This past week I’ve been craving unusually chunky watches and violet dresses, and with the weather hitting the seventies, beachy platform pumps are the only shoes weighing heavily on my mind and Badgley Mischka hit all the right spots. The biggest piece of divine inspiration came from the ensembles of two new Estée Lauder poster girls, Joan Smalls and Liu Wen, at the Estée Lauder event for the launch of the Idealist illuminator line this past week. I’ve been obsessed with dresses like these, in this color ever since.
#1 |
Mariola Sandals from Mark + James; These are my idea of the perfect summer heels, the crocheted texture and the tan leather make feet look tanned even when they’re in dire need of one. Available at Piperlime.com for $265.00. |
#2 |
Swarovski Crystal Accented Gold-Tone Chain Bracelet Watch; I love this piece not in spite of its gaudiness but because of it, let’s face it, when people ask us the time we reach for our cell phones instead of turning our wrist so the fact that this piece is such a great (big) accessory is even better. Available at Endless.com for $195.00. |

One Shoulder Caftan from Mark + James; This dress has been calling my name all week and there’s nothing I could do about it really except enjoy the delicate drapery in such a stunning and potent color. After seeing the shade on both Liu Wen and Joan Smalls, one thing is clear, this color flatters all skin tones. Available at Couture.Zappos.com for $298.00. |
