source I have such a big design crush on South African based designer Gregory Mellor because his use of materiality is unparalleled. The way he combines pattern, texture, wood tones and design styles appears so seamless and in turn creates incredibly layered and thoughtful spaces. I am always so impressed by designers that have the […]

I like just about every dessert with raspberries and pastry cream, so these simple pastry tarts have become one of my go to’s. Working with a rough puff (a la The Great British Baking Show) is so much easier and less time consuming than a classic pastry dough. The best part about this dessert – […]

This week I am feeling so inspired by textures. The beautiful texture of flowers, a wide open field I just want to lay in and pattern on pattern. In the summertime especially I love textured accents in my wardrobe and home. I have been living in these slides -the perfect summer accent (15% off code […]

01. No matter the time of year, I am almost always cold so I love a perfect summer sweater. This Jenni Kayne option is absolutely perfect! I tend to prefer a button up with dresses opposed to pull overs, so this is great to take with you or drape over your shoulders to go from […]

Ah, now that life is headed in a more normal direction – wedding season is in full swing. I was so happy to celebrate my best friends wedding over the weekend, but admittedly was so out of practice with putting nice gifts together. With three showers under my belt this year and more weddings on […]

With summer in the air, I am all about breezy fabrics, spending time outside and making some of my favorite summertime dishes. I am so happy that peony season seems to be lasting longer than normal so I keep stocking up on fragrant bunches at Trader Joe’s. There is just something about those flowers that […]

I have always had a real weakness for a pretty striped chair. There is something about the eternally classic look that seems to be the perfect accent in just about any room. Custom patterned chairs can be incredibly expensive and I don’t often find a lot of ready made pattern options that I love online. […]
