I’ll admit that I’m not the most spiritual person, but I can definitely appreciate it–and admire it–in people like Katie Scott. The Houston-based interior designer launched her brand in 2005, but it wasn’t until years of reflection and a commitment to spirituality that she launched her jewelry collection with the intent to bring more meaningful and symbolic jewelry to the marketplace. Of course her collection includes the cross, the Star of David, and the hamsa, but there are also more subtle designs that don’t immediately read as spiritual. Take this ring or cuff, for instance. The design looks just like lattice work, even though it’s made of crosses. There are also rosary-inspired pieces that are studded with metal dots and diamonds. For me, I love the starburst ring (what a statement!), the simple Katie band (the perfect everyday ring), and the Katie choker (sleek enough to layer with other pieces).

This week, I’m smitten with:

  • A vibrant splash of yellow in the form of an easy to grab-and-go clutch. It’s no surprise that this Tory Burch version is my favorite. It also comes in the prettiest pale pink.
  • Leopard for spring. I actually ordered this coat last weekend with the Ann Taylor Friends & Family promotion (along with this romper). I added it to my order to qualify for free shipping, but I’m actually pretty excited for it to arrive. I’ve been wearing a lot of black to work and this coat would make the commute to work feel less depressing.
  • This adorable striped dress. It has good reviews and it’s only $35. Well done, Old Navy.
  • Wooden accessories, especially this tropical-meets-modern necklace. (This $15 H&M necklace is also great.)
  • A vibrant Florence Broadhurst beach towel. I fell for Florence Broadhurst’s designs when Kate Spade did a collaboration with the brand. I don’t exactly need another beach towel when my Turkish bath towel does a fantastic job, but this one is tempting. (It was on sale last weekend for 50% off. Keep an eye on it in hopes that it goes down again.)
  • Patterned shorts.
  • Striped sandals with a ladylike block heel.

If there’s one piece of jewelry that’s going to get you excited for warm weather, this is it (and they’re only $60). Personally, I hate metal touching my skin when it’s humid outside, so I usually wear oversize earrings throughout the summer. (They also make my ponytail look chic and intentional when I’m just trying to beat the heat. 😉 )

As if Lisa Salzer isn’t busy enough with her own line, her Lulu Frost for J.Crew pieces this season are incredible. This piece tops my wish list. Doesn’t it look like it was plucked straight from an estate auction?
