ULTIMATE GUIDE TO SUMMER SANDALS!

I tend to wear my shoes into the ground and New York is especially hard on footwear — I feel like I have to replace my shoe wardrobe at the beginning of every season. In addition to these and these (must-haves for weekends in the city!), here's my ultimate guide to the pairs I'm eyeing this summer. Flats, gladiators, heels, t-straps, wedges... You're sure to find something you love!
one  //  two  //  three  //  four  //  five  //  six
seven  //  eight  //  nine  //  ten //  eleven  //  twelve
thirteen  //  fourteen  //  fifteen  //  sixteen  //  seventeen  // eighteen

I already own these (everyone should have at least one pair!) and I just purchased these (they. are. perfect!) and these (this season's update to the pair I wore here). I think my next two favorites would be these pretty blue ones and this budget-friendly pair. Maybe the more shoes I buy, the less often I'll have to wear each pair, and the longer they'll all last? ;) Yup, that sounds good to me.

INSTAGRAM UPDATES

You know it's a good mail day when there's a Tory Burch box waiting for you. I'm obsessed with my new crossbody bag and espadrilles!

If you're looking for a new blog to obsess over, you must check out Southern Curls & Pearls. Isn't Caitlin stunning in these turquoise tassel earrings?

We're busy shipping out lots of orders in time for Mother's Day! The smell of these candles is out. of. this. world. 

Last week I attempted to cook dinner for Will and I only set the smoke alarm off once (making pasta... how is that possible?). Perfect excuse to bring out my new napkins and favorite serving platter.

For those who asked, this nail polish is a gel color called Tutti Frutti and my new must for spring. Lots more colorful arm candy here!

A sweet customer (who has a super chic design service!) sent me this photo of her monogrammed desk accessories and I just about passed out from the prettiness. Time to tidy my desk for real. Follow me on Instagram here! 


P.P.S. Any favorite Insta accounts I should be following? Do tell!
