The Coveted

This week, I’m smitten with:

Round retro sunglasses. This pair is a splurge and comes in seven colors. Love the look, but don’t want to spend that much? This pair is just $26 and comes in nine colors, including a rainbow pastel version.
An eyelet romper.
White minimalist nail polish. Clinique polishes are my favorite. I have the color “Hi Sweetie,” which has full coverage with one coat. It dries fairly quickly and lasts for days. A second coat looks nicer, but sometimes I just don’t have the time for it!
Embellished espadrille sandals. This pair reminds me of something Miu Miu would make, but they’re a heck of a lot more reasonable at $117.
This sleek leather tote for just $148. It’s hard to find a budget-friendly real leather tote that looks as sophisticated as this one. It’s made of saffiano leather, which I love because it’s durable and easy to wipe down if it gets wet. The tote comes in black, beige, and pink.
An oversize flower cocktail ring. It’s huge and I adore everything about it, especially the caged freshwater pearl center.
This darling crop top to wear with the season’s high-waisted skirts.

This is the second week in a row I’ve featured culottes and I think it’ll be the spring trend I actually try! I’m still on the hunt for the perfect pair, but the more skirt-like the better! Browse more options here.

Have you ever browsed the Shopbop exclusives? I’m always amazed by the incredible brands that create items just for the retailer. It’s how I stumbled across those edgy earrings by Amber Sceats and these darling conversation heart pouches by Rebecca Minkoff. (I wasn’t in the Valentine’s Day spirit until I spotted them!)

Happy New Year! I hope you all rang in 2015 with those you love! We had a low key evening at a friend’s place, listening to ’90s music and playing cards games. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend the last day of 2014, even if it meant waking up with a brutal champagne headache yesterday!

Now that a new year is upon us, I usually ignore the fact that it’s still freezing outside and I start looking forward to fresh spring clothes. I just ordered the matching retro floral top and shorts from J.Crew. The matching set reminds Dave of pajamas, but I think it comes off as a more practical take on the romper. The package should arrive today, so here’s hoping that everything fits after weeks of eating just about everything.* (I also sort of want the matching flats. Too much?)

Can you believe this pretty cami is only $15? It also comes in black and white. Stock up and wear them under itchy sweaters, with blazers, tucked into skirts, or with shorts this summer.

*Update: Both pieces are great, but I do need to exchange the top for a larger size. My normal size is incredibly tight in the shoulders and bust. There’s no stretch since it’s polyester.

I’m so impressed with all of you bloggers who are managing to balance the blog with holiday to-dos and a full-time job! I’ve definitely been slacking these past few weeks and a few days without social media is exactly what I need to refresh. Instead, you’ll find me curled up in pajamas, watching Christmas movies, and baking cookies for a couple of days before heading to my parents’ house. (Okay, yes, I’ll probably spend time catching up on everyone’s blog. It’s been far too long since I’ve commented on anything!)
