Right now, I’m coveting:

• An easy shift dress in stripes, of course
• A pretty porcelain tray to corral gems
• A set of mint julep cups, just in time for the Kentucky Derby
• Contrasting bowls stacked in the cupboard
• The Egyptian-inspired print on this airy scarf
• Mirrored shoes with a criss-cross ankle strap
• A cheerful cherry red purse

I’ve been seeing Lele Sadoughi’s jewelry pop up at more retailers lately and I’m thrilled that she’s getting the recognition she deserves for her incredible line. You can even preview her new celestial-inspired collection on Moda Operandi. I’m smitten with the “Meteor Shower” necklace. I can’t afford it now, but it doesn’t mean I’m not saving my pennies for its late-summer release. 

You can learn more about Lele in her “Behind the Baubles” feature. 

Zara sandals, $39.90

If I didn’t already purchase a pair of blue sandals in anticipation of summer, I’d definitely be adding these to my wardrobe. They’re the most irresistible shade of sapphire. 

Right now, I’m coveting:

• A bright blue bag for under $50
• A tropical skirt - all it needs is a white tank and simple flat sandals
• A little lime in the form of this J.Crew bracelet
• An ikat tee that will go with [almost] everything this summer
• This blue batik tray
• Napkins monogrammed with playful three-letter words
• Statement earrings that look carefree, thanks to clear crystals

Is there anything more summery than this resort look? Even if you’re not jetsetting this year, CB2’s Acapulco chair and this swimsuit by Mara Hoffman turn the smallest backyard into a sanctuary (add an umbrella drink and a kiddie pool for good measure).

I really admire the delicate beadwork that goes into creating a pair of Miguel Ases’ stunning earrings. Wouldn’t this pair look gorgeous with a floaty white sundress? 

I remember coveting this coat from Deborah Lloyd’s tenure at Banana Republic back in 2004. Even though I had my Gap employee discount, I couldn’t justify the purchase on my modest college budget. But some things are meant to be. I stumbled across the coat on eBay a couple of weeks ago and scored it for $40.

It’s hard to get back into the swing of things after a weekend of little indulgences: dining out, at-home manicures, and a sweet lemon-scented candle.

We spent the weekend in snowy central Wisconsin at Dave’s parents’ cabin. As much as I enjoy cozy evenings by the fire, I’m anxious for warm weather and the chance to wear my new shoes.
