SUMMER TREND: TASSELS

One of my favorite summer trends is tassels on accessories, clothing, and decor. I'm obsessed! Tassels aren't so much "trendy" as they is a resurgence of a classic motif... which means you can invest in a few pieces knowing they won't be out of style next season. Here are a few of my favorite tassels at the moment:

one  //  two  //  three  //  four  //  five  //  six  //  seven  //  eight
nine  //  ten  //  eleven  //  twelve  //  thirteen  //  fourteen  //  fifteen

I truly can't get enough: I'm loving tassel earrings, this neutral tassel chandelier (budget-friendly version here), these tassel curtains (I have the shower version), a pair of classic tassel loafers, this Tory Burch tassel handbag... The list goes on. Have you purchased any tassels yet? What other summer trends are you loving?

Do you ever feel like the best part of travel is coming home? This will be my first weekend in New York since early May and I'm pretty happy about it. I have a little picnic planned for tonight (I'll try to Instagram!) and brunch with blogger friends on Sunday but other than that the weekend is a blank canvas. Sometimes those are the best kinds, don't you think? I hope you all have a good one! xx
