STYLE AT HOME
The owners of this home lived in Paris for ten years before relocating to Vancouver. I adore the white foundation with pops of — you guessed it! — pink and navy so I decided to pull a few pieces from my boutique to show you how to get the look chez vous… (1) Monkey candlesticks (2) Horn sculpture (3) Moroccan […]
SUMMER PICNIC
I’m not sure how I’ve only just discovered The Cherry Blossom Girl but it’s instantly become one of my daily reads. The Paris-based Alix has some of the prettiest outfit pictures I’ve ever seen and her snapshots of the city remind me of my semester abroad in France. How stunning are these photos taken in […]
HUGE FAVOR!
I hate to beg for favors here especially when you’ve all been so supportive of my newest venture but some opportunities are worth it! My family and I are huge fans of the show Shark Tank during which entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to a panel of successful venture capitalists. Shopify, the company that powers my […]

Cali boatneck (3) Ban.do ostrich pouf (4) Loren Hope turquoise earrings — a summer must-have! (5) ASOS pink heels (6) Loeffler Randall knot sandals (7) Baggu reusable shopping bag […]
SLIM AARONS PHOTOGRAPHY
I’ve been coveting several of his books for a long time so it was a nice surprise to stumble upon an online gallery showcasing the work of photographer Slim Aarons. I’ll continue to dream of investing in one of his prints but in the mean time here’s a little eye candy for us all to […]
BOOK WORM
My collection of coffee table books is growing by the pile thanks to insane discounts and impulse buys on Joss & Main and One Kings Lane. I tend to check out novels and other less decorative reads from my local library but these spaces from Lonny have me wanting to expand my book collection in every […]
INTRODUCING KLURY
I have a friend who swears by the “something in, something out” rule as it pertains to her wardrobe. Before she splurges on something new, something else has to be donated, sold, or tossed! It’s a great way of editing your wardrobe to reflect what you love right now and weeding through the clutter of […]
SPARROW NEST SCRIPT
Lately I cannot get enough of Etsy. I could spend hours scouring new-to-me shops, bookmarking favorite items, and adding new people to my “circles.” There is so much talent out there and I’m constantly discovering something else to love! You already know about my infatuation with calligraphy so imagine my delight in discovering the darling […]

PAJAMA PARTY
Aren’t Sundays the best? At least when they’re followed by a Monday off 😉 I’d like to be lounging around in this… Super cute and totally comfy. And am I crazy to say that I’d roll up the sleeves and wear this as a beach cover-up as well? Get yours here and have a wonderful Sunday! […]
HOW TO DECORATE A SMALL SPACE
…I’d say that’s a pretty fair assessment of this apartment tour published a couple years ago in Traditional Home. The decorating process was a collaboration between mother-and-daughter team Suzanne and Lauren McGrath. Lauren’s first apartment called for decorating on a budget in a small space, a reality to which most of us can relate! I love […]
WEEK IN REVIEW
Thank God it’s Friday! And for most of you the start of a long weekend. Cheers to that! Here are a few snapshots from the past week… Spent an afternoon in Rowayton complete with ice cream cones and puppies. Oh, summer, I love thee. Proved that Rory fits inside my K. Slademade clutch. I mean… […]
