THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY SALE!

*from this post Happy Friday! Today is a very happy day indeed. (And not just because there’s a Design Darling promo code at the end of this post!) 😉 Three years ago on March 1, I launched designdarling.com, an online boutique that would complement the daily blog you’re reading right now. I was ten months out […]

THINGS ORGANIZED NEATLY

how to style a bar cart

Confession time. You know my apartment? The one with the colorful gallery wall and tidy desktop? It is messy. So so messy. No matter how hard I try to stay on top of it, I can’t seem to keep up with my own messes. Clothes piled on top of chairs, dog toys scattered all over the floor, and […]

LOOKING FOR A NEW SOFA…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it a thousand more times, but Pinterest is really a girl’s best friend when it comes to decorating. Right now I’m on the hunt for a new sofa (my current one has seen a few too many puppy paw prints…) and I keep turning to my interiors board for […]

LONDON RECOMMENDATIONS?

Remember that post where I shared a few of the places I’m dying to visit? I have a few pretty big adventures in the works for the next couple months, the first of which is a trip to London! My brother Grayson is studying abroad there for the semester and I’m so excited to visit him […]

PERFORATED LEATHER ACCESSORIES

I’ve been noticing a new trend at several of my favorite retailers: white perforated leather bags, shorts, and even shorts. I had been coveting a pair of perforated leather ballet flats last spring that sold out before I could pull the trigger and I’ve been dreaming about them ever since (don’t you know the feeling?). […]

12 SHIRTDRESSES I LOVE RIGHT NOW

preppy shirtdresses

I swear I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect shirtdress for at least a year. I love a crisp popped collar and every girl looks good with a belted waist — it’s just been a question of seeking out my best options. I really think shirtdresses are a preppy girl’s best friend come spring […]

J.CREW NEW ARRIVALS

Did anyone else fall head over heels for the looks at J.Crew’s fashion week presentation? (It’s one event where I think I would faint if I received an invite. #goals.) There were so many killer pieces: the feather skirt, dyed scarves, the striped fisherman sweater… Le sigh. Their styling always encourages me to approach my closet […]

JILLIAN HARRIS STYLE CRUSH

Confession: I’ve recently rediscovered my love for HGTV shows like House Hunters and Love It Or List It Too. Don’t get me wrong, I can still get down with a Bravo marathon or a Homeland binge, but there’s something nice about curling up for a wholesome half hour where no one’s cursing, screaming, or flipping […]

FASHION WEEK OUTFITS

I had so much fun this fashion week! It couldn’t have been colder outside but I loved getting to see so many of my friends from around the country and to have a little more fun with my winter wardrobe! Here are a few peeks from my week as well as the deets on what I […]

10 TOPS I LOVE RIGHT NOW

10 tops i love right now

If there’s one thing no closet can have too much of, it would be a tie between tops and shoes (though this freezing winter has me thinking these outerwear options should stay in the mix). Okay, so that was more like three things, but you catch my drift. Here’s my reasoning: grab your favorite pair of […]
