Picking out the perfect gift for the favorite fella in your life can be a daunting task—it has to be unexpected, and I don’t know about you, but when it comes to buying for my hubby, there always has to be a practical factor too. We scoured our favorite shops to assemble a lineup of […]

Monochromatic Monday :: Sheer Elegance

There’s just something about sheer, featherweight textiles that illustrates elegance in the most simple way. And with spring right around the corner, these sweet fabrics and frocks are certainly top of mind (along with the vision of gentle beams of sunlight making their way through sheer draperies…) Picture that special set of lace-y lingerie or […]

10 Best DIY Valentines

Valentine’s Day never fails to make me think of my Uncle Tommy.

Monochromatic Monday :: A Boho Home

We all love a gorgeous, well-designed space — a home where every detail is thoughtful, intentional and purposeful, and not a single item appears to be out of place. But then there’s the opposite — you know, those spaces that look effortlessly unpredictable and anything but “designed”. In those homes, great style appears to have […]

Transformed :: Our New Studio Space!

I’ve mentioned here a few times that we’re currently renovating a new space that will become our studio and office in a couple of weeks! There’s nothing more exciting than seeing it all come together — wood floors down, lighting installed and marble for the kitchen arriving this week. I’m so lucky to have been able […]
