Summer Must-Haves

Summer-Must-Haves-Design-Crush

I’d love to add these key pieces to my summer wardrobe. Doubt I’d ever take the earrings off, and this necklace would dress up a plain tee in a heartbeat. I love the size of the bag, perfect for tossing in extra things on the go. The tee and Vans are just asking for a pair of jean shorts! A sweet dress that’s light and airy would be just right paired with these sandals for date night or drinks on the patio. And a suit is of course a must!

Brevity Signature Necklace

Brevity-1-Design Crush

 

My signature hasn’t changed much over the years since learning cursive handwriting, and I sort of take solace in that. It’s my mark, my brand. I’d love to wear Brevity’s Signature Necklace as a symbol of that, of me. Sign a piece of paper five times and then Brevity chooses the version best suited to creating your personalized necklace. You can even choose whether it hangs horizontally or vertically. (via Design Milk)

Fashionably Flexible: Day to Night 3 Ways + Pin Your Style Contest

Let’s talk flexibility – in life, in your wardrobe, and in technology. I think it’s something that’s easy to take for granted when we have it in our possession, and something greatly missed when it is not. For example, a great outfit that takes you seamlessly from your day to night plans. Or a great piece of technology like the Envy x2 with Intel Inside® that has the power of two devices in one, both laptop and tablet.

Luxury 3 Ways + A Contest

Some things never go out of style, they just seem to have a staying power that doesn’t ever say goodbye. As in luxury. That quality of sleek sophistication that makes others stop and take notice, things that you’ll hang onto for years to come. The thing is, there are different ways to define luxury. Maybe it’s the ubiquitous form-fitting LBD, or an outfit that makes you feel so much like yourself that you don’t ever want to take it off. Perhaps something you love so much you take it with you everywhere. I’ve created a few looks inspired by something equally sleek and luxurious – the HP Spectre XT Touchsmart Ultrabook™. What’s your idea of luxury?
