If you’ve been following along on our home renovation, you know that we’ve had to do (and are still doing) A LOT to make the space our own. Luckily for me, the new studio space was almost move-in ready. So far, all we’ve had to do was paint the floors twice, build some shelving and bring in […]
My search for the perfect dresser ended with a big heeeeeell yes! Quality dressers are SO expensive and even not so great quality dressers usually cost more than I wanted to spend and when I find myself in that predicament (which I much too often do) I turned my search to vintage. I started googling […]
Anthropologie sent me these beautiful pants from their colorful line of Hyphen Chinos just in time for our trip to Miami and they quickly became a staple in my travel wardrobe. I picked the “candied ginger” colorway, which happens to be my latest hue obsession. You may also recognize it from my new studio floors… CAN NOT […]
I am embarrassingly still not quite settled in the new studio (although it is doing better then the house right now), but these shelves I put up are helping A TON. I needed some organization in my life more than I can express (If you are remembering the corners of the house that I kind […]
I’m so excited to announce that I am teaming up with one of my favorite brands, Madewell, to host an event next week! We will be celebrating the Santa Monica location’s 1 year Anniversary and the launch of their new Spring Collection. We’ll have sips and sweets, a special in-store discount, as well as a […]
2013 has been a wild ride! Here’s a round-up of Smitten Studio’s top 10 posts this year. 1. The launch of my line A Sunny Afternoon definitely takes the cake as one of the top moments of the year. See the original post here. 2. We finished work on the cabin (well, for now at least) […]
Here’s the first peek into my new studio! Until recently it has been filled with moving boxes, with the exception of where I carved out a small corner for my computer desk (a glance in here last week and you would swear I was a hoarder), but I have slowly cleared it out so that […]
Before I get to showing you the kitchen demolition we did over the weekend with my parents I want to catch up on the new flooring and how we finished opening up the kitchen. Here is where we left off with the layers and layers of old kitchen flooring coming up and the rough holes […]
1st Dibs recently asked me to be a part of their “Saturday Shopper” campaign on their site and I jumped at the chance to be able to curate my top picks from their huge selection of extra special pieces. I put together my dream list of unique items with our new house in mind. Every […]
Did you guys get a chance to see my Style at Home feature over on Glitter Guide yesterday? I was so happy when they asked me to participate because I knew that we were moving soon and I thought it would be a great way to say goodbye to the house. Of course I have […]
What a month… here is a look at what I have been up to lately. A few of the highlights were getting to work on a couple photo shoots with some talented people and seriously awesome animals (I got to hang with Zebras and Alpaca!), working on and celebrating my dear friends wedding, and having […]
Here is a better look at the shelving we made in the kitchen. Yay for all the extra storage space! If you remember from the before photos originally the kitchen only had open shelving as the above counter storage. We knew we wanted to bring some of that back into the kitchen so here is how […]
I’ve been on the hunt for a good statement necklace for quite a while now… you know the kind you can wear with a plain t-shirt and it instantly makes you feel put together? Well, I may have let out a little shriek when I received this one in the mail from 31 Bits… mission […]

Here’s a look at what I’ve been up to lately via instagram. We left New Zealand, celebrated Rupe’s birthday, hosted the Fancy Paws charity event, had house guests two of the four weekends, flew to Chicago, worked on the cabin, made some goods in the workshop, and had Easter with my parents. I’d say it was […]
We decided to stay up in the north island this trip so that we didn’t feel too rushed trying to fit everything into one visit (which also means we have a really good excuse to return for the south island). As it went, we still managed to stay in a different place every night and […]
