Summer Toile

[music: Chicago by Sufjan Stevens]

I have an obsession: toile. I always loved toile (it's gorgeous, how can you not!) but I finally found out what it was called and now I can't get enough! I don't own a lot of toile - only one pair of black toile flats - but these are some wonderful toile pieces I found!


These two strapless dresses (left, $69.95 USD at Anthropologie; right, $69.99 USD at Ann Taylor) are very fresh and great for dressy summer events. The black and white toile is a bit more formal while the red is playful but still dressed-up.


These two pieces combine a casual style with black toile. The dress (left, $112 USD by Torn from ShopBop) incorporates a bubble hem but I don't like the way it's all put together. The sweater ($134 USD by Torn from ShopBop) is very cute - toile is definitely not a pattern you often see on hoodies!


Old Navy's jumped on the toile bandwagon, as well! The shorts (left, $26.50 USD from Old Navy) use a khaki toile which is a much more natural color. The flats (right, $19.50 USD from Old Navy) come in a few colors and both of these options are easy to wear and inexpensive.


I am absolutely in love with these flats ($237.00 USD by Dior from eLuxury)! The bows, the charms, the toile - it's all so perfect!

I apologize for the template - it's a bit of a wreck right now as I'm 'remodeling'. This is my last week of school and exams finish the week after that so hopefully I'll be able to find much more time to blog!
