3 Stylish Favorites for Summer

It's ever-so-slowly starting to warm up here in the Pacific Northwest and to celebrate I'm digging out my open-toed shoes and short-sleeved shirts. In the meantime, I'd love to share with you some of my favorite summer pieces I've seen here and there.

1. I'm surprised how much I love Madewell--sister company to J.Crew. Have you stopped by? It's more casual than it's popular, more glamorous counterpart, but I actually find it more my style when it comes to day-to-day attire. They are hosting a pretty good sale right now...might be worth checking out.

2. This budget-conscious flat is a great choice for summer and will also stand in as a nice transitional show come Autumn. Cognac leather is my favorite neutral as it looks fantastic with black, navy, gray and even white.

3. I love a great belt--and this one is perhaps the sweetest thing I've seen in quite sometime. I didn't always pay attention to belts; in fact, I used to think they were kind of a waste of money. However, I've come to realize they are fantastic to have around and worth the price tag...particularly leather ones.

Have you seen anything fabulous lately? What are your great finds?
