Long Overdue For a Refresh

It is hard for me to believe it has been almost a year since I have really spent a good amount of time on my blog – reworking and refreshing pages. I fully intended to get back to this space with consistency shortly after Augie was born and I just didn’t make it happen the way I envisioned. I realized almost all of my shop pages had not been touched since last summer and most of the links were expired or broken. Also the HJ Home Shop has taken a bit of a backseat, but I have started sourcing again and I am looking forward to having more consistent releases. Obviously my life is much busier than it once was, juggling my design business and a baby, but I still love this space SO much and feel like it is my outlet to share my current favorite findings and inspirations. I have no intention of starting a Substack, so the blog will always be my home and I am really excited to FINALLY get back into a groove. I truly can’t thank you all enough for sticking with me this past year and still visiting the site and sending questions my way.

I love this community and it means the world to me that something I do may inspire you in some small way. Besides just updating the shop pages and continuing to share links, I am looking forward to getting back to sharing actual blog posts as well – and not just one every other month. Please let me know if there is anything specific you want to see. I was also thinking about starting a new series where you send in a design question or issue you are dealing with it and I answer in a post. I get a lot of these whenever I open up my Instagram Q&A and it can be really hard to share my answer in enough detail with the limited space. So feel free to comment below or send me a message. I am so excited about this new chapter for Harlowe James and thank you for being here!

New Around Here

Amazon Storefront: It only took me eight years, but I finally started an Amazon Storefront. I know there are mixed feelings about Amazon, but since many of us (myself included) do end up buying a lot of our essentials from there I decided it was time to make a storefront. I tend to buy a lot for Augie on there, so you can find those suggestions under “Baby”. I also added everything to a tab on ShopMy if that is easier for you to search through. My bag pictured above is a total The Row dupe on Amazon and I love it!

Discount Codes: As I work with more brands, I get more discount codes to share with all of you. I realized there was no home to quickly access them, so I made a page for easy reference. I will continue to update as I get more.

Shop My Instagram: I do know some of you have left Instagram for good (which is great for mental health!) I have pretty much moved away from LTK, so now you can easily shop my Instagram posts and stories here. I try and add in real time so they are more up to date. This makes it easy to see each post and product without ever having to go through Instagram.

Shop Pages: The Shop Pages have gotten a total overhaul and all of the old links are gone! I updated almost every one (still a few more to go), but you can find everything from beauty products to pillows. Just remember to click the category dropdown menu on the lefthand side to access more options. Home Decor has a few different subcategories, so under Accessories you will find even more options broken down (trays, baskets, etc.). I will be adding to my Shop Pages weekly like I used to do and the newest additions will always be on each landing page. My Apartment has so many sections, I did a landing page, but if you scroll to the bottom and click “see more” it will take you to my ShopMy with everything broken down by room. I tried to keep this super organized, so hopefully it is easy to navigate.

Tent Sale: Last thing of note, the Weston Table tent sale is going on and there are still some pieces left from Sabre (my favorite flatware), Staub and Farmhouse Pottery. Theses pieces are priced SO well at 40% off so a great time to take advantage! Just use code TENTEVENT at checkout.
