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 […]
Maybe it’s the graphic designer in me but I like a simple clean grid pattern. Here are a few that you can wear and decorate or dine with. 1: Zipline Skirt from Madewell // 2: Pillow Shams from Target // 3: Grid Washi Tape from The Hach // 4: Mormor Dinnerware designed by Gry Fager […]
This weekend we spent some time catching up on things around the house and took a few breaks to enjoy the fall weather, that feels like summer, in LA by taking the dogs on a good hike. It was much appreciated by our little furry kids. Image from my Instagram
Rupert and I had fun running around on our rooftop for this style post. Pikku even jumped the glass fence to make a little cameo. Little stinker! Leather panel leggings from TopShop // Dotted Sweater from Whistles // Fuchsia top from Madewell // Shoes from Michael Kors // Bangles from Voz
I admit that I totally judged this book by its cover, but in a good way… The great illustration and hand lettering (design done by Fraser Muggeridge Studio) immediately drew me in and then the words (written by Jonas Jonasson) kept me interested. I am a little more than halfway through it now and am really enjoying […]
So excited to share our Los Angeles home over on Design*Sponge today!!! Check it out here! I have spent so much time posting about our cabin that I realized I have never shared any of our home! So, here are a few of my favorite shots of our space and head over to Design*Sponge to see […]
Rupert and I love a little road trip down the coast and this weekend we got be guests at the highly anticipated wedding of our friends, Amanda & Tim, down in San Clemente… so it was definitely a win win situation. Amanda looked seriously gorgeous (was there ever any doubt?) and every single detail of the […]
I don’t know what it is about foxes, but they are so freaking adorable. Aubin & Wills have always supplied me with some fox love (you can see their foxy tea towels in my cabin kitchen here) and even though I am cheating with including Henry the Fox in the round up (since he isn’t exactly […]
Here is a look at the new marble tile freshly installed… just needs grout! We also painted the little air vent grate thingies white to match the rest of the fireplace, which kind of disguises them better, but I wouldn’t mind finding new ones all together. Another new addition that we picked up at a nearby […]
This dress that I wore for Margot’s (Rupert’s sister) English wedding has turned out to be one of my all time favorite dresses. Yes, I think it even tops my wedding dress! Pretty much everything about it suited me perfectly. The print, the cut, the light and flowy feel of the silk and how it […]
This weekend we had our first local wedding of the bunch that took place at the Annenberg Beach House in Santa Monica. It is always fun seeing a couples style through their wedding and this one was beautifully modern, festive, fun and very relaxed. Images from my instagram feed.
I’m getting back into the swing of things in LA. So, although a few days late, here is a look at my whirlwind month of August through my instagram feed. A few of my favorite highlights were, my best friend’s wedding, the time we spent at the cabin with late night walks on the beach […]
Creating a pattern of butterflies can be tricky business to get to look sophisticated instead of juvenile. They can go too cutesie too quickly but when I saw this dress I knew there were some butterfly patterns out there that actually capture the natural beauty of the creature. Here are a few that I think accomplish […]
It is still major wedding season for me over here as I am halfway through a stretch of four back to back weekends with weddings and with our anniversary just passing as well, love is definitely in the air. While I am in the thick of all the mushy gushy-ness, I thought I would share […]
We spent this weekend taking a little road trip around southern England that included a night at Amberley Castle for Rupert’s sisters wedding. It was an elegant and classically English affair in a fairy tale setting. Images from my Instagram feed… you can see more photos of the night here.
We made it over to England this morning and our first stop was to visit Rupert’s family’s farm and to see his granny, grandpa, aunt, and uncle. The farm grows a variety of herbs and plants that are then distilled to make essential oils and the grounds are beeeaaaaautiful. Taking a walk in the rain […]
