Love, Loans + Linen

love loans and linen | simple pretty

Completely smitten with new online presence Love, Loans + Linen. Comprised of a shop (Love), event planning with Follow Studio (Loans) + linen service (Linen), the aesthetic is simple, restful minimalism, and I’m quite taken with it. Visit the LLL blog for more photographic bliss.

Wish this clean, graphic dress were a skirt, because I’d like it even better with a simple white tee. (and a cardigan!) From Oscar de la Renta’s resort line. See the full collection at Style.com.

Annie Walwyn-Jones Skirts

origami skirt: khaki

I tend to fall into clothing ruts, where I wear an iteration of the same components day after day. Right now, my preferred look is walking shorts with a tshirt (and a cardigan on standby for cool evenings or crazy strong a/c). I think it’s time to work a skirt back into the mix, and these options from Annie Walwyn-Jones are especially appealing. The origami skirt’s length is adjustable (simply snap one of the two tiers for a longer look), and the petal skirt is said to look good on every body. All that’s left is to choose a color: citron for some punch or khaki for workhorse reliability. Visit the Walwyn-Jones website for more information.

Loving the splashes of yellow in ADAM’s resort collection. The outfit above is a must purchase for me. Actually, I want to buy all of this right now so I can start wearing it. (And I just adore this dress, too.) See the full show at Style.com.
