Fashion + Philanthropy Friday

Happy Friday! This week's items are from FEED Projects and totally summer-appropriate.  I love the new nautical-themed products on their site, and the fact they provide meals to those in need! Purchase the beach blanket {here}, bag {here}, and pouch {here}. Have a great weekend!

ADEAM Spring 2014

ADEAM's Spring 2014 collection is pretty flawless, and a wonderful inspiration for spring and summer fashion.  Below are my favorite looks from the collection, I love all of the neutrals, patterns, and navy! {All images via Style.com} 

Sparkle + Bubbles

Even though wearing heels gives me aches and bruises faster than I was in my early 20s, I still love nothing more than getting dressed up and sipping some bubbly. Below is my idea of the perfect outfit for a night of champagne - how gorgeous is that dress!?

Currently Coveting

My blog focuses primarily on fashion, but as I get older my love for home decor {and candles!} grows more and more, and I often debate between spending money on a new pair of shoes, or a great piece of serveware for entertaining. Below are a few random fashion items and home decor I am currently loving: 

 1. Cutler and Gross for J Crew sunglasses {here}
2. Fresh candle via Sephora {here}
3. Botkier crossbody bag {here}
4. Saint Laurent sandals via Net-A-Porter {here}
5. Jonathan Adler Mr. and Mrs. coffee mugs via Design Darling {here}
6. Tibi skirt {here}

Neon

Bright blues and turquoise shades always feel appropriate for spring/summer, and I am loving the items below for that very reason.  Essie's new Neon Collection is spot-on for the spring and summer seasons, and turquoise earrings paired with the always-festive Clover Canyon and black accessories ties it all together. A summer look isn't complete without the right beauty products, and I think I need to get my hands on that perfect shade of pink from Estee Lauder; and Dior's Blackout mascara is always my go-to mascara, it's my FAVORITE!

Parties of any kind and for any occasion are the best excuses to wear bright, fun pieces and colors, or even off-the-wall accessories or clothes.
