KATE SPADE STUDS


Kate Spade has the cutest studs right now! I usually stick to sweet and simple (these are my everyday pair) because I can't stand heavy earrings but I might have to give one of these pairs a try, at least for special occasions. I'm torn between #1 and #5 — which pair is your favorite?

Keep up with Design Darling



SHOE SHOPPIN'


Nine favorite pairs from Shopbop, all 20% off with code WEAREFAMILY13 at checkout. (Today's the last day so hop to it!) The d'Orsay flats are the shoe of the season and the Splendid wedges are perfect for year-round wear. How's a girl to choose?!


FRIENDS WITH STYLE {CARVER}


I've loved Carver's style as long as I've known her, which takes us back a solid 15 years to elementary school in Connecticut. She now lives in SoHo (soon to be West Village) and works at Ralph Lauren (just like Emily!). How cute is her very Design Darling color combo? Monogram, stripes, pop of color — check, check, check. She might have the most unique monogram of all time given that her last name starts with Q. And I love that she's not afraid to rock white jeans before Memorial Day... Rules were made to be broken, friends!
