Lisi Lerch: The queen of the blue tassel earrings.

IMG_6402

I shot these photos with Bekka right before I went to London and Paris and haven’t had a chance to post them yet! Lisi Lerch asked me to take over their Instagram for a day while I was abroad so thought I would share them with you now!

First of all, if you haven’t heard of Lisi Lerch, please do yourself a favor and head on over to her website. It’s all sorts of pretty. In addition to her signature blue tassel earrings (I’m sure you’ve seen them all over instagram), she has quite the selection of fun necklaces and statement earrings. Her line is bold and feminine with a side of prep.

I absolutely love the Ava earrings I picked out from Lisi. They are perfect for a night out on the town or for a special occasion.

The signature blue tassel earrings are also a jewelry must-have. I love pairing them with a statement coat, blue hues or stripes.

Last but not least, I’ve also been wearing the white tassel necklace like crazy. It’s a great piece to dress up any sweater or casual tee shirt.

Serena & Lily Apparel
1

Ladies, get ex-ci-teddddd. Serena and Lily apparel is here!!! We all know and love them for their colorful, bold patterns and coastal inspired decor but the home retailer has now entered into the realm of women’s apparel – we ain’t mad about it, right?

Serena-and-Lily-Women's-Apparel-Line-Alice-Party-Dress

Their capsule collection has a wide variety to choose from including classic shift dress silhouettes, colorful pajamas, east coast inspired cover-up’s and more. Items already on my radar include the impeccably tailored June Party Dress (perfect for an upcoming bridal or baby shower), the navy Ruthie Poncho (for casual weekend wear), and the Jane Striped Shirtdress (so stinkin cute). And can we please just talk about the pajama selection? I’m seriously obsessed with matching PJ sets so I will most definitely be adding a pair (or two) to my ever-growing pajama collection. I particularly love the two piece short sets in the French Ring print or the Hearts. You can scroll through my favorite pieces from the capsule collection below and shop the entire women’s apparel collection on Serenaandlily.com.

Weekend Notes

TGIF, my friends. How was everyone’s week? If you follow me on Snapchat (laurennelsonny) you probably know that I took a cooking class at the Institute of Culinary Education in Flat Iron on Wednesday night. We cooked a huge Italian feast that was quite delicious. I’m really upping my cooking game as of late! Thursday I had dinner with my lovely friend Sandra from Tommy. Here are some of my favorite links from around the web this week. Have a great weekend! Xo. Lauren
