Head over Heels

Just went I thought there was no way that Valentino could possibly design another rockstud shoe I loved more, they came out with these beauties. The Rockstud Ankle Strap Sandal is perfectly minimal. As you all know well by now, I cannot resist a strappy bare sandal in a subtle neutral. Is there anything more chic?

The Proper Peony

Just this weekend I discovered the most darling children's clothing company, The Proper Peony. Their classic clothing is beyond precious with the sweetest details. If I had a daughter I most certainly would dress her in this Tulip Bubble.

Charlotte Simpson

I recently came across the beautiful work of British based designer, Charlotte Simpson. The clean lines she uses and unexpected back details make for brides who are looking for that perfect fusion of understated elegance. Her dresses are simple and sleek, but not a tiny bit boring. If fact, I think they are absolutely exquisite. For those of us who will not have the chance to wear a wedding dress again, she also designs other bespoke pieces. Oh, how I would love to wear a dress designed by Charlotte Simpson.

Dior Cruise 2016

This week the Dior 2016 Cruise Show was held at the famous Palias Bulles halfway between Cannes and Monaco. While the show was incredible, I was even more enchanted with all the photos I have seen of the incredible settings of all the events leading up to the show. I was transported to the South of France through Garance Dore's instagram photos. Oh, how I long to be sitting by that stunning sea!

Aerin Lauder @ the Met Gala

It's absolutely undeniable that Aerin Lauder's style is the epitome of effortless chic. I truly envy her closet. Thus, it is no surprise that she has been best dressed at the Met Gala in my book two years running. I came across these stunning photos of her getting ready for the 2014 Gala in her Oscar de la Renta Dress and couldn't resist sharing. She also had my favorite look at the Gala this year in her sleek Michael Kors gown and impactful earrings.
