I am so honored to announce that I am Elva Fields “February Leading Lady!” I have long been a fan of Emily Maynard’s beautiful baubles so when she approached me about doing a little collaboration I jumped at the chance. Together we designed the lovely necklace above. I made an inspiration board (top right) and then we discussed options for beads and vintage gems (Emily has the best eye — it was so hard to choose!). I settled on the costume pearl drop earrings above and opted for shiny black beads (though the lava option at bottom right was pretty tempting). Thank you, Emily, for this amazing opportunity!

I’ve never been a huge blazer fan (they always felt so boxy…) until a recent Club Monaco tuxedo jacket purchase. It fits like a glove and now, naturally, I’m on the hunt for more. Today I’m stuck on this boyfriend blazer from ASOS. I love the smart cut paired with the flirty polka dot lining – a match made in heaven.
I wear a lot of black so when it comes to my feet I’m all for making a colorful statement. These snakeskin flats on Shopbop from Vera Wang’s Lavender Label are so chic it hurts. Plus they have the perfect spring color palette (bring on the brights!). Tell me, are you a yellow, pink, or orange kinda gal?
Oh. My. Goodness. Remember this silly picture of my little Alfred? Well, I came home tonight to discover that Inslee (an incredibly talented illustrator whose work I just adore!) was inspired to paint my baby boy! Doesn’t he look dashing?! I keep telling him he’s famous, but he just tilts his head and looks puzzled (such a humble pup…). Thank you, Inslee!!!
I was thrilled to find Anthropologie’s newest swim collection up! Their suits are my favorite, but always seem to sell out quickly (early bird gets the worm)! This season I’m thinking a sexy-but-sweet one piece is in order. Would you go for the sailor stripes, seventies chic, or wholesome gingham? Oh dear, I kind of want one of each… ;)
