First: I omitted a very important part of the amazing giveaway I launched on Monday (if you’ve not yet entered, do so by the end of today by leaving a comment on this post for a great addition to your jewelry box!) — the fact that this giveaway was coordinated by the amazingly talented Stella + Dot stylist Dawn Biddlecomb! If you like her Facebook page or follow her on Pinterest (in addition to leaving a comment on the giveaway post), you will be entered twice into the running for this amazing treat! Woot woot!
Second: can I tell you that I found the absolute cutest striped, cap-sleeved blouse ($54) at Loft, of all places?! Love the cut + fit. The shirt has made me long for dead-of-summer heat, the 4th of July, and all things red-white-and-blue. This in turn led to something of a stripe fixation in the middle of the week, and this RED Valentino top shot to the top of my covet list ($395), which I might wear with red or white skinnies and these phenom Sergio Rossi sandals ($1,000):
Like the look? Another beachy option would be this stunning caftan (on sale for $199)
Wear in the evening with this glitzy clutch (too adorable…Milly, $350) and the highest heels you can muster (Louboutin, $995):
OR, you can wear it over a simple striped bikini (Phillip Lim, $125 for top; $125 for bottom):
Finish with this glam gold carry-all ($420) and chic gold-and-black sandals (Tory Burch, $265):
Also loving a pop of red in this embroidered eyelet tank ($65), a chunky gold necklace ($28), white skinnies, and those glossy gold J. Crizzle sandals I’ve featured 2,328 times — $138):
Finish with one of these embroidered clutches by Mar Y Sol ($95):
Also dying over this daisy lace mini ($98 — or get the look for less with this Joe Fresh style, $49) with a shell ($56 and slightly cropped — but the skirt should come up high enough / sit high enough so no skin is exposed…that Christina Aguilera midriff baring thang is not my style) and this funky statement necklace (D & G, $1,425 — or get the look for less with this Tory Burch tassel necklace, $250):
If you’re not too afraid of matchy-matchiness, round it out with these adorbs Red Valentino sandals ($295) and this white clutch (YSL, $890):
Almost to the freakin weekend!
Liked Dawn on facebook & pinterest!
Love all of these! And a giveaway, always nice… Especially when it’s Stella & Dot!
I’m going to try Gap – thanks! 🙂
Love the Sergio Rossi sandals
I just got that striped puff sleeve top from the Loft a few days ago and since then I have ordered 2 more colors! It fits perfect and will be so cute in the summer!! It is a great top to feature!
Everything here is TO DIE FOR, especially those Sergio Rossi sandals! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!
XXOO,

I KNOW. I need those puppies.
I am on the hunt for a pair of white skinny jeans and having some trouble! I feel like all the pairs that I have tried on are too sheer or really unflattering (but I love regular skinny jeans – I have about 6 pairs!). Any suggestions of where to look?
You know I’m a J. Brand snob — have you tried their white skinnies? I also had a pair that I liked from J. Crew, but I know that their denim can be a tough fit on some folks. One other thought — Gap, of all places. I’ve had a lot of readers say that they’ve found great fits there!
I just bought the maternity version of the Loft top last week! Will have to get the J. Crew lace number for next summer, love it!
It is the cutest shirt ever, Jen! I love the zipper in the back with that little ribbon hanging down. So cute!
