friday's fancies #36.

It's finally Friday, which means just one thing here on {long distance loving}: Friday's Fancies!
I get so excited for Friday to roll around, especially when it means I get to see all of your beautiful
posts rolling in from around the globe. Each week, I get to see creativity at work--and I love it :)

This week, I wanted to pay homage to a true summer staple: the maxi dress. Though summer is speeding by, I knew we needed to appropriately highlight the maxi before we have to throw the
layers on this autumn. Here's how I would maxi{mize} my summer if money were no object...

1) I really need to just ante up and buy these Kendra Scott "I Do" Carly Botanical Stud Earrings. Since I have little earlobes, I am a big fan of fun studs and these ones definitely fit the bill!

2) This Sunner Florent Maxi Dress reminded me of dresses I saw my very stylish mother sporting in photos from the '70s. The beautiful purple color and the elegant waistline called my name from the get-go. I can admit I've never rocked the maxi, but this dress makes me want to take the plunge.

3) It's only been a few weeks since I featured that dreamy Missoni candle in my Friday's Fancies, so it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that I'm featuring this gorgeous Missoni Woven-Knit and Chain Bracelet. {I adore Missoni...sigh.} I loved all the different textures and colors in the bracelet and thought it would be the perfect piece to tie this whole outfit together.

4) I don't know where I first fell head over heels for monograms, but this West Avenue Jewelry Monogram Necklace feeds my addiction. I wear a monogram pendant almost every day, but it belonged to my grandmother, so the monogram has a few incorrect letters ;) I think this necklace would be a great way to showcase my {newer} initials.

5) If you've been following {long distance loving} for long, it should come as no surprise that I adore Kate Spade. This Five Points Camille provides storage and sass, which is just my style.

6) Christian Louboutin makes some gorgeous pumps, but when I saw these Delfin Espadrille Wedges, I had to smile. My feet also wouldn't suffer from his signature high heels, so I would say they are a gloriously feminine take on the wedge.
