Things are changing around here! I have some exciting projects in the works and with all that comes a shift in priorities. In the past I have been pretty good about balancing my work/home life but things have gotten busier around here lately so I have decided to switch things up a bit. Starting very […]
This week’s pattern spy is for all you equestrian lovers out there. I have had my eye on this gorgeous stationery set from Rifle Paper for a while now, and thought it would be a great anchor for a horse themed round-up. So, here it is… go buck wild! (har har) 1: Horse Mini Skirt from […]
I made my way back from the cabin on Friday, just in time for a lovely weekend back home in LA. I had a really great brunch on Saturday with some talented & creative ladies (Anna, Kendra, Amanda & Lauren… were so much fun). Then we all met up again at the Rifle Paper event […]
Take a peek over at Pulp Design Studio’s blog today to see a fun little feature that Catherine and I took part in. They had us each create a virtual entry way for the fall season. Here were my picks. I put together my round up with our cabin in mind (if the cabin had […]
I finished (& loved) the last book I read and then passed it on to my husband who now says it is one of his favorite reads (you can get the details here). So now I started re-reading a favorite book of mine for the second time called The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. If […]
Friday afternoon we made it to the cabin and we’ve spent the entire weekend reveling in the fall colors and taking long walks in the crisp cool air. I haven’t been able to experience a proper autumn like this in years, so we are soaking up every second of it. Images from my instagram feed. […]
We are heading back to the cabin this week and I can not wait! Last trip we were finally able to sleep in a real bed instead of on the floor… and better yet, the bedroom no longer functions as a storage room for all of the construction materials. So, here is the current status […]
This round up was inspired by the black floral jeans I wore here. The deep jewel toned colors of all these florals combined with their black backgrounds are giving me some great ideas of how to keep floral prints going through the fall. 1: Skirt by Oasis from Asos // 2: Hanging Floral Centerpiece by Amy […]
So, I know this outfit doesn’t scream fall, or even give a hint of it for that matter, but when it is 90 degrees and you are attending a southern California wedding, this is the dress I pulled out. This twirl inducing number from Aqua by Aqua was perfect for the occasion. Floyd dress in […]
This weekend Rupe and I were both under the weather fighting off something, so we were pretty sofa and bed bound for most of it. Friday however, we were able to enjoy one of our favorite neighborhood spots with friends which lasted from an early happy hour to long into the night. Image from my […]
September was another event filled month that included 3 weddings, 2 California weekend getaways, and a trip to England. Our Los Angeles home was also featured on Design*Sponge this month which you can check out here… and while the weather hasn’t felt much like fall around here, I am definitely feeling the season of change. […]
Screen doors aren’t exactly a design feature, I know, but when it is 90 something degrees outside, no air conditioning in sight, and more mosquitos then sand on the beach, they are something of a necessity. Also, what is a summer cabin without the slap of a screen door? As soon as we got these […]
This freaking adorable Kate Spade dress was my easy favorite from their upcoming Spring 2013 collection and while I was reminiscing about my 30th birthday over the weekend I remembered how I used men’s bow ties as napkin holders/party favors which kinda made me wish I had that dress at the time! … or maybe […]
This weekend’s trip to Palm Springs turned out to be as motivating and inspirational as it was relaxing. While at the Ace Hotel I got a chance to meet so many creative ladies that I am online or instagram friends with but had never met in person, and was also introduced to new ones that […]
I’m so happy to be heading out to Palm Springs tonight for a little R&R weekend in the sun. The last time I was there was for my 30th birthday where these gold flamingos stole the show… and these guys do get around! They also more recently made a cameo appearance at Amanda’s Bridal Shower […]
Here is the current state of the kitchen… we are getting close to being done now! A few new things we have accomplished since the last update are: 1. The subway tile backsplash is up and ready to be grouted 2. We put on all the cabinet hardware To see the sources for all of […]
