Good morning and happy Monday! I hope everyone had an awesome weekend. I have to say, mine was pretty fabulous and now I’m feeling refreshed and ready to kick off the week. I’ve been crushing hard on gorgeous shades of emerald green lately. I just love this color for wintertime fetes or for cheery summer …
There is nothing I love more than a good coffee date. A big cup of coffee, the best company and great conversation just make my heart happy. Whether it be snuggled up at home or camped out at a favorite café, taking a few moments to enjoy the simple things in life is one of …
There’s something so simply and delightfully happy about confetti, don’t you think? I love these pretty confetti garlands from tokketok so much it kind of makes me want to string my own garland for around the house this holiday season. Do we think this is actually going to happen? Probably not so much, but in …
There’s something about the classic pairing of black and white that I’ve been loving lately. It swings easily from traditional to modern, elegant to playful and adds an instant dash of class. As the holidays and winter weddings quickly approach, I’m all about an abundance of timeless black and white details. {Photos: Dining room / …

I’m loving this fall wedding inspiration shoot featured on Style Me Pretty last year. This past weekend we went to a cookout at a friend’s house where the kids had way too much fun raking up big piles of leaves and wrestling around. Somehow this reminds me of that same carefree spirit. Big piles of …

Jess imagined a stylish, casual couple hopping onto their bike and zipping off to city hall to get married. What follows is a little celebration with decor using simple …
Right now I’m loving the latest collection by Amy Wing Designs. Inspired by the ironwork of Venice, Amy designed a collection that plays off the concepts of light, dark, shape and form. Each piece was created in sterling silver which was cast, hammered and then antiqued to give a dark, rich color that I absolutely …
Hi, friends! A bit of a slow day around here as I’ve been feeling under the weather and spent most of the day cuddled up in bed. Luckily I have two of the cutest dogs in the universe to take care of me. I’ve had this Ben Harper song rolling around in my head all …
I’ve been doing some research lately for a few upcoming projects and along the way have been finding myself incredibly inspired by soft muted colors and quietly beautiful photography capturing stolen moments. Funny how you can draw so much inspiration from something as simple as a coffee mug or a collection of broken terra cotta …
Interestingly enough, there has been a lot of talk of oysters in my little world lately. (Random, I know.) So I got pretty gosh darn excited when I saw that the lovely Juliet of Poppies & Posies recently took on the coolest little side venture – an oyster shuck truck! Based in Maine, Cabin Cove …
