FASHION 17 Summer Fashion Finds

// pink embroidered lobster dress // green shirt with tiny golfers //
I may or may not have mentioned it before, but I love reality television.
I watch it all.
The Real Housewives of Everywhere.
Survivor.
Amazing Race.
And one of my favorites that I’ve watched for years, Southern Charm.
Have you ever watched it? It’s about a group of friends (they’ve changed over the years) who live in Charleston. There’s drama and conversation and love stories and break-ups and big personalities.
And one of the biggest personalities? Craig Conover. I’ve followed him on the show for years. He went to law school and then pivoted and started sewing pillows. And then? He turned those pillows into a thriving business called Sewing Down South.
And now?
He has an amazing collaboration with one of my other favorite brands that I’ve worn (and shared here on the blog) for years. It’s called Crown and Ivy. I think I sent the universe 10 zillion exclamation points when I saw that Craig and Crown and Ivy were releasing a limited collection. The collection features men’s and women’s clothing and home decor pieces (including the CUTEST blue and white patterned oven mitts).
Simply put, the collection is one of my favorites I’ve ever shared (just look at the lobsters on my dress).
And in amazing news? There’s a GIANT SALE going on right now. Most of the pieces are 50% off right now with the code SUMMER2SAVE.
You can see the collection here.


// pink embroidered lobster dress // green shirt with tiny golfers //
I wanted to start with my dress.
It’s SUCH high quality and has the cutest print. It’s kind of perfect for summer with lobsters and shells and crabs with embroidery at the hem and the top of the dress.
The dress runs really large (I’m wearing a small), so I’d size down.
You can see the dress here.
My husband’s shirt is the find of the century. It’s under $25 and comes in three different patterns. It fits true to size and he’s wearing a medium.
His shirt is green with tiny golfers all over it.
It also comes in navy with little martini glasses all over it.
And the third pattern in the men’s shirt is pink with pickleballs all over it.

The collection also has the PRETTIEST home decor pieces.
I took a few of my favorites and styled them on the porch.
There are the prettiest scalloped placemats with coordinating scalloped napkins.

I just took jute twine and tied off the napkins and then added a shell.
But the collection does have the cutest napkin rings.
There’s a lobster and crab and shell and leaf.
You can see them here.

// blue and white oven mitts //
I ordered the cutest blue and white oven mitts.
Just look at that pattern.
They come in two different sizes and they are 50% off today. I’ll photograph them in my kitchen when I get home.
You can see the mitts here.

// fish dishtowel //
There’s also the cutest coastal dish towels.
They come in a set of two (and they are 50% off, too).
I got the fish–you can see them here.
There’s also an octopus dish towel set and a crab dish towel set and a lobster dish towel set.
You can see them all here.


//two-piece pink medallion top // two-piece pink medallion pants //
I also found a few other Crown and Ivy pieces that are on 50% off sale right now.
Look at this set.
Isn’t it the cutest?
It has the prettiest pattern with pink medallions. The top is an a-line cut and loosely fitted at the bottom. The pants have a buttoned waistband and pockets. They both run true to size. I’m wearing a small and I didn’t hem the pants, so they will be cropped if you are taller.
You can see the medallion top here.
You can see the medallion pants here.

// sleeveless dress //
Here’s the same pattern in a sleeveless dress.
I LOVE the cut of this dress. The arms are cut so they flatter your arms and the arm holes aren’t overly large so they had your bra.
The dress has pockets and runs true to size. There’s a button closure in the back.
I’m wearing a small and the material is a linen cotton feel.
You can see the dress here.

// blue and pink swing top // blue pants (similar)//
Here’s another top and pants.
I found the top and was looking for pants and found some that are a similar color.
The top runs large with the prettiest swing cut. I’m wearing a small.
You can see the blue and pink swing top here.
Here are some more of my favorite pieces from the collection.

I remember telling you about Crown and Ivy collection at Belk several years ago… such a great value, excellent quality and so many cute pieces! Now look at the variety! And you, my friend, are the perfect model and spokesperson! So glad you’re having so much fun on your vacation too! You’ve earned it!

We don’t watch tv at all so I haven’t seen it, of course – but if your adorable selves are any indication of the collection – well, it’s a winner! That’s cute stuff. And those oven mitts? I think they designed them JUST for YOU!!!!

My daughter and I discovered Crown and Ivy in Florida last year and love the line. I also love the shell napkin holder. Did you just stuff the napkin in?? I have SOOO many of these shells.

Hi, I bought the lobster dress from Belk when I saw Kari Clark model it. She called the print Sea Bugs. I love it, I live in FL and I love seafood so it’s right up my alley! Did you notice the Sewing down South signature printed into the fabric design? Quality-made in the USA! You both look so cute in your SDS duds!
