can we just take a minute and talk about this headband?!?! it’s the most gorgeous blackened gold leaves, nestled together on a gold headband. it’s simply stunning and is so finely crafted. and unlike most of the headache-inducing headbands i own, it’s just loose enough to be comfortable for all-day wearing, just tight enough to never shift once in place. it completely set the tone for a more sweet, ethereal outfit pairing! xoxo.

i’ve continuously worn polka dots as far back as i can remember and in doing so, they’ve become more of a neutral staple than a pattern, able to be mixed with anything. last time i wore this dress, i went for a glam seventies vibe. this time, i loved toughening it up a bit with the addition of this biker jacket. p.s. it’s Dolce & Gabanna and my sister gave it to me the other night; my jaw dropped. my Zara leather jacket has more of a bomber cut so i love having a new option in the mix!
also - obsessing over this Charming Charlie bib collar! i always imagined these add-ons only working with collared shirts but after a bit of experimenting, i found it looks super cute with tops cut like this too! anyways, gotta jet. i’ll be instagramming, pinning and tweeting my favs from the Warby Parker summer preview event tonight and posting tomorrow! xoxo.
