what to wear Archives - Emily A. Clark

The Saturday 6

Jun162018

ONE. A Little Rock designer’s eclectic and art-filled home.

TWO. A Colorado-based designer’s pretty portfolio.

THREE. A big update for a 1970s kitchen/laundry room combo.

FOUR. An interiors photographer’s portfolio with lots of good modern and clean design inspiration. (Photo from her IG account.)

FIVE. Sean’s latest project is a beautiful example of decorating with neutrals.

SIX. I always forget about this site for dresses, but have found some really cute things lately for me–and for my girls. (They also carry maternity, which I do not need.)

Good Things (May 2018)

Jun52018

Summer is here–and so are my hydrangea blooms. Here’s a short list of more good things I discovered during May.

These slides are fun for Summer. (I ordered the navy.)

Also for Summer: I highly recommend this nail polish color. Great coverage. Mine stayed on almost a week.

This podcast just started, but I think it’s going to make my neighborhood walks go by in a flash.

I recently gave two sets of these personalized notecards as gifts.

I bought these inexpensive earrings–and spray painted them blue. :)

This is a great casual tank. (I had to size down, btw.)

I ordered this book for my kids after seeing their family featured on The Today Show.

I just started using this SPF 30 day cream and love the way it feels.

A great simple halter swimsuit–and it’s on sale.

I’ve had this dress (in black) since last Summer and wore it recently, which reminded me of how good it is for the price.

A reader tipped me off about this chinoiserie-inspired indoor/outdoor pillow. (On sale now.)

Woven Bags: For Your Arm, For Your Home

May82018

If you’ve been on Pinterest or Instagram for a hot minute, you’ve probably noticed that woven bags are everywhere. I’m a fan of texture in decorating in general, and if your purse can double as an accessory for your home, it’s a win-win for me. They look great with Summer dresses or draped over hooks in an entry or bathroom for stylish storage.

I ordered this inexpensive tote last month and included it in my most recent “good things” list. (Unfortunately, it sold out shortly after. . .)

Surprisingly, it became quite the online search to find one that wasn’t a crazy price. (Trendy = mark up.) I went on the hunt for more and came up with these options. Almost all of them are under $50 (several much less) because if you’re as hard on purses as I am–and carry around 50 pounds of other people’s stuff–they don’t last forever. . .
