Color Story

All things green! For as long as I can remember green has been my favorite color, and also my birthstone, Emerald. I recently scooped up this Riley Sheehey fabric and am feeling so inspired by the color.

Dear Santa

Our family picks names every year and we always share a little wish list. I enjoy creating my list and wanted to give you a glimpse, plus a few more for good measure.

This cashmere scarf is one of my favorite winter pieces in my closet, I was gifted the gray one a few years back and must get the camel color. Great price point too at $50.

I am addicted to my Lake pajamas and would love to continue my collection.

The domino set is a reach, but Mexican train is favorite of my families to play. And this is the MOST chic set I have seen.

We took a trip to the Bahamas last week and I have been eyeing all the rattan and cane since I have been back, this lamp is a STEAL at under $150.

How beautiful is this hand painted bowl?! Would be such a fun addition to the table.

What’s on your list?

SHOP MY LIST – 

Paper Stash

I cleaned out my linen cabinet last night and couldn’t help but admire my growing collection of paper cocktail and luncheon napkins. I keep a stash on hand for all seasons. Such an easy, festive way to brighten a table at the drop of a hat. I love bringing a pack for a birthday dinner or pairing with a napkin holder for a hostess’s gift.

I typically have great luck finding them at Home Goods, and locally in New Orleans, I can always count on Judy’s or Hazelnut to have a beautiful selection.

SHOP MY FAVS-

 

Fresh Out the Box

I just received these two pieces from Zara Home and know they will be in heavy rotation this fall.  They are SO good! You may not think of browsing Zara Home for clothes, but they get fabulous casual items and shoes! Not too mention the home goods are to die for!!

 

The In-between

Looking for the perfect transition shoe, not too summery and not boots? These are just about perfect. I have been living in the woven pair since I got them!

 

Currently Obsessed

Big style, (very) small package, 7″ to be exact. I am currently obsessed with these mini bags! I have my eye on one of the three colors hearted below. The icing on the cake is the chic monogram in the corner, you don’t have to add it but I am a sucker for adding my new married monogram to anything.

Real Review – Target Finds

I  picked up a few decor items recently from Target and have to share. These are all the real deal! I got two of these benches for the foot of my bed and can’t recommend them enough. A great sturdy bench with a super cute, neutral cushion. I plan to recover the cushion but you can’t go wrong with the natural linen color.

This piece of art was an impulse purchase for a wall in our guest room. As an avid art collector this is something I normally wouldn’t purchase but the size (it’s large) and price was too good to pass up. The piece truly looks like an original piece of art.

Summertime Sandals

I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of leather sandals that I can wear with just about anything. At this point I have ordered and returned at least 10 pairs; color not right, straps too thin, straps too tight… you name it, I didn’t love them, even the most expensive of the pairs.

I had just about given up when I came across this pair of Banana Republic sandals. I received them this week and they are perfect!  I look forward to wearing this classic pair of sandals ALL summer!

PS – Banana Republic always has coupon codes/sales, keep you eye out for the best price!

Prime Finds

I hate to even admit it but I’ve ordered way too many things off of Amazon lately. All of these items are in full rotation. The rattan coasters are the newest arrivals and are perfect for cocktails OR for candles. I am obsessed with the one shoulder swimsuit and leopard sarong, such a high-end look for so much less. My go-to summer swim look! I am not normally a backpack person but I have been riding my bike more and more it is the perfect piece to carry all my things and not take up room in my basket. How cute are these dinner napkins? Perfect for summer entertaining. I personally own all of these fabulous finds and would highly recommend them. What’s in your Amazon cart?

 

 

ETSY FINDS

I could spend hours browsing Etsy for unique gifts, beautiful textiles and fun jewelry! It is such a great place to discover new designers and artist. I recently scooped up these pillows for our couch,  hand-blocked dinner napkins for the holidays and a beautiful, handmade necklace.
