Navy Blue + Red

You might have noticed that I use a lot of blues, pinks, and whites in outfit posts or just in general. As a redhead, I am totally skeptical of rocking red, orange, and yellow. But when I spotted this Alice + Olivia belt in the new arrivals at Shopbop, I started to think there just might be a way for me to branch out (in small doses, of course!)...

Topshop dress (only $24!) / Alice + Olivia belt / Loren Hope pearl hoops

House of Harlow 1960 sunglasses / Rebecca Minkoff bag / Madewell wedges

Fun, don't you think? The belt might just be one of my investment pieces for spring/summer — it would work with so many of my navy looks! You could also work in this wallet if you're really into red (or tassels!). Are there colors you're reluctant to wear?

Kate Spade Wicker Bags

Thank you all for your thoughtful comments on this morning's post. You have proven (yet again) that I have the most amazing readers and I am so grateful for your kind words. In an effort to get back to normalcy around here, I had to share these too-cute-for-words Kate Spade wicker bags new at Nordstrom. I mean...

{Delora Clutch}

{Little Nadine Satchel}

{Linden Basket}

I'll take the first for summer parties, the second for shopping in town, and the third for picnics in the park ;) Aren't they something? Shop the entire collection at Nordstrom.

For Fenway

I normally start each week with "Happy Monday!" but I'd be remiss if I did not mention something that's occupying the bulk of my thoughts today. Our puppy Fenway unexpectedly passed away over the weekend and our hearts are full. 

Fenway lived a full and happy life curled up at the foot of my bed or perched in my lap as I typed many a blog post. In fact we'd come to think of him as Design Darling's very cute (though largely unhelpful) resident intern.

We've spent the past few days remembering all the times he made us laugh and the many everyday moments we took for granted. My dad, the biggest Red Sox fan I know, was quick to point out that Fenway led the team to two World Series championships in his seven years, a feat that many others had waited 86 years for.

Here's hoping heaven is full of cuddles, doggy friends, and people food. Fenny, we love you and miss you more than you know.
