save that for a later date) but I'm thinking Ikea's Expedit unit ($129) unit is a dead ringer for the built-in shoe closet of Teen Vogue Fashion News Director Jane Keltner de Valle. See more of her wardrobe, featuring the likes of Jason Wu and Peter Som, at my new favorite fashion blog, The Coveted.

Design Darling {Kinda Sorta} On Elle Decor





Contributing to Rue has been one of the most exciting opportunities I have had in the past year. I'm sure you can imagine my delight when Crystal emailed me to let me know that one of my posts for the Rue blog was mentioned on elledecor.com! Big thanks to Amy of Shelterpop for the shout-out that completely made my day/week/life. The online mention is definitely tiding me over until the real deal ;) Happy weekend everyone!
