Skirt: Pucci // Top: A.W.A.K.E. Mode (matching skirt) // Earrings: Jennifer Fisher (see the matching necklace here)

Thank you to Saks Fifth Avenue for sponsoring this post


I love how these two pieces feel like they were made for each other! This A.W.A.K.E top actually does have a matching skirt here, but I preferred how it pops off of this Pucci skirt. Saks Fifth Avenue has so many amazing new arrivals right now, and I am having trouble narrowing down my cart. I am heading on a little trip soon and did pick up this dress in green (it is equally chic in black)! I can’t wait to style it. Below are a few more pieces that I am loving from Saks Fifth Avenue right now…



MARIGOLD FROCK

Talk about a beautiful hue for the season. This marigold dress is a stunning shape with equally stunning details. I would add white accessories like these shoes and this bag.


A GREEN MOMENT

I just picked up this halterneck maxi dress and it is even more beautiful in person. I haven’t yet decided how I want to style it, but thinking perhaps that with these sandals I own in white and raffia accessories could be chic.


STATEMENT TURQ STUDS

These combine two things I love right now – statement studs and turquoise! Not to mention, these were created by one of my favorite accessory designers, and great personal friend!


PINK FRINGE PARTY

This fringed crochet clutch is bound to be a conversation starter! I am loving the pink personally, but this bag is also available in green and blue. So, pick your hue!
