Lust List

Summer Sandals

1. Steve Madden. Strappy and suede. Two of my favorite shoe adjectives!

 

2. Steve Madden.  Navy is one of my favorite colors to wear, so I love the idea of a simple heel in the neutral blue.

 

3. Stuart Weitzman.  I actually have these sandals in bronze and I have to remind myself not to wear them every single day. They’re so comfortable and adorable with short and flirty dresses.

 

4. J.Crew.  A less aggressive gladiator if you’re not into the full knee-high sandal. I love the studs along the bottom!

 

5. Zara.  Simple yet sexy with a hint of metallic.

 

6. Sigerson Morrison.  I love the rich caramel, brown color of these strappy flats. These are next on my must-have list!

 

7. Valentino.  I adore my Valentino “Rockstuds”, so I imagine these sandals to be similarly glamorous and comfortable. Again, I love the color of the leather and feel like these would we gorgeous with all of the white in my summer wardrobe.

When I last posted about jeans, I mentioned that ripped jeans might possibly be my favorite variety. Well it’s official- they absolutely are! I find myself choosing outfits that I immediately want to wear with my favorite cuffed and slouchy pair. Similarly, I have a thing for white shirts of every style. Combine the two and you have my go-to outfit as of late. Comfortable and casual, I like to elevate my look with feminine heels and a structured bag for a bit more polish. I’ve had these J.Crew jeans since college, but I just got myself a new pair of Rag & Bone’s that are similar. Stay tuned for those making an appearance soon!

They say home is where the heart is. And mine just so happens to be back in the beautiful state of Florida. Growing up surrounded by the river, beaches and greenery, I suppose I took the scenery for granted. But on my recent visit from New York – I stopped for a moment to smell the proverbial roses. The photos above were taken at the Club Continental, a gorgeous historic property where my family lives. The club itself is a destination for events and getaways – and from the photos, I’m sure you can see why!

 

For my trip home to Florida, I packed lots of white, breezy dresses and comfortable sandals. When I saw this maxi dress hanging in Anthropologie – I instantly fell in love. It was one of those situations where I didn’t have a place in mind to wear it, but I knew I had to have it, because it was so unique. The fabric is gorgeous with a subtle, lace embroidery that falls beautifully at ankle-skimming length. And of course, I love the sexy and dramatic neckline. I paired my new favorite summer dress with nude suede sandals from J. Crew. Let me just say, I’m obsessed with these, and they’re on sale! They’re both cute AND comfortable, and the grommets add a little bit of edge to any Summer outfit. I also love this colorful straw bag – perfect for trips to the market, or weekends at the beach!
