DESIGN DARLING {THE BOUTIQUE}

If you've been reading for a couple months now, you know that I quit my first job and decided to start my own business. I've been playing coy about details so I could really nail down the concept and start putting plans in motion behind the scenes. But now I'm pulling back the curtains on my new full-time gig...
...A brand new e-commerce site featuring a tightly edited assortment of accessories and decor! The past couple months have been a blur of preparations: registering Design Darling LLC, opening wholesale accounts, talking to mentors and new friends, and working on the new site. I can't wait to share the fruits of my labor with all of you!

I have lots of favorite little brick-and-mortar boutiques where I like to peruse and pick up gifts, whether apartment accessories or jewelry or paper goods. But I had yet to find the place where all those things converge online: a one-stop shop for all the lovely little details that make a house a home and an outfit a show-stopper. Imagining that many of you might feel the same, I decided to take a leap of faith and create it myself.

When Design Darling {the boutique} goes live in early March, you'll find fabulous art, baubles, clutches, pillows, trays, and more! Whether you're decking out your new apartment with your roommates or your first home with your husband, I hope it will become your go-to shopping destination for accessorizing, decorating, and gift giving.

Currently Coveting

One of my favorite things about Currently Obsessed (besides the fact that it's like Pinterest in shopping list form — hellooo, addicting!) is noticing trends in the items I add to my list. For instance, I recently fell in love with these deeply saturated hues on dresses, scarves, and even a hat! 


Emilio Pucci scarf (on sale!)
Alloy skirt (bargain buy!)

And since I'm pretty sure this Reiss hat is the first I've ever posted...do you ever wear hats? Now that I'm letting my hair do its naturally curly thing, I've found myself craving an easy hat to throw on for bad hair days or inclement weather. Total effortless chic, don't you think? I also have my eye on this one...
