|| Gigi New York Hayden Satchel ||

I mentioned Saturday but Gigi New York just marked down their Summer items even more and they are also running a Sample Sale with some never before seen colors.  Gigi NY was sweet enough to send me this Hayden Satchel and I just love it.  It is more structured than most of my purses and I like that.  The color is stunning in person.  This would be a great bag for work as well.  You can detach the straps and carry it by the handle but I love it as a crossbody.

I also love this clutch in the Pewter color, a great neutral!!  Shop the whole Gigi sale here.

I am wearing the Rag and Bone Boyfriend Shorts and Current Elliot Tee above.

|| Joie Socca Sandals ||

Joie Sandals are quickly becoming my favorites.  I love the two color detail on this pair.  A great neutral sandal that would go with everything.

 

 || West Elm Color Block Picnic Blanket ||

Love these awesome blankets from West Elm and best part they are on sale for only $34!


|| JBrand Mid Rise Ankle Skinnies ||

Loving the dark wash and distressed look of these skinny jeans.  On my wishlist for Fall.

|| d.ra Sayuria Dress ||

I have wanted this dress forever and it sold out.  It is back in stock and on sale in the blue and pink colors!

|| d.ra Midori Dress ||

Same brand different dress, loving this line so much!  I love the neon colors on the white.

|| Tory Burch Eloise Sandal ||

These sandals are part of the Nordstrom sale and such a great deal!

|| Tularosa Simone Embroidered Shorts ||

I am smitten with these white shorts.  I love the scallop detail and they look so comfy.

|| Tory Burch Polarized Aviators ||

I actually own these sunglasses and love them.  Once you try polarized glasses it is hard to go back to normal ones. I find these are really flattering on. Part of the Nordstrom sale!

|| Rag and Bone Nicole Tank in Camo ||

I can’t even describe how happy I was to come across this tank.  It is the same style as my favorite Nicole Tank but in a new camo print.  Pretty sure I need this!  I have lived in my other two Nicole tanks.

 

|| Mara Hoffman Easy Dress ||

I adore all Mara Hoffman prints.  This is such a great Summer dress on major sale!

{UGG SCUFFETTE SLIPPERS}

These are the best slippers ever.  They are all I wear around the house.  It feels like my feet are embedded in fluffy pillows.  You need a pair if you don’t own a pair.  Trust me on this one they are the ultimate slippers.


{ELLA MOSS SANTA FE MAXI DRESS}

Adore this dress.  Both colors are fabulous.  A must have for Summer- or now paired with a cute leather jacket/cardigan.

{RORY BECCA EBB HENLEY DRESS}

Perfect everyday dress. Currently on its way to my house can’t wait to get my hands on this beauty!

{GRACE CODDINGTON A MEMOIR}

I finally picked up this book and it is great!  If you don’t know Grace worked with Anna Wintour at Vogue.  This book is filled with some great behind the scenes fashion stories!  Plus I love the orange cover, I love looking at it on my nightstand!

{GWYNETH PALTROW’S KITCHEN}

Her cabinets are the perfect gray- Galveston Gray by Benjamin Moore.  Seriously considering painting either my kitchen or bathroom cabinets this color.

{QUOTE}

So True.  Great daily reminder.

JCREW DYED MINI JEAN SKIRT

I have been obsessed with this hot pink number ever since seeing Blair wear it on AP.  I found it on sale in Charlotte and promptly scooped it.  It fits perfectly and is a fun way to add some bright color to my outfit!

WALLPAPER

I love this wallpaper.  It is perfect for a bathroom.  Anyone know who makes it?

VELVET BY GRAHAM AND SPENCER GODDESS MAXI DRESS

I have been on the hunt for some solid colored simple maxi dresses.  I have tried on so many and they never fit right but this one does.  I ordered the Inkdrop color which is a dark Navy.  I am thinking about ordering black too.  It fits well, washes well, and is the perfect backdrop for fun jewelry or some bright sandals.  I highly recommend.

KIDS GALLERY WALL

I adore this idea of framing kids artwork in the same frames and making a uniform art wall.  I have to say this kid’s artwork is pretty good:)  Really loving this whole room.

REBECCA MINKOFF SURI WEDGES

Confession I still don’t own a pair of wedges.  I just can’t find the right pair.  I am not afraid to spend a little money on a good pair because I know I will wear them for years.  I don’t buy shoes that often- its the one thing I am practical about (haha).  Love these Rebecca Minkoff wedges.  They come in nude and brown but I think I like the nude best.

The Bachelorette

I am so glad my favorite reality show started back up.  Mondays are not the same without the crazies on The Bachelor/Bachelorette.  I am even more excited to watch this season since it was filmed in my hometown, Charlotte.  I think Emily is very pretty but last night I was a little disappointed.  I just don’t see her being that exciting.  And we can talk about how many times she said “awesome” last night.  Matt and I started counting and it was alot.  I will still be watching the whole season and enjoying watching grown men cry.

    So many things about this post I love and can relate to! I am having a hard time finding a maxi dress that fits right too. I have tried on so many it is getting very frustrating! I will have to try the one you recommended. I am pretty practical about shoes, which my hubs is so thankful for! Ha! But I did just buy a pair of DV wedges and I love them. I get compliments every time I wear them! I fell asleep in the beginning of the Bachelorette last night. I DVR'd it, and will watch later. So funny you and Matt were keeping track of how many times she said awesome!

  2. I find that kid's artwork to be suspiciously good. I never drew like that as a kid. Let's put it that way. Love your skirt pick up. I kind of feel like I need it as well…

    I did a gallery wall in my son's room. Target has great "Art" frames that basically hinge open so you can easily put art in / take it out. I did white frames and let my son pick whatever art he wanted. I did 6 but am thinking about adding 3 more.

  4. big fan of the shirt. And i agree about the art looking quite good, baby's got talent!

  5. LOVE!! Mom and I are going to JCrew tonight after work… brilliant call on the mini skirt!! Fingers crossed it's there and on sale and in my size (asking to much?!:)) I think it's so fun that this season of the bachelorette is in CLT woop woop!! I think we'll see more of the town in the next couple of episodes… I already know Arie and Ryan will be in the final four- it was so obvious they were her best matches!!

    I die for all of Rebecca Minkoff's shoes, they always catch my eye and are the perfect mix of all the right things!! Please let me know- do you have some bright shoes already to wear with those maxi's!? I have been spending way to much time (over) thinking my bright shoe purchase this summer!

    XOXOXO

  6. I believe the wallpaper is Phillip Jeffries! Love it too. and cannot wait to see how you style that adorable skirt!

  7. Those new wedges are fabulous. BUY BUY BUY! And yes I agree with the bachelorette, think she is so cute but not very exciting. You can bet I will still be watching!

  8. I love those shoes! I pretty much only own wedges and flats. DVR'd the bachlorette and Im excited to watch it tonight!

  9. I found Emily to be a little Dull..fell asleep..love the bathroom wallpaper and moss underneath!!

  10. I'm looking forward to seeing who Emily tells to "get the f*** out"!!!

  11. Love the cute pink skirt! And I had to DVR Bachelorette last night…can't wait to watch it tonight!!

  12. Word to your mom title is cracking me up. I say that all the time. So sweet. LOVE those shoes. Might be my new obsession.

  13. Taylor says:

    Okay I came to comment and was going to say how many times did she say awesomeeeee and thank youuuu?!?! It was nuts!! I wish it was Andy Cohen's WWHL drinking game word, we would have been hammered. She is gorgeous, but I was bored out of my mind. I'll still watch every episode (duh) hopefully it'll get better?? Love the dress and the sandals!!

    Love the hot pink skirt! Hot pink shorts are definitely on my list of things to buy.

    Another thing Emily kept saying last night was, "I know, right?" I was so annoyed with her by the end of the episode! I'll still watch though 🙂

  15. funny we both posted about hot pink jcrew today! haha! great minds think alike.

    oh, and emily. bless her. i think she seems so sweet, but girl has NO personality. i thought the same thing when she was on the bachelor.

  16. Loving that wallpaper too! I really do love Emily, but you are right- she is just so normal! I think she will break a lot of hearts this season. 🙂

    XO,

    Sam

    I'm on a home decor mission lately, so I'm absolutely loving the wall paper and art wall. That is such a cute way to display kids' artwork!! Kelli

  18. Nat says:

    Love those wedges!! I'm not sure how I feel about Emily either as the Bachlorette I'm afraid it might be boring but I guess we'll have to wait and see

  19. I would have never thought of rocking a pink skirt but I like it! I got a solid maxi dress from Dots! My first time shopping there but I found a dress similar.

  20. Cam says:

    i'm loving the mini with those flats. super cute.

    i'm living in maxi dresses these days. they work with the bump and they'll be just as fab post bump. win win!

  21. I looove the idea of a kids' gallery wall. The people I nanny for have one and they will change it out according to season, etc… It's so cute, inexpensive, and always a conversation starter!

  22. You will be so cute in your pink skirt! And I love that wallpaper too. I recently pinned the kid's art image and want to do something like it at our new house, so much fun!

  23. Lala says:

    Piperlime just sent out 20% off to select customers. I received mine in the mail yesterday. Love the wedge you picked!

  24. LOVE the wedges in the nude! Wedges are my favorite kind of shoe, they are just so comfy! Take the plunge, Nat! (c: And I adore that picture of Blair…I need those flats from Ann Taylor!

  25. That wallpaper is philip jeffries like alex said and its super expensive but SO gorgeous!!

  26. Lala says:

    The wedges you love were just marked down to $210, and some piperlime customers just received a 20% off code. Email me if you want my code, not sure I will be using it 🙂
