GET THE LOOK {RITA KONIG'S APARTMENT}

Hugo Guinness framed print // Biscuit Home coral border sham // Lamps Plus pink lamp

Design Darling monogrammed tray // Pottery Barn bedside table // Serena & Lily seagrass basket

I was so inspired by Todd Selby's photographs of Rita Konig's Manhattan apartment that I decided to put together a little inspiration board with a few pieces to help recreate the look and feel of her space. What do you think? Be sure to check out the full tour here.

SNAPSHOTS FROM DALLAS

I got back from Dallas yesterday and I miss it already! The friendly people, warm weather, not to mention all my favorite blogger friends... This was such an amazing weekend.

Carly and I flew out early, early, early Friday morning and had to laugh at our matching J. McLaughlin monogrammed duffel bags. 

Our blogging conference was held at Hotel Zaza. I could get used to hanging out at their pool every day...

Lots of fashion blogger friends means lots of amazing shoes. I had to snap this picture of me (in these J.Crew Etta pumps), Carly, Julia, Kat, Liz, Chassity, and Alex chitchatting outside. 

Carly and I grabbed drinks (and guacamole, of course) with our friend Emily from Tuckernuck. I was majorly coveting her Manuel Canovas toile skirt!

Carly and I in my favorite color combination ;) I wore a dress by The Letter that I snagged on Gilt and these J.Crew gladiator wedges (last seen here).

Have you ever been to Dallas? What city is next on your must-see list? Do tell!

J.CREW CATALOG COVERS

I know many of you are fans of Matchbook Magazine but have you popped over to check out their daily posts? Their blog is brimming with great content like this week's throwback on J.Crew catalog covers. I get tons of styling inspiration from J.Crew's catalog and website so I loved looking back at some cover looks from years past. These are a few of my favorites but be sure to check out the full slideshow here!

HEADED TO DALLAS!

I'm headed to Texas for the weekend and I couldn't be more excited. It's my first trip to Dallas and I'm eager to explore the city that so many of my customers and readers call home! I'll be seeing lots of my blogging besties, meeting with a few awesome brands, and soaking up everything I can in just two short days. I'm sure I'll have lots to share come Monday! Have a good one :)

KATE SPADE STUDS

(1) Putting on the Ritz (2) Fragment Pearls

(3) Seaport Pearls (4) Estate Garden

(5) Crystal Chapel Clusters (6) Skinny Mini Bows

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?

FRIENDS WITH STYLE {CARVER}

Kate Spade earrings // Ralph Lauren sweater // West Avenue monogram necklace

Paige Denim jeans // Cartier watch // J.Crew ballet flats

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!

COLLECTING COFFEE TABLE BOOKS

Ask and you shall receive! A bunch of you asked about my favorite design and fashion books after I took this picture of my bookshelves on Instagram (and the second here) and I'm more than happy to share. I posted about a few favorites back in this post but my collection has grown leaps and bounds since then and I'm constantly finding new titles that need to find their way to my doorstep. (Take note, gift givers! There are few things I love to receive more than a good book. Unless it's something monogrammed... But you already knew that.) Without further ado, a few current favorites and a few I'm eager to  add to my shelves:

The New York Times 36 Hours // Impact // The Trench Book

Vintage Cocktails // Condé Nast Traveler Photographs // Things We Love

Fashion and Art Collusion // I Love Your Style // Grace

Gypset Travel // The Elements of Style // The Big Book of Chic

Do you collect coffee table books? I'm dying to hear your favorites!

6 BAGS FOR BEACH SEASON

First and foremost, my heart goes out to the victims and volunteers at yesterday's Boston Marathon. I am grateful my friends and family in the area are safe and sound and my prayers go out to all involved.

- - - 

L.L.Bean boat and tote bag // J.Crew farmer's market tote

Clava market tote // Mar Y Sol raffia tote

Deux Lux metallic straw tote // Juicy Couture straw and sequin tote

I'm already mapping out as many summer weekends on Nantucket as my schedule will allow which naturally has me thinking about additions to my warm weather wardrobe. A new beach bag is at the top of my list! Which of these options would you tote to the beach this summer?
