WEEKEND WARDROBE

For someone who loves clothes as much as I do, I really stick to the same basics day in and day out: an oxford or a striped tee, skinny jeans, and ballet flats or Jack Rogers. But lately it's been so hot that the thought of shimmying into my beloved denim is simply out of the question. I think it's time to invest in a couple casual dresses to help me weather this weather in style!

Kenneth Jay Lane pearl studs // Kate Spade bow earrings // Juliet & Co. knot studs

Dorothy Perkins striped dress // Dorothy Perkins polka dot dress // Dorothy Perkins striped t-shirt dress

Topshop silver pointed toe ballet flats // ASOS suede strap ballet flats // Topshop glitter ballet flats

Oh and everything is under $100! Happy weekend :)

INTRODUCING SAIL TO SABLE

I was so excited to receive an email from Jennifer about her new site Sail to Sable. After discovering that we grew up in the same town and graduated from the same high school, I learned that Jennifer works for GQ and named her new line for the Easternmost (Sail Rock, Maine) and Southernmost (Cape Sable, Florida) towns on the Eastern Seaboard. Inspired by stripes, salty water, and all things summer, the line is every bit as preppy chic as Jennifer herself! Needless to say I'm elated to welcome her as a sponsor here on Design Darling. Here are a few of my top picks from the collection...

Navy stripe tunic // Pink stripe tunic // Navy linen tunic

Navy linen pillow // Pink stripe pillow


The line also features adorable napkins and placemats perfect for the preppy home. What's your favorite item from Sail to Sable?

HIS AND HERS

ON HIM: Ray-Ban sunglasses // Land's End shirt // Locally made belt // Castaway Clothing pants ON HER: Ray-Ban sunglasses // Port Winsor tunic // Design Darling bangle // J.Crew signet ring (similar) // Skinnyjeans white straight leg jeans // Jack Rogers monogrammed sandals

I probably love this post more than usual because we're both wearing variations of my favorite color combo! I pretty much lived in this tunic on Nantucket last week — to the beach, out to dinner, and everything in between. Can I just say it's the most flattering tunic I've ever owned? I'm a little obsessed. What's one of your wardrobe obsessions lately?
