summer goodies at c wonder!

August 7, 2014

Navy and white is the quintessential color combination for summer (clearly, since it’s been the topic of many a blog post of mine lately!)  Dress it up with a little bling and some gold or create a more casual vibe with stripes and natural textures like seagrass and wicker.  C Wonder is one of my…

loving lately: blue+ white + lots of texture

August 6, 2014

orange crush

June 12, 2013

Lately, I’ve found myself gravitating toward the most beautiful shades of orange…nail polish, dresses, bedding, pillows, even the different types of fruits and veggies at the farmer’s market.
