cheap thrills

my list of summer bargains is already a mile long. here's what i'm currently coveting... this irresistible valentino-esque party dress ($285), these pearly midi-rings from rue gembon ($65), the perfect minty green summer clutch ($60), this i-can't-believe-people-are-wearing-these-again denim mini skirt ($78), these go-with-everything mixed-metallic sandals ($198, also available in black/silver here), the bright floral summer dress of my dreams ($30), an ultra-chic answer to white birkenstocks ($60), this black boho-chic studded clutch ($123), and this pair of perfectly glinty, barely-there ear cuffs ($60).

between the lines

after yesterday's post, i went a little stripe crazy and quickly found a winning combination at madewell. the crimson, navy and ivory stripes look even better when you add another bold pattern into the mix (although i'm pretty sure everyone has agreed that leopard is now a neutral) and i love the final result. sleek, no-fuss accessories are the finishing touch for a modern, endlessly chic ensemble.
