To (tie) Die For

Summer perfection - to (tie) die for.

Raquel Allegra fitted tie dye dress, $220.  Also available in sand, here.  

Summer Glow

I recently rediscovered Cost Plus World Market (and found it very easy to do a lot of damage, quickly).  Several of these glass lantern candleholders in purple ended up in my shopping cart.  I'm envisioning them on my deck, or potentially strung from a tree. 

Ribbed glass lantern candleholders available here, $2.99 - $7.99.

Embellishment

Love, love these jeans by Mother Denim.  

Mother "Barefoot Princess" available here, $265.

Camo Clutch

Claire Vivier does it again.

Available here, $128.

Peplum Mash Up

I have the most serious crush on the J Crew copywriters.  I'm a sucker for word wit and they have an abundance of it.  The description of this quite fabulous jacket is spot on: "A chic mash-up of a motorcycle jacket and a feminine peplum design."  I have to admit I'm a bit jealous...I think I'd like to be described as a chic mash-up.

J Crew jacket, $248.

Why Choose

These sandals would help avert a decision crisis.  No more: gold sandals, or tan sandals?  Here's to two-in-one.

Steve Madden Benadet sandal, $69.95.

Flair Up

Shorts with flair (and flare).  

J Crew flared silk-cotton faille short, also in ivory ($75); Navy pinwheel eyelet short ($75).

Bare Essentials

Neutrals, unite.

Dolce Vita cutout sandal ($109); Jean-Michel Cazabat patent open-toe heel ($230).

Fringe Benefits

I love this three ways - fringe, crochet, stripes (with a hint of tribal inspiration).  

Maison Scotch dress, available here ($110).

XOXOXO

The traditional ballet flat gets a die cut and lace-up makeover.  And for those who appreciate details, the cutouts are fashioned as Xs and Os which makes them even more lovable.  The lilac is perfectly spring, but if you're not feeling adventurous black is also an option.  

J Crew Quorra ballet flat ($158).
