Styled || Design Darling Necklace

Roughly two years ago I discovered Mackenzie Horan's blog and online boutique Design Darling and instantly fell in love. I still remember ogling over the adorable merchandise and overall visual perfection of her blog, and have been a follower ever since.

After obsessing looking through the site I discovered the tortoise shell link necklace and it immediately went to the top of my wish list. I've asked for it for Christmas the past couple years but it always seemed to be sold out. Back in July I went to the Smart Girls Conference in NYC and met Mackenzie in person for the first time. While we were chatting I mentioned how I had been lusting after the tortoise necklace for so long and when she told me that Design Darling would be having a sale in August I knew it would be the perfect opportunity to finally purchase the necklace for myself!

I ordered the necklace on Sunday and when it arrived on Thursday morning I was super excited and pleasantly surprised by the speedy delivery.  I immediately put it on and wore it to a farewell girls night dinner with my best friend. It was the perfect addition to my usual summer uniform of white jeans and a solid color top and made an otherwise plain outfit feel special. I can't wait to play around and see how it can spice up other looks!

PS: Thanks to my brother who snapped these for me outside of our winery. #youdabest
