OUTFIT {DEVON BAER PEPLUM SKIRT}

And just so you know what Eddy has to put up with while we're taking pictures...

I've got moves.

Cat eye sunglasses c/o C. Wonder  //  J.Crew t-shirt  //  J.Crew pearls

Skirt c/o Devon Baer  //  Design Darling tortoiseshell bangles  //  J.Crew knot ring

Tory Burch satchel (now on sale!)  //  K. Slademade tassel  //  J.Crew heels

I can't decide if this look is a little too 50s housewife with the cat eye sunnies and the pearls but I suppose playing dress-up never hurt anybody. The shades were a gift from C. Wonder during our Hamptons excursion last week (tons of pictures on Instagram!) and I'm kind of digging the departure from my go-to Ray-Bans. Oh and the skirt! You know when a piece of clothing hits you at just the right spot and makes you feel ten pounds less than you are? My girl Devon totally nailed it with this one — so much so that I now own this baby in lavender and navy. What's that saying? Oh right, if the shoe fits...

SPRING PARTY ESSENTIALS

(1) Anthropologie neon border napkins  (2) Design Darling rope napkin rings

(3) Anthropologie badminton salt & pepper shakers  (4) Design Darling striped salad servers

(5) Sugar Paper place cards  (6) C. Wonder striped straws  (7) Jonathan Adler acrylic glasses

I need to stop using a tiny apartment as an excuse not to entertain! I've lived in New York for four and a half months and I've yet to host any sort of housewarming. Now that I finally have all my furniture in place, I think it's time to bribe some friends up to the Upper East Side for cocktails and girl talk, don't you think?

MACKENZIE BEDDING AT BISCUIT HOME

I don't know if I've ever been more flattered than the day my friend Bailey asked if she could design a bedding collection and name it after me. Ummm are you kidding? She designed the most precious bow print and indulged my request for it to come in hot pink and navy blue. 

{Extra small tray}

{Duvet cover}

{Medium tray}

I also think the crib sheet would be adorable for a baby girl's room. Shop the Mackenzie print and check out all the new prints here — I'm crazy about the Amber shams and Katie sheets.

A few more links for your weekend perusal:

- This new cooking blog features easy recipes, gorgeous photos, and a playlist with every post so you can cook to music. Brilliant!

- Legit obsessed with this swimsuit and of course now that it's on sale my size is sold out online. Why does that always happen?!

- Dying to check out this exhibit at MoMA. Who's coming with?
