  • Finally used my last Christmas gift card to buy a gorgeous pair of Tory Burch shoes 
  • Enjoyed rooftop drinks with my birthday gift still in tow
  • Brought out this ridiculous Lilly Pulitzer koozie at the pool (purchased on eBay)
  • Found the easiest summer dress (it’s now sold out, but here’s the link in case it pops back)
  • Played dress up while organizing the mess of jewels in my side of the dresser (rings from Julie Vos, YSL and a vintage ring from Frippery Vintage)

SHIFTY

Shift dresses are usually pretty unfortunate on my frame, stretching unforgivingly across my hips and clinging to the wrong places. Despite that, I still fell for this dress at Piperlime and decided to give it a whirl (it’s already sold out, but this one is similar). Aside from the rancid smell right out of the package (as I mentioned here), the dress is pretty fantastic with plenty of room through the hips (phew!). I have no doubt that this easy-to-throw-on piece is going to get plenty of wear this summer.

On another note, would you believe that I curled my hair for these photos? I. Hate. Humidity.

BAUBLE OF THE WEEK

Loren Stewart, $295

I have a soft spot for emeralds, my birthstone, but I have yet to add the green gem to my collection. I assumed my first emerald would be a sparkly, finely cut piece, but I’m actually quite drawn to the organic shapes of this dainty ring by Loren Stewart. The band features an emerald, opal and diamond set on a 14k gold band. (There’s also a turquoise version.)

CURRENTLY COVETING

My weekly “Currently Coveting” post usually includes splurges that I can’t afford, so I challenged myself to create a board of only items under $100 proving (to myself) that style doesn’t have to cost a fortune.

1. Samudra, $65 | 2. NARS, $20 | 3. Pim + Larkin, $98* | 4. Shashi, $35 | 5. Gorjana, $40 | 6. Madewell, $12.50 | 7. J.Crew, $69.50** | 8. Heather Hawkins, $88 | 9. Topshop, $70 | 10. J.Crew, $55**

*The review for this dress is terrible, but I bought it and love it. Finally, a shift dress that looks good on girls with hips. I went with my regular size (medium) and it fits perfectly. The only downside is that the dress smells rancid right out of the package. Most of the smell faded after one wash and a generous spritz of Febreeze.

**Take 30% off of the J.Crew items with code HISUMMER. The discount ends tomorrow.
