PRETTY FALL FINDS FOR HOME + CLOSET
It’s hard to believe that the first official day of fall is next week already, but here we are, roasting in heat and humidity while I pore over wool coats and fun new sneakers to wear into the ground. For me, the change in the seasons is all about texture, natural materials and lots of…
HALLOWEEN DECOR, BUT MAKE IT CUTE
It’s still way too early for me to start decorating for Halloween, but if my kiddos had their way, the house would have been ready for the holiday weeks ago. I like to keep the decor simple – black twist taper candles in my grandmother’s silver candlesticks, homemade mummy candle holders the kids made a…
SEPTEMBER FINDS
As much as I hate to see summer come to a close, I always love the month of September, as the warmer temps still linger a bit longer but the evenings start to get just the teensiest bit chilly. There are a few things I like to do to usher in the change in seasons…
HOW TO DRY LIMELIGHT HYDRANGEAS
One of my favorite ways to transition to the fall inside my home is with limelight hydrangeas on every surface. While I can make hydrangeas last up to three weeks in most cases (see how here), I like to dry limelights when fall rolls around because not only do they last longer, but as they…
SEPTEMBER (p)INSPIRATION
I can’t believe we are already a few days into September, but despite the inevitable move to another change in seasons, however slowly, my pins are still reflecting summer in all its glory. A color palette of deep greens, navy and ivory, lots of silvered cedar shake beauties, the Amalfi coast and beautiful millwork and…
LATE SUMMER FAVORITES
I am a perpetual summer girl, through and through, so there won’t be any Fall content on the blog anytime soon, HOWEVER…..there are a few things on my radar right now that will effortlessly transition with the change in seasons in a few months (for us, at least). Below is a roundup of some pretties…
THE BEST CAESAR SALAD DRESSING RECIPE
I’ve been slacking on blog posts lately, as is always the case in the summer when the kiddos are out of school, but it’s a new year and I’m slowly but surely easing back into posting; what better way than to start with a super simple, but incredibly flavorful recipe? My mom used to make…
HIGH SUMMER FAVORITES
This has been such a laid back, casual summer that we have all needed so badly; we’ve been living in the pool, reading lots of books, watching movies and just generally giving ourselves the time to be bored – a luxury we don’t always have during the school year. And while I typically don’t give…
ANTIQUED HYDRANGEAS + A SIMPLE SUMMER TABLE SETTING
One of the best things about growing your own hydrangeas is that, by changing the pH of the soil, you can also change the color of your blooms from blue to pink and vice versa. Down here in the south, come late August and into September, my blue hydrangeas turn a showstopping combination of green,…
JULY (p)INSPIRATION
If you’re following along on Pinterest, there is no doubt where my mind is currently….most, if not all, of my recent saves have been of perches with a bird’s eye view of the sea, beautiful, silvered cedar shakes and quite a few shots of the Italian coast. I’m so inspired by all the shades of…
LOVING LATELY: BLACK SUNDRESSES FOR SUMMER
While I’m always partial to a white summer dress (eyelet, preferably), lately all but one of the dresses I’ve bought this summer have been black. I love a black sundress with leather Grecian sandals and a textured tote bag or clutch for a simple, laid back but elegant vibe that can easily go from running…
FIVE RECIPES TO TRY RIGHT NOW
Summer is always my favorite time to try new recipes, but this year, I feel like I am still decompressing from the school year and so, I’m craving simple meals with easy sides that can be made quickly. Today I’m sharing three sides, a dessert and my favorite, no-knead bread recipe, all of which are…
