Orla Kiely for Danone Light & Free Yogurt Part 2


Orla Kiely has once again teamed up with Danone Light & Free Yogurt (see last year's debut here). Her Sunset Flower print is seen on their Fab Fig n' Honey yogurt in a pink and purple colorway that coordinates nicely with the featured fruit. These adorable cups of yogurt are available in 4-packs and can be purchased at Tesco stores.

Meet Orla Kiely at Dovecot Studios


Orla Kiely's A Life in Pattern exhibition is currently being held at Dovecot Studios through June 2019, and now you can meet the designer herself when she partners with John Lewis stylists to talk about interior design. The event will be held on Saturday, June 15, 2019 from 11:00 am - 12:00 pm. Tickets are £16.58 and are available for purchase here, which includes entry into the exhibition as well as a time following the event to get posters and books signed by Orla Kiely. 


What an amazing event this will be! I would be SO thrilled for the opportunity to meet my all-time favorite designer, but unfortunately will not be able to attend this event as it is in Edinburgh. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, though, that the exhibit will make its way to the US soon, along with a meet-and-greet with Orla Kiely herself!

Orla Outfit of the Day: Yay Crochet

OOOTD:
Anthropologie Polka Dot Belt


This Madewell crochet tank is probably one of my all-time favorite pieces in my wardrobe. When I first saw it in store, I immediately put it on my wish list and purchased it as soon as it went on sale. I can see myself pairing it with so many outfits, from jeans to midi skirts. The combo sweater-tank makes this great to wear year-round as well.


I have also been loving these J. Crew jeans lately - I'm always a sucker for distressed denim and the button-fly is on trend. 

Nail polish color: Ciate Sugar Plum


Just a few more days and then I'm officially on summer vacation! Hope everyone had a great start to their week :)

I Heart Orla Kiely


The I Heart Orla Kiely print made its debut today! This collection features four pieces in a black nylon water-resistant finish with leather accents and of course, the adorable I Heart OK design with a rainbow background. I am so in love with this collection and I want every piece!

£125

I have been wanting a new backpack either for the gym or to use as a diaper bag, and this one is so perfect!


£95

If I had to pick a favorite from this collection it would have to be the Rhona Crossbody. I had been looking forward to this bag since I saw it in the Autumn/Winter 2018 Lookbook and I'm so glad it's finally available. I love the updated adjustable leather strap, which is also removable so you can wear it as a clutch as shown in the product shots below.


£75

  
£65


There will probably never be another design more fitting for me considering I created a blog and Instagram simply because, I love Orla Kiely :)

Orla Kiely's latest Instagram post teases a new print that will be released soon! I am so excited for this particular design as it fits my blog name perfectly :)


Travel Pouch with Orla Kiely's newest print seen in the Autumn/Winter 2018 Stem Lookbook

This I Heart OK design was actually made for the AW18 collection, but was never released due to the company's temporary closing. But now it looks like this print will finally make its long-awaited debut soon! I honestly can't think of a bag that suits me more than this one :)

Orla Outfit of the Day: Rainbows and Ruffles

OOOTD:
Gap belt
Orla Kiely for Clarks Blanche Sandals (review here, previously worn here, here, and here)


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.
