This week, I’m coveting plenty of not-so-budget friendly items:

  • A cami with a pretty ruffled hem. There’s a good chance that it’s not flattering at all, but it’s worth a try!
  • A light fixture that’s making me wish I owned a home and a room with dramatic navy paint. Would it be weird to buy it now and store it to use someday? (Yes.)
  • A ladylike Rachel Zoe dress. The short hemline keeps it from being too demure. (I purchased a romper by the designer last year and was impressed with the quality and attention to detail. I have high hopes for the dress.) This nail polish set complements the colors of the dress perfectly.
  • A pineapple matchbox. Add a candle for a lovely hostess gift.
  • A pair of quirky-meets-traditional loafers from Kate Spade. The slightly pointed toe reminds me of the Everlane pair introduced last year.
  • An updated take on a signet ring.
  • The very first designer bag I ever fell in love with. Even though Chloé is having a sartorial moment, I loved the crossbody Marcie style since it was first introduced. Honestly, the idea of spending this much on a handbag gives me a panic attack, but I’m considering setting aside $50 per paycheck and all blog/eBay money in hopes of taking the plunge someday. (At that point, I feel that the larger version is probably more practical. I’d like a bag I could at least tuck my camera in on vacation.)

This week, I’m coveting:

  • A linen dress with pretty dip-dyed ruffled sleeves. Shift dresses rarely work on me, so I’m envious of the ladies who can pull of this pretty summer frock! Wouldn’t it be fun to wear to a gallery opening? It would look incredible paired with this necklace.
  • A ring that makes cocktail hour even more fun.
  • A small handbag that makes a big statement. I’m obsessed with this bag, but if you aren’t into the embellishments, this version comes in cream, orange, and light blue.
  • Everything at the Lulu Frost sample sale. This necklace tops my wish list. Some of the brand’s newer pieces (like the horn pendant and scarab earrings) are on sale at Net-a-Porter here.
  • The unexpected braided leather detail on this pair of sunglasses.
  • Stemless wine glasses with pineapples on them. As if I needed more reason to buy a bar cart… They also come in a palm tree version and with flamingos.
  • A pair of everyday flats. After this cast is off, I’m stuck with sensible footwear for the rest of the summer. I’ll probably have a few weeks of sneakers before transitioning into something more fun, like Tory Burch Reva ballet flats (shop ’em here).

This week, I’m coveting:

  • An embroidered dress on sale at Nordstrom for 50% off. Pair it with simple sandals.
  • Lulu Frost’s stone inlay pieces. I adore the mix of lace agate, sodalite, pyrite, goldstone, and red jasper in these stud earrings.
  • Serious statement wedges from Loeffler Randall.
  • An embellished bag to liven up your easiest summer dresses.
  • Mosaic-inspired shorts with an elastic waistband for the hottest summer days.
  • An amazing horn pendant that I’m tempted to purchase in June.
  • The prettiest patriotic bra and underwear set.

Before I delve into the items that caught my eye this week, there’s a huge event worth mentioning: Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale. It’s your chance to snag spring and summer merchandise at up to 40% off. Some of my favorites include a black trapeze sexy ball gown prom dress, a work-appropriate satchel, a “Nudist” sandal knockoff (or get the real version in navy on sale here), and simple leather sandals by Tory Burch (metallics available here). Now that that’s squared away, here’s what caught my eye this week:

  • A zigzag eyelet shell in navy. Aside from this top, I’m disappointed in J.Crew’s new arrivals this month. Who’s going to pay $110 for an ugly yarn and seed bead choker? The product description says, “So if someone asks if you made it yourself, you have our permission to say yes.” I wouldn’t take credit for it and evidently J.Crew doesn’t want to either. And then there’s this. What the hell? And these! Because plastic in the summer is always a good idea.
  • Ben-Amun statement earrings. In fact, there are many gorgeous new arrivals from the designer on The Outnet right now. Most earrings are under $100.
  • A sweet little notebook. I’d like to start bringing a journal on vacations to record daily activities and observations. I usually assume Facebook is good enough, but I’m forgetful and a notebook is much more romantic.
  • Culottes! They’re so ridiculous, but I still want a pair. White would look pretty with that J.Crew shell… 😉 Shop a selection of white culottes and other white pants here.
  • A navy bucket bag. Navy is by far my favorite color, but I have yet to add a bag in the hue to my collection. I’m also obsessed with this bag. I saw it at the Tory Burch boutique last month and haven’t stopped thinking about it.
  • Iridescent slides on sale! I also love these and the iridescent version of the heels I wore to a wedding last month.

This week, I’m coveting:

  • A tangerine cocktail dress from Cameo, despite the fact I have no place to wear it. (I’ve actually tried a few things from Cameo in the past. The quality is lovely, but the fit hasn’t quite worked for me. Still tempted, though.)
  • Gray Malin on Shopbop, making it that much easier to get your art fix.
  • Colorful cone pieces from Sarah Magid.
  • Metallic Madrid sandals from Birkenstock. I bought a pair in black last year and these are seriously making me regret it. If only I had known that I could have rose gold slides a year later! (While we’re on the topic of sandals, I bought these to try in white and I’m considering these in cognac.)
  • My favorite Tory Burch tote has been restocked on Shopbop! (I tend to purchase items on Shopbop instead of the designer’s site so I can take advantage of Amazon Prime’s two-day shipping.)
  • A splurge-worthy swimsuit with a sexy cutout. (I’d like to get back on the exercise bandwagon and lose another ten pounds before I treat myself to a new swimsuit.)
  • An “Aloha” ear climber and stud set. It’s an unexpected way to say hello to summer.

Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hi Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hit peak bloom right around my birthday on May 30. My mom would fill a large crystal vase with fresh-cut stems, and their scent would waft through the house. 

Now that I live a few hours south and lilac season wraps up earlier, the blooms actually mark the start of my birthday month.

Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours this year, and the cute Teig Lamp from Schoolhouse is such a charming addition to the space. It’s named for the German word for “dough,” which is perfect for its soft, petite shape.

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.
