a swoon worthy summer table setting

July 5, 2016

There aren’t many color combinations I love as much as blue and white, but navy and blush come in at a very close second (it was the original inspiration behind Lydia’s nursery when I was in the planning stages and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since!)  So, when I stumbled upon this summer dinner…

a red, white and blue table for the 4th

June 28, 2016

July 4th is right around the corner (can you believe it?!) but I’ve had red, white and blue on the brain for a while now.  While I typically don’t ever gravitate toward red in my decor or design, I love it in a muted shade to accompany classic blue and white for summer and, especially,…

3 amazing summer salads

June 21, 2016

It’s been HOT in our neck of the woods lately and I’ve been craving cold, crunchy fruits and veggies something fierce, so to kick off the first official day of summer (a day late, of course, because that’s how I roll these days!) I thought I’d share three of my favorite, go-to salads that have…

favorite beach prints from one kings lane

June 1, 2016

Lauren Soloff via Domino Summer is in full swing around here and we’ve got the heat and humidity to prove it.  I have missed living five minutes from the beach ever since we moved two and a half hours inland when the hubs was transfered, but I especially get nostalgic right around this time of…

May 10, 2016

Just when I finally decide to take the plunge and repaint my black exterior doors and shutters NAVY BLUE, I end up falling in love with black and white all over again for summer.  You just can’t beat the combination for summer, especially when paired with lots of seagrass, bamboo and fresh greenery.  Here are…

entertaining with aerin

August 24, 2015

I never grow tired of glimpses of Aerin Lauder’s Southampton home; the grounds and outdoor living areas are among my favorites, so I was especially excited to see that she recently hosted a poolside luncheon to celebrate the launch of one of her new frangrances, photos of which were captured by Garance Dore.  Like her…

August 13, 2015

If you haven’t been over to Wisteria in a while, you have got to head over and take a peek!  I’ve been such a fan for years and have sourced quite a few things for clients and blog posts (their oversize clam shell seems to make an appearance in every inspiration board lately – and…

for the love of bamboo

July 15, 2015

Happy Hump Day!  We’ve made it halfway through the week and to celebrate, I thought I’d share some more home decor items that I’m loving lately.  This is more of an extension of Monday’s post in which I talked about natural and woven decor items, but this time focusing on beautiful bamboo!  Whether it’s faux,…

natural wonder

July 13, 2015

I don’t know about you guys, but these hot summer months always have me itching to paint my entire house bright white and fill it with nothing but seagrass, sisal, raffia, jute, rattan and wicker goodness with a little capiz shell, chunks of coral and black agate sprinkled in for good measure.  For me, it’s…

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th!  I picked up a new candle over the weekend and have been burning it nonstop, as it reminds me of lazy days spent on the beach, so I thought it would be fun to share some other summer scents I’m loving lately!  I love to layer beautifully…
