No, I’m not talking about the fabulously witty and gritty blog of my girl Miss Lizzy Marie.
I’m also not making reference to any quotes made by the Real Housewives of Atlanta – though I do miss them and their hilarious {and slightly more upbeat} shenanigans. The New York edition Kelly Bensimon (and the “Countess,” and Jill Zarin – now that I think about it) is starting to become just too much for me.
Nope – we’re talking basket weave here. You know – all of that gorgeous crochet you’ve been seeing everywhere, ever since Karl first showcased the trend in the Chanel Spring 2010 RTW Collection. Now, I’m not necessarily a country girl, but there was something so sweet and coquettish about that whole barnyard chic scene – and we can’t possibly forget about those fabulous clogs. Months later, the knit-stitch trend has found its way into the mainstream, looking anything but.

I can’t decide which top I need more between the Alice + Olivia and the 3.1 Phillip Lim – both brought something so beyond fresh to the trend. And I’m slightly obsessed with this line of cover ups – sheer perfection, literally. I was pleasantly surprised to see crochet take form in the Tory Burch flats, and if you’re looking for the perfect summer tote, look no further – these beach-worthy bags come in every color of the rainbow and ring in at less than $100 a pop.
the alice and olivia top is by far the freshest!! i can honestly say ive never seen anything like it. super cute.
I had to keep reading after you mentioned my bloggy bestie Miss Liz! I think I need that F21 cami in a bad way!
oh these are gorgeous! pretty crochet pieces

Those are all fantastic. Not sure which is my favorite. Hope you’re having a great week.
There goes my paycheck! I literally need four of these items immediately – love crochet detailing!!
When I was a little slimmer…I would have run out to get these fashions. Now, I’m careful not to make a fool out of myself. Doesn’t mean I can’t be happy for those who can stylishly wear them
Nice post, Claudia
that alice and olivia is to die for
omg i want those tory burch flats asap! thanks for giving me something new to covet
