Casual Summer Days and Nights

With my due date only 15 days away, I’m doing something I haven’t done in 265 days… looking at regular clothing! No more maternity shopping for me (hallelujah, seriously!). I spent far too long the other day browsing through every single item at J. Crew – their summer collection is so dreamy. I am in love with this chambray tunic and these eyelet shorts. With Memorial Day weekend coming up, I thought I’d put together two outfits – one for brunching outdoors with friends and one for eating on the patio at night. I am so anxious to get back into my old clothes – can you tell? I want to wear both these outfits tomorrow! Is your wardrobe ready for summer? One serious staple item to add to your cart are these shorts!

Met Gala 2014

My favorite fashion event (besides a royal wedding) is the annual Met Gala in NYC. I absolutely love the bold dresses that stars done for this big night out. I was following along on Instagram last night, and absolutely fell in love with some of my favorite star’s outfits. The nine pictures below are my favorites. I personally think that the Gossip Girls, Leighton and Blake, stole the show though – their dresses are absolutely stunning. Which look is your favorite?

1. marion cotillard in dior // 2. gisele bundchen in balenciaga // 3. selena gomez in DVF // 4. blake lively in gucci // 5. lauren bush lauren // 6. emma stone in thakoon // 7. leighton meister in emilio pucci // 8. beyonce in givenchy // 9. jessica alba in DVF

How Cara and Liz Style Priya

As announced a few weeks ago, my friend Joy recently launched a new jewelry line, Priya, which has recently been featured on two of my favorite blogs – Cara Loren and Sequins & Stripes. I am so proud of Joy – both Cara and Liz styled the pieces so perfectly. I love them! That pear ring is my absolute favorite.

If you haven’t already, read Cara Loren’s Jeweled post and Liz Schneider’s Navy Maxi post – some of their jewelry pictures are below! Which is your favorite piece from the Zama Collection?

PS Is Cara not the most perfect pregnant lady ever?

Esther Houston in La Petite Mag

Esther Houston, model and wife of Hillsong United (favorite Christian band) singer, Joel Houston, was honestly the most beautiful pregnant person I have ever seen. Their cute little baby boy, Zion, is now 7 months old – did I mention he’s cute? Check out his Instagram.

Esther recently posted pictures from a maternity shoot she did with La Petite Mag when she was forty weeks pregnant (I hope I look half that good!) on her blog Miss Whoo. I absolutely love her maternity style. The striped blue maxi dress is gorgeous – I’d really like to own all of these dresses!

Priya Launches Zama Collection

There are few people in life I’m more inspired by than my good (not to mention, ridiculously gorgeous) friend, Joy Kennedy. Three years ago, she launched Priya, an accessories line that is committed to fair trade luxury and employing groups of underprivileged artisans. Since 2011, Priya has worked with groups of human trafficking victims, special needs artisans and impoverished women in Nicaragua. Sold yet? Yes, the company is amazing. The best part is that the products are absolutely flawless. I love the purses so much from the original collection, but two weeks ago, Joy launched the Zama Collection, the first contemporary jewelry collection handmade by artisans in Jaipur, India. It’s unbelievable to see these pieces after sifting through the product sketches at Zoe’s Kitchen over lunch a year ago.

Joy graciously gifted me one of my favorite pieces for my birthday last month – the Square Ring in Blue. I literally get compliments from people every single time I wear it. I’m obsessed! The pieces are crafted with the highest quality materials. You’ll love them as soon as you put them on. I’ve compiled a collage of my favorite Zama pieces above. Shop the collection (top left to bottom right):

Um, see what I mean by gorgeous?
