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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
LOVING LATELY
We are loving being on summer schedule, with nowhere to be and nothing to be doing, with the exception of baseball and swim practice a couple times a week, which leaves all the pool and quiet time that we don’t have during the schoolyear. Of course, I am loving every minute of this much-needed downtime…
FRIDAY FIVE
After an entire week of rain and thunderstorms, I’m so ready for some sunshine and pool time this weekend! Time has been flying faster than ever lately and this week has been no exception. I’m looking forward to some much-needed, low key family time, game night and movie night and trying a few new recipes.…
MAY (p)INSPIRATION
One more week until school is officially out, and while we still have quite a few activities to get through, my mind is already on slow summer days, thanks to my Pinterest scrolling as of late. Lots of silvered cedar shakes, beautiful architectural details, vintage Broncos and gauzy linens are floating through my feed and…
LOVING LATELY
For someone who has always gravitated toward all shades of blues and grays, this time of year, I always crave more green – especially when paired with lots of texture, glass and linen for a sophisticated but approachable seasonal change. Wicker chandelier shades, burl wood picture frames, iraca baskets, beautiful ridged glassware and tortoise side…
FRIDAY FIVE
Happy Friday! Climbing out from under a mountain of laundry and taking a break from vacuuming up the two tons of dog fur that seem to accumulate every 24 hours to share a few finds I’m loving from this week! We opened the pool last weekend and so I’m feeling all the summer things –…
VASE ROUNDUP FOR SPRING + SUMMER BLOOMS
We are anxiously awaiting all the gomphrena, cosmos, zinnia and dahlias we planted a few weeks back to bloom and for every surface to soon be covered with handfuls of blooms all summer long! When it comes to displaying them, I like to use simple vessels to keep the focus on the blooms, usually preferring…
