Heat Stroke or Crush of the Week?

Despite the fact that it has been scorching hot for the past few days in Boston and we have only just begun summer up here in the Northeast, this afternoon I stumbled upon this pic of Olivia Palermo and now the only thing I can think about is wearing this blazer and scarf. I think I have heatstroke - or maybe I'm just daydreaming of fall because I'm in need of some serious cooling down from these cray temps. 


But seriously how fun is the pink lining of this blazer?! And the leather detail on the scarf! 
I'm obsessed - is it fall yet?

Corkswooning

Hey party people! 
First off, I know I'm totally slacking in the "posting almost every day" department, but I've been cray busy. But lets be honest, I'm never too busy for Kate Middleton and its Middleton Monday! 

Last night I finally came to my senses and ordered the Corkswoon Wedges that Kate rocked last summer during the Olympic Games and her Southeast Asia tour. 



I’ve been eyeing these babies for a few months now and I was really struggling with what color to get. At first I was all like, ahhhhhhhh what colorrrrrrrrr!?!? Then I took the time and reflected on the wedges that are already in my closet –

Black ones that are reminiscent of Kate’s favorite LK Bennett slingbacks.


Navy ones inspired by Pippa’s LK Bennett wedges.


And nude ones that I bought on impulse last summer because I was bored – but they can basically go with anything and they're SO comfortable. 
PS. you can score an AMAZING deal on them right here!

It looked like all signs were pointing to white – so that’s what I ordered. Now a wise woman (one of my roomies) once told me that when debating a pricier purchase, you should be able to picture at least 3 outfits you can wear the piece with - and I did just that! I recently scored a major deal on this super fun shirt-dress from C. Wonder a few days ago that would look great with the wedges and this past weekend I bought a super comfy sweater from J.Crew that I know is going to look really cute with a pair of skinny jeans and these fab wedges. Yes I know that only two outfits, but I can wear them to work too! I’m working for a baseball team this summer and coincidentally their colors are the same as Great Britain’s colors…so obviously I’m using this summer as the perfect opportunity to dress the way Kate did during the Olympic Games - aka CORKSWOON WEDGES!
Love them as much as I do? Get them here!
Did I mention that THEY'RE ON SALE!

If you're in the market for a new pair of wedges I would recommend all of these, but you definitely need to check out the corkswoon wedges. They're easy to walk in, well made, look awesome...and above all, Kate has them! 



See, even Kate is happy I bought them! 



Happy Middleton Monday!

C. Wonder

Hi all! I meant to post this forever ago, but since I’ve started my summer internship the amount of free time I’ve had has decreased significantly….but who doesn’t love a 65 hour work week? 

While out on Nantucket the other weekend I finally set foot in a C.Wonder store to see what all of the hype is about. Owned by Tory Burch’s ex husband, C. Wonder offers a diverse assortment of beautiful, versatile, and spirited products that pair timeless design elements with fresh twists, such as unexpected vibrant colors and patterned linings. They offer a collection of total must-haves — key items to enhance a room, refresh a wardrobe or inspire a memorable experience

There are so many things I love about the store. The fact that you can basically monogram ANYTHING you find, makes me grin ear to ear. And the prices are super reasonable - most items are between $25 and $200. 

I loved these mugs! Such a great way to brighten up your morning coffee!






As much as I wanted to purchase nearly everything in the store, I am getting a very modest paycheck from my internship so I only picked up a few pieces. One was this super comfortable knit sweater that I absolutley LOVE.


obsessed.



How cute is this! A little candy station where you could put some goodies in a bag while your'e walking around the store - perfect for the bored boyfriends&husbands

If you haven't taken a look into the wondeful world of C. Wonder, I suggest you check it out. And asap! Today is the last day you can score a great deal with 25% off clothing, shoes and bags - total summer essentials. 

So what are you waiting for, treat yourself and make your Monday a little more enjoyable!
