If you’re a longtime follower of mine then you’re quite aware of my obsession for color and prints. I love prints of all kinds, but I especially love global prints (Southwest is my fave)! This Mosaic printed dress from Misred Outfitters was an instant fave for me. I think the print is so eye-catching and fun, and how pretty are those colors?

I love babydoll/smock style dresses because they’re no fuss and are perfect for everday wear. They’re flowy which makes them universally flattering, and they’re super comfy. I’ve talked about my go-to uniform consisting of a tee or tank, a blazer and some denim, but during the week I’m all about easy dresses like this. From dropping my daughter off at school, to running errands around town, I crave an outfit that’s effortless, but still stylish.

I know how important it is to have good basics in your closet, but I think I’ll always struggle with balancing out the basic pieces with the loud prints. If I find a good print in a great cut, I just can’t resist. Plus, this dress is under $40, so you can’t beat that. *Use code: BellePromo10 for 10% off your purchase at BeMisred.com! P.S. Prices are all under $50!!

Another must-have for me is a comfortable shoe. If you're a mama then you can totally relate. Sure, I love a fun strappy heel for going out or for special occasions, but during the summer I love a good flat or wedge sandal. These espadrilles don’t even feel like you’re wearing a wedge – they’re so comfy. Their nude too, so they can be worn with just about anything.

I finished off my look with my go-to sunnies as of late (they’re Linda Farrow from Ditto.com/endless and I think they’re so glam), a vintage necklace (that matches perfectly with this dress), and a fun fringe bag (also from Misred Oufitters). I own way too many fringe bags to count, but I think they’re the perfect bag when you want to add a little boho flare to your look.

My pretty statement ring was created by a designer by the name of Emilie Shapiro. She’s a trained metalsmith who uses contemporary techniques and experimentation when creating her jewelry. She mainly works with recycled silver, bronze, nickel-free brass and copper, but she also incorporates beautiful gemstones. Before she started her own jewelry line she worked as the Production Manager for Pamela Love (another jewelry brand I love) and Allforthemountain. I love how unique this “Waterfall Ring” is, and the colors are so beautiful.

This ring is available for purchase on Uncommon Goods, a website that celebrates emerging designers, whether they’re just introducing their work, working collaboratively in a low income country, or are seasoned and crafting each piece by hand. They sell everything from art to jewelry pieces, to items for your kitchen and other unique gifts perfect for weddings as presents for your bridesmaids, or as the perfect gift for a birthday. It’s an online marketplace to discover new and unique products and to connect with the stories behind them. Uncommon Goods is big on sustainability as well. They work with artists who use sustainable or recycled materials, and they choose environmentally friendly packing materials (which is awesome). Also pretty cool that the entire business operates out of the historic Brooklyn Army Terminal on the scenic Upper Bay in Sunset Park. Uncommong Goods created the Better to Give program, which allows customers to choose a partner for UG to donate $1 to with every order.
