I BOUGHT A BAG...


You may recall that one of the tasks on my 101 in 1001 list was to invest in a "grown-up" handbag and if you follow me on Twitter you know that I think I've found the one! I bought this bag during Tory Burch's friends and family sale over the weekend and I can hardly wait for it to show up on my doorstep. Hopefully it's absolutely perfect and you'll be seeing it in many outfit posts to come ;) What's your everyday bag? Is it a purchase you saved up for? Do any of you carry the bag I just ordered? Fill me in!

BLANK CANVAS

I'm dying to know: if you could completely start over in your home (budget be damned) how would you decorate? A painted ceiling? A pink sofa? A striped powder room? Let's hear it!

OUTFIT {OFF TO THE MOVIES}


This weekend was too cold for sandals and just a little too warm for boots, which means my obsession with ballet flats was in full swing. I wore this outfit to see Butter with my mom and sister (loved the company, didn't love the movie). Sole Society sent me these adorable glittery flats and they're great quality for what they cost — just $49.95! They release a new pair of shoes every day and right now they're offering all Design Darling readers in the U.S. $20 off your first purchase with code DARLING20 through October 31. Check it out and let me know what you find!
