LITTLE MOMENTS

As part of my efforts to live in the moment, I've been making an effort to capture some of the lovely little moments in my day on Instagram. This week that's meant a favorite nail color, a family dinner, and lots of pretty products from the boutique...

(1) Leopard and zebra matches and the #ThingsWeLove pencil set packed up for a customer

(2) Essie Fiesta, navy link bangle, and sparkly Toms for my sister's softball game

(3) Coral candelabra and ginger jar matches for Mother's Day dinner 

(4) Kenneth Jay Lane pearls, aqua stripe bangle, Kenneth Jay Lane earrings (purchased on Gilt), and Loren Hope necklace on white lacquer tray

(5) Rory is the cutest distraction, um, ever

(6) New Port Winsor tunic that I seriously cannot wait to wear

(7) Embroidered pillow from the boutique that's pretty perfect for summer

(8) Monogrammed salt and pepper shakers (in my parents' monogram!) that make me smile

Every now and then it's nice to stop what I'm doing and actually appreciate my surroundings. What's one little thing you're loving lately?

DEVON BAER SUMMER 2012

Just when I thought her collection couldn't get any better, the darling Devon outdoes herself with stunning new arrivals for summer. Let's just say my credit card won't be safe for long...

The St. Barts tunic is as chic as can be in hot pink and navy silk with contrast gold piping. 

The color block ruffle dress features an unexpected navy blue collar. Two pieces in my all-time favorite color combo? I think I've died and gone to heaven.

And then there's the tulip skirt (also available in aqua!). I don't think I would ever take it off! P.S. These and these just came to live with me and they are even more fabulous in person! Check out Devon's full collection here and let me know which pieces you're most anxious to add to your wardrobe!

DARLING DETAIL

The little white dress is a summer essential as far as I'm concerned which is what drew me to this one-shouldered Shoshanna dress in the first place. But upon closer inspection it was the gorgeous bead detail that had me hooked...

Isn't this a stunning palette? Bubblegum pink, canary yellow, summery coral... They're not the colors I typically gravitate toward but there's something about this design that has me wanting this dress to come live with me. It might break your budget but I'm certain it would make me happen every time I opened my closet! Style it with this ring and these shoes and you're ready for cocktail parties, graduation ceremonies, and more. Check it out here and tell me you're as smitten as I am!
