love obsessed jewelry.

i am definitely love obsessed with stacy dill's hand painted neon rhinestone jewelry. each piece is one of a kind, inspired by the designs of the vintage jewelry stacy uses to create them.

the fun pop of neon would be the perfect modern accent to a simple, classic dress or a t-shirt and jeans. definitely on my must-have list for spring!

warby parker.

i've been looking for new prescription glasses frames for ages, but i've had a hard time finding a pair that is stylish and affordable.

enter warby parker... they offer classic, vintage-inspired frames with a modern twist at $95 a pop (including rx lenses). because they mostly sell online, they also have an awesome and totally free home try-on program. they send you your top five frames so you can try them out and get your friends' opinions... after five days you send them back and place an order for your fave.

the best part of all? for every pair they sell, warby parker makes sure a person in need gets their own pair of prescription glasses. that's what i call a win-win!

my favorite fall accessory . . . tights!

in search of . . . the perfect summer tote.

why is it always so hard to find the perfect summer bag?

it needs to be big enough to hold all the essentials (beach towel, a good book, bottle of water...), but i'm looking for more than just a shapeless sack. it has to have lots of extra pockets for sunscreen, snacks, shades and all the other little things. and of course a cute design that bridges the gap between the beach and the street is a must.

here are my picks for this summer... which one is your fave?

1. bright stripes scream summer, roomy cargo pockets on the front hold all your stuff, and the price can't be beat! from target, $16.99

2. i love that this bag converts from a standard tote to a fold-over shoulder bag. it's like getting two bags in one! by ray design, $115

3. super unique marbled fabric and rugged waxed canvas combine to give this bag a chic factor that's off the charts. by bees'netta, $155

4. this bag has a classic, effortlessly cool look... i love the colorful bungee cord handle! by j. crew, $62.50

5. i adore the beetle graphics and dark leather trim on this tote... sadly it's not in my price range, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed for a sale! from anthropologie, $148

6. an adorable bike graphic and sunny yellow hue make this french-inspired messenger a winner. by ikabags, $69.74

7. the metallic fabric is cute on or off the beach, and the zip top is super practical (no more sand in the bottom of your bag!). by lesportsac, $88

8. i love the rugged-meets-chic look of leather and canvas, and this one has pockets galore! by nine west, on sale for $54.99

broundoor.

i love anything bird-themed, so obviously i can't resist these adorable purses and pouches from broundoor. check out the rest of the shop for some super awesome wallets, passport covers, journals, and more!

stuff i want . . . apolis market bag

the most perfect shopping bag ever! the fact that it's shown toting a couple of yummy-looking baguettes just makes it that much better.

from apolis, $58.

thief & bandit

thief & bandit is chock full of geometric-print textile necklaces, leather fringe earrings, and chunky braided cuffs. the quintessential cool-girl accessory shop.

celapiu

completely smitten with celapiu's braided and woven cold-weather accessories.

put a ring on it.

preferably one of these little lovelies.

1. low lux x erin wasson

2. intention

3. noir jewelry

4. lovely musings

5. mer curios

i heart anthropologie.

oh anthro, why must you continually taunt me with such charming clothes and accessories that hover just outside my price range?
