zinke.

what a long week! i'll tell you this much: there will be a few margaritas and a lot of lounging in the next couple of days. i just wish i could be doing it in these gorgeous things from zinke. (wouldn't you love that navy romper as a swimsuit? me too.)

take a look around the shop. i promise that these looks are just the beginning... they have a ton of beautiful stuff.

what's on your plate for the weekend? margaritas and lounging? that's why i like you.

heidi merrick.

there's a little too much to love over at heidi merrick lately. that gauzy tunic is killing me with its pretty lace details. someone please send it my way? and also, if you wouldn't mind including a ticket to ibiza, i think we'll be all set.

p.s. take a look at this pretty open back.

rebecca minkoff.

first, i am obsessed with that dress. second, i'm obsessed with her hair. lastly, i need that dress real bad.

poppy.

enjoy these pretty summer looks from new york's poppy shop. dress is by myne; high-waist shorts are from court shop.

see by us.

the upside to having eyes that seem to get worse by the day is that i can get away with constantly shopping for new glasses.

so, i'm happy to discover yet another (super-affordable) eyewear up-and-comer in see by us, recently launched in stockholm by elisabeth wachtmeister and nicole de geer.

the literary inspiration is great—their three styles so far are the gatsby, truman and joyce—but what sold me at first sight was the logo: a perfect set of double quotes.

take a closer look at that last pair. isn't that the best?

on the etsy blog: me!



if you're looking for a quick little getaway this afternoon, head over to the etsy blog for a little roman holiday.

my favorite discoveries were these seriously incredible flats and that amazingly bright linen clutch.

big thanks to the etsy blog folks for letting me play pretend!

what would be your ideal roman holiday?

haute hippie.


well, i am obsessed.

loup charmant.

do you remember these incredible sheer beauties? well, lucky for both of us, loup charmant is still churning out some really, really lovely stuff—and still, that really beautiful touring dress.

palomarie.

i'm crazy about this handpiece from palomarie.

i'm even crazier about the entire cina collection shown in this instagram.

nicely done (again!), y'all.

albertine.

albertine is a line of adorable maillot de bain from adorable french sisters with adorable names—caroline* and anĂ©mone.

adorable, yeah?

oh, what i wouldn't give to live in that one-piece! not surprisingly, it's sold out. because everyone else wants to live in it, too.

virginie castaway.

i was happy to discover french brand virginie castaway in my internet wanderings tonight. everything about designer virginie neumann's looks makes me want to pack a little bag and wander the world.

also, the little film at the beginning is so dreamy. i want to be in it.

castle.

it's been too long since i've checked out this shop. the prints, as usual, i love. but all the velvet? wow. if velvet wasn't scientifically proven to be the no. 1 pug hair magnet, our house would be filled with all of this.
