Currently Coveting {Urban Outfitters}

Any of my fashion-minded friends will tell you that I have relatively simple style. I'm trying to push myself into sparklier territory but for summer-into-fall transitional dressing I'm still very much craving the basics.

{Tela Oversized Top Silky Romper, $68}

I absolutely love rompers, an equally effortless alternative to the dress. This option will be chic with suede sandals now and glamorous with black tights and ballet flats later.

{BB Dakota Kelsea Open Back Knit Dress, $68}

How many times must I profess my love for open backs? This LBD is office appropriate with a blazer on top and ready to party with a cocktail ring and a pair of high black pumps.

{Sparkle & Fade Racerback Maxi Dress, $48}

Outfits don't come more versatile than a simple black maxi-dress. This one is casual and comfortable but au courant — ideal for a summer picnic and a day of classes.

{Hawks by Geren Ford Silk Ruffle Neck Top, $68}

Pink ruffles feel fun and flirty with white jeans for summer and more glam tucked into a black skirt for a night on the town.

{Silence & Noise Dolman Sleeve Pullover Sweater, $48}

An unfussy shape wards off goosebumps induced by excessive air conditioning or chilly fall mornings.

{Kimchi Blue Scallop Skirt, $58}

Loving this playful silhouette with a white tee in August and a navy blazer in October.

What are your fall fashion must-haves?

Think Pink

I am of the school (there is one, isn't there?) that thinks every room needs a little pop of pink. No color is more eye-catching, more frivolous, more happy — and every space needs that!  

{Nathan Turner}

A beautifully worn pink rug brings unexpected color to a muted palette. 

{Angie Hranowsky}

A magenta throw pillow is a welcome contrast to David Hicks' ubiquitous La Fiorentina fabric. 

{Domino}

Another antique-y pink rug plays off the pastel palette of Rashida Jones' apartment.

{Elle Decor}

A fuchsia chair is an interesting choice paired with purple curtains but I think Cynthia Rowley makes it work. Loving that lucite magazine rack!

{via Little Green Notebook}

Quite possibly my favorite use of pink ever: hot pink velvet tufted beauties flank an old console and complement a figurative art display. 

Where have you used pink to perk up your decor? None of this nonsense about pink-hating husbands!
