Red, White and Blue at Baby Gap

I absolutely love Baby Gap. Their selection of infant clothing is so irresistibly cute, so imagine my excitement when I got a gift card to Gap as part of a recent baby present – especially given their adorable selection of red, white and blue items. My mind skips right ahead to July Fourth… what shall she wear? I am quite aware that dressing up babies is more fun before she is here and making a mess out of everything, but I’m rather in love with clothing, so hope she will (eventually) be too! I put together a few patriotic get-ups using some of the their new arrivals. I love the hats! I’ve already bought her a few. The little chambray espadrilles melt my heart.

Sasha, you’re in trouble (wink, wink).

Outfit 1: Hat // Onesie // Shorts // Shoes

Outfit 2: Hat // Cardigan // Romper // Sandals

Outfit 3: Hat // Shirt // Pants // Espadrilles

Outfit 4: Hat // Dress // Leggings // Shoes

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?

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):

Also, you should watch the mesmerizing Zama Collection video here. See my previous Priya giveaway post here.

Um, see what I mean by gorgeous?
