MAÉST Lilies Silk Satin Kaftan

MAÉST Lilies Silk Satin Kaftan

Have you ever seen a more regal piece? Neither have we! Whether you’re partying poolside or at a fabulous evening gala later this summer, a kaftan is always a show stopping number, especially in a bold and colorful print. This one by designer MAÉST is no short of stunning. It’s handmade and designed in Germany with 100% silk-satin. What’s even more special is the story behind the brand, founded by two sisters earlier this year with roots in Prague, Czech Republic and Munich, Germany. Creative director Marketa Schroll weaves together influences from folklore of the region, as well as color palettes and motifs from the Art Nouveau era. Each MAÉST piece is handmade with premium materials, like silk, jacquard, and cotton, and even handmade embroidery. They are made with extreme care and in super limited quantities, so each garment is truly a work of wearable art. The brand also makes gorgeous dresses, trousers, blouses, scarves, and other accessories, providing luxury at a variety of price points. If you love feminine and stylish silhouettes worthy of royalty, this is the emerging premium designer brand for you.

Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange Body Butter

Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange Body Butter

Since I’ve been showing a little more leg on vacation, and starting to self tan more regularly, I’ve made it a habit to moisturize my skin religiously every day as soon as I get out of the shower. Besides my 100% pure unrefined extra virgin coconut oil I apply at night, I use a lighter product that absorbs more quickly in the day and I’ve recently been stuck on Pacifica’s Body Butter in Tuscan Blood Orange. This is a fabulous natural product that contains high quality ingredients like shea butter, almond and safflower seed oil, and mango butter. The scent is absolutely strong, bright ,and citrusy, with subtle finishing notes of Madagascar vanilla. While this is a thick body butter, I find that it blends well over my legs and arms and doesn’t leave me waiting long to put on my clothes after application. Nourishing enough to be a daily hand cream and body moisturizer, I was using this product non-stop last week on my trip to Kansas City, where I was strutting a little more skin on the hot and humid Midwest days. I just love that this product is paraben-free, cruelty-free, and 100% vegan. Replacing it will be a breeze, too, because this product is thankfully carried at Target!

Feryal Marina Tangerine Leather Cross Body Messenger

Marina Tangerine Leather Cross Body Messenger

Even before tangerine tango was a thing last year as Pantone’s Color of the Year, vibrant orange was always my favorite color. I love everything orange, but especially orange accessories to accent an outfit with. This lovely handbag by Feryal totally caught my attention while perusing the site for new spring accessories and it’s just the right pick-me-up to get you in the mood for warmer, sunnier weather. This gorgeous satchel is perfect for everyday use as it’s equipped with a crossbody strap and plenty of pockets and inner compartments to organize your contents. The leather is a high quality 100% first grain cowhide leather and gives this bag a luxurious textured look. Let’s also not overlook the 24k gold-plated metal hardware, which beautifully compliment the orange. I love the attention to detail in this piece and think it’s a fantastic pick for not only spring but year-round.

Piazza Vita Tote in Tangerine

Piazza Vita Tote in Tangerine

Looking for that carefree carryall tote? I’m currently loving Piazza’s Vita Tote, and the only thing holding me back from purchasing it is deciding on the exact color I want. Perfect for traveling, work, or trips to the farmers market alike, this tote is great because it’s oversized yet manageable.  It’s a slim canvas bag reminiscent of some more expensive designer versions, supported by genuine leather shoulder straps, in your choice of a classic neutral or fun bright shade. At only $49, this is a great bargain for a bag that has just so many uses.

Pro tip: send your friends a free $10 eBags gift card through Embly, which they can use on anything from this Piazza collection!

Hermès Clic H Orange Enamel Bangle

Hermès Clic H Orange Enamel Bangle

I’ve been looking for this piece for months, as it seems no department stores I frequent carry this piece so I may have to defer to an Hermès boutique. Orange is my favorite color, and when I found out the signature designer bracelets came in this shade, I figured  it was just meant to be. But something is stopping me, just a few clicks away from checkout, I’m already feeling the onset of buyers’ remorse. This is such a cute piece but it’s so hard to justify that astounding price tag for just an enamel bangle. So someone please, buy me this!
