I love the color the Lexi tote is featured in. So pretty! I am really liking purple for Fall!

I got and love the Scattered Petals tank in a 4/papaya. Usually I wear a 6P or 4 on top, so this one piece doesn’t seem to have been effected by the super-vanity-sizing. B/c I’m petite I’m going to have to shorten the strap pieces just a bit, but normal size peeps should be fine with it as is. Don’t know how it’ll do with washing – the petals were a bit flat when 1st out of the bag, but after hanging and with a little fluffing, they came to life & do little ruffley swings when I walk. It looks fantabulous under a jacket. Also, it has a zipper on the side, just in case anyone’s wondering – I could pull it over my head (but wouldn’t size down b/c it wouldn’t fit in the bust then). Okay – just thought I’d share that w/anyone interested.

Also I’m totally in love with that Heirloom flora necklace. The modular/geometric placement of the gems is so cool.

I absolutely love the Brynn dress! I just ordered it online yesterday and I can’t wait for it to come in the mail!

Did you mean to leave out the matchstick cords in the Wisteria color? Just bought them today along with the tortoise shell belt (also a Jenna pick)!
