Orla Outfit of the Day: Rainbows and Ruffles

OOOTD:

Madewell Village Ruffle-Sleeve Shirt in Rainbow Stripe

J. Crew Petite 10" Higher-Rise Toothpick Jean in Medium Indigo Wash with Rip and Repair

Gap belt

Orla Kiely for Clarks Blanche Sandals (review here, previously worn here, here, and here)

Orla Kiely Flora Necklace

Orla Kiely Embossed Stem Jeanette Leather Bag in Fawn (Pre-Fall 2016) 

I love this Flora Necklace so much because it's quite simple and the two-tone metal makes it more versatile. My son asked me if these were two magnets stuck together and tried to pry them apart - he cracks me up!

Speaking of my son, he took these detail shots for me. 

Loving these ruffle-sleeved blouses at Madewell!

My son has seen me take outfit photos for years now, but this was the first time my daughter watched me. She seemed quite amused and while I was setting the timer again, she ran to the wall and posed for a picture herself - I love her so much!

Happy Birthday, Orla Kiely!

Happy belated birthday to the Queen of Prints, whose birthday was on Friday, May 24.

Orla Kiely Cabin Cases

I love Orla Kiely's playful name for their cabin case collection - Orlaboard! There are currently six styles available, which come in a matte coated cotton canvas, textured vinyl (my favorite for travel pieces!), or water resistant fabric. 

Cabin Case

Classic Multi Stem £220 || Solid Stem in Black £220 || Linear Stem in Liqourice £220

Flower Tile in Duck Egg £230 || Mini Stem Garden in Berry and Emerald £215 

I love this product shot of the Cabin Case paired with the 9 to 5 Work Bag.

Orla Kiely SS19: Sprig Stem in Khaki and Navy

Orla Kiely's newest addition to her bag collection is the Sprig Stem print, available in a khaki and navy colorway. These polyester bags feature a water-resistant finish and are reversible so you can choose to wear them with the print facing out, or change it if you prefer a solid color.

Inside Out - Reversible Tote

£65

Another cool feature about this collection is its lightweight fabric that can be packed away when the bag is not in use.

All-In - Backpack

£50

Probably my favorite piece from this collection is the All-In - Backpack. I'd been on the lookout for a new diaper bag that is larger than Orla Kiely's previous backpack totes, which is what I'm currently using but it doesn't always seem to fit everything I need for my kids when I'm out and about. So this bag looks ideal, and its water-resistant polyester finish makes it durable and kid-friendly.

Boxer - Small Holdall

£45

Another favorite from this collection would have to be the Boxer - Small Holdall, which I would use as a gym bag. Once again, I'm currently using an OK backpack tote as my gym bag, but it's always so completely stuffed that I'm afraid the zipper will break someday. This holdall, however, looks like it will fit everything I need to work out.

Get Away - Travel Bag

£45

Outside In - Reversible Sling

£60

Plus One - Shopper

£25

Roomie - Kit Bag

£50

Orla Kiely Watches at Macy's

I was browsing Orla Kiely online yesterday when I stumbled upon these watches, which are surprisingly sold at Macy's. I really had no idea that this popular retailer sold my favorite brand, and I wonder if they are even available in store. Apologies if this is already widely known amongst OK fans, but for me this is new, so I thought I'd share with you all! There are 28 styles available, which are shown down below or you can shop everything here.

Laurel Watch

Multi $157.99 || Silver $122.99

I've done only a tad bit of research to see how their prices compare to other places such as ChrisElli and Watches2U, and it seems that in some cases Macy's had the better deal. For example, the Multi Stem Laurel watch, which has been on my wish list for awhile, is $158 at Macy's versus $190 elsewhere. However, I did notice that ChrisElli offers price matches and often have 10% off coupon codes, so that might be worth looking into in order to get the better deal.

Bobby Watch $33.99

Sky Blue || Red || Navy || Olive

I quite like this watch as I think it would be great for casual outings to the playground or sporting events. It has a simple plastic strap, which would wipe easily, and its durability means that I wouldn't have to baby it the same way I'd have to with leather or even metal watches. 

Linear Stem Leather Strap Watch

Navy $81.99 || Green $88.99 || Burgundy $81.99

Ivy Watch

Gold $102.99 || Stainless Steel $95.99 || Rose Gold $102.99 || Stainless Steel Two-Tone $95.99

Multi Stem Watch

Tan $87.99 || Yellow $88.99 || Orange $88.99 || Cream $88.99 || Navy $81.99

Ivy Watch with Oval Stem print strap

Yellow $88.99 || Orange $81.99

Poppy Watch

Gold $88.99 || Black $67.99 || Navy $67.99 

Ivy Watch with Leather Strap

Navy $88.99 || Sky Blue $81.99 || Orange $81.99

Stem Watch

Sky Blue $81.99 || Olive $88.99

Orla Outfit of the Day: Dancing Girls

OOOTD:

Orla Kiely Dancing Girls Sundress

Coach leather wedge sandals (previously worn here and here)

Orla Kiely Poppy Watch

Orla Kiely Daisy Necklace

Orla Kiely Flower Pocket Leather Posy Bag in Light Gold

Pardon me as I stumble through this outfit post! It's been about 2 1/2 years since my last OOOTD so I'm a bit rusty.

I recently wore this outfit to my best friend's baby shower, for whom I'm soooo excited as she will be welcoming her first baby girl in just a couple months. I hadn't worn this dress before as I'd been saving it for a special occasion, and this baby shower seemed to fit the bill as this dress features a whimsy Dancing Girls print. The muted colors of the skirt, which add just an extra touch of femininity, paired well with the bright gold color of the Posy Bag. I have found this bag to be quite delicate and honestly looks so fancy to me that I try to reserve it for special occasions only.

I hope everyone has been enjoying their weekend so far!

Orla Kiely Spotted: Linear Stem Cushions on The Big Bang Theory

With the series finale of The Big Bang Theory last night, I thought it would be appropriate to post a special throwback Orla Kiely Spotted featuring the Linear Stem Pillow in the Dandelion colorway. These cushions appeared on many episodes of the show as they were frequently seen on Howard and Bernadette's couch.

@bigbangtheory_cbs

My good friend Richelle got me hooked on this show and she was the first one to point out these pillows to me as I hadn't started watching the show yet when they first appeared. Now TBBT is one of my all-time favorite shows and I will miss it so much!
