I have been searching for these gingham Mary Jane’s ever since I spotted them on Frannie Gilligan several months ago. Thankfully, these Italian Drogheria Crivellini Mary Jane flats just arrived at Clare V. check them out here. Also, fresh off the press is this chic Clare V. tie dye set (here & here), and this candy stripe puff sleeve midi from & Other Stories (so cute!). As we head into the weekend I’d love to lounge in these super soft Free City sweats, AG muscle tank, and take a stroll in these Kahru sneakers. Happy weekend everyone! XX
