dCc Look for Less: Relish in Ruffles

I have long been lusting after this Johanna Ortiz Anastasia Top. The combination of the classic shirting stripe and architectural ruffles has me seriously swooning. Thus, I am delighted that I just discovered a VERY similar top for a fraction of the price {under $100}! Run don't walk ladies, this is certainly a good one.

Reem Acra has always been known for show-stopping evening wear and the latest Pre-Fall '17 Collection has me seriously swooning.

Hayden Lasher Handbags

     

I have long adored classic Belgian loafers. Thus, I was delighted to discover Hayden Lasher handbags, which are designed using the same refined details as the shoes.  The bags are truly timeless, most certainly transcending trends. I am quite partial to the ice blue ostrich and lipstick red crocodile but wouldn't mind carrying any one of these beauties!

Sachin & Babi Showstopper

Those of you who follow me on Instagram know that I am seriously smitten with the chic Sachin & Babi Benita top I wore this weekend. It is showstopping ...  to say the least. With the voluminous shape and incredible oversized bows, it is everything you need to spruce up a simple outfit with skinny black pants.  I settled on classic black, but the top also comes in so many other gorgeous hues like this one and this one.

Leontine Linens

 You all know well how utterly obsessed with monograms I am... and there is nothing that makes me swoon more than one on a beautiful linen. I have long mentioned Leontine Linens on this blog as there is no one who does monogrammed linens quite like them in my eyes. 

I recently had the privilege of hearing the founder of Leontine Linens, Jane Scott Hodges, speak and I was absolutely inspired. Subsequently, I purchased her book, Linens: For Every Room and Occasion and devoured every page. It is teaming with both irresistible inspiration and practical tips for living and entertaining with luxurious linens. Truly is a "must have" for every coffee table.

dCc Outfit Obsession: Tied with a Bow

I cannot even begin to tell you how completely gaga I am for this Rosie Assoulin gown that style icon, Marina Rust Connor wore to the MET Gala a few years ago. It has popped up in my Pinterest feed multiple times lately and I cannot get my mind off of it. The dramatic yet classic silhouette accented by the incredible sleeve detail is simply jaw-dropping. This is a bold statement ... but I think this may be one of my favorite dresses EVER.

Marchesa Pre-Fall 2017

Season after season, Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig manage to come up with one beautiful confection after the next. This season I was simply swooning over their Pre-Fall collection inspired by Faberge eggs. Each gown is utterly breath-taking and I would truly love an excuse to wear this one or this one. The entire collection is currently available for pre-order on Moda Operandi.

Lovely Loire Valley Wedding

This wedding held at a Chateau in France's Loire Valley truly caught my eye this week. It is no surprise that it was a beautiful day given the bride is the Executive Producer behind one of my favorite lifestyle blogs, Camille Styles. The setting was nothing short of dreamy, truly straight out of a fairytale. But, what really left me swooning was the bride's impeccable look from her gown and custom cape designed by Amir Tagu to the fabulous rose colored feather jacket she changed into at the end of the evening ... perfection.
