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!

60s STYLING

I've shared the work of Australian photographer Corrie Bond before but I like to check in on her portfolio every now and then to check out what's new. This editorial shot for Sydney Magazine certainly provided some eye candy...
Major bling and winged liner... Inspiration for your next evening out! And I'm smitten with the Swiss dot detail. Get the look with this blouse or this dress.
How about a dramatic side part and a killer statement necklace? This one reminds me of something Elva Fields might make. 
I adore this cutout lace top. It reminds me of this eyelet peplum top I currently have my eye on!
Don't these printed pants belong in Jules Reid's collection? Palm Beach chic at its finest. 
The pièce de résistance and a must-have in your wardrobe for summer? The maxi dress. This one is perfect for an event and I love this one in aqua or pink for everyday wear. (P.S. This shot reminds me of the topiaries in my boutique!) Where are you finding style inspiration these days?
