In the Mood for Red

 

Hi hi friends - a trend alert coming your way. The color red is having a moment right now! If you haven’t noticed yet, I promise you are going to start seeing it everywhere. Red is hot hot hot right now!

Early Fall Shoe Edit

Early fall footwear has a special place in my heart. These coming weeks are the last hoorah before we commit our feet to boots, or at the very least very closed toe shoes, for the next six months. I personally like to take this short window as an opportunity to go big or go home when it comes to styling my feet (& take it as an excuse to pick up a new pair or two!) These are a few early fall shoe styles that have been catching my eye for one last stroll around the block!

A Note on Passions

What are your passions?

It's a question that I've often been intimidated by. One that I have never felt quite confident enough to answer. Upon hearing the question, my answers slowly simmer inside - I know them, they are there - but there's a doubt keeps me quiet. A tiny voice that says, but they aren't quite big enough, or important enough, or good enough.

I was asked recently what my passions are, but was saved from answering by a swift change in the course of conversation. But it's a moment I've kept coming back to in the days following. 

Pre-Fall '23

It always feels a little bit unnatural talking about fall before Labor Day weekend has come and gone, however I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel a little bit excited for what's to come. As we all know, I'm a summer girlie through and through, but as the summer starts to wane, I can start to appreciate the changes that a new season brings in. 

What to Wear in the South of France

Wondering what to wear in the French Riviera? Well I've got you covered. The South of France is a luxe travel destination but with its proximity to the Mediterranean there is still a breeziness to the styles worn. Think lots of linen, flowy dresses, swimwear & chic coverups, straw bags galore, and stylish sun protection. 

A Note on Seasons

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately & reflecting on this idea that nothing is permanent. A very broad claim, but one that can be applied to a multitude of situations and components of life. Specifically, I've been musing over this idea that the seasons of life are ever changing, and with their shifts, we morph and change too. 

For the Bride

Every year as we approach peak bridal season, I enjoy perusing the abundance of pieces that would make any bride to be swoon.

A New Favorite Candle for Spring

I am a creature of habit when it comes to candle scents - I'm a little bit picky, know what I like, and have my seasonal favorites that I rotate in & out throughout the year. However, I am not opposed to introducing something new, and when I find a new scent that I love, you can bet it's coming home with me. 

In the Mood for Stripes

Stripes have forever been are a classic. They are a wardrobe staple and a pattern that offers endless versatility & possibility. I personally have always been drawn to a good stripe, and if it's a blue & white stripe, well I'm done for. I'm a total sucker for classic aesthetics. 

Using the Past to Practice Gratitude for the Present

As I sipped my coffee this am, I read HWM’s piece about the gratitude prompt “remember when you wanted what you have now?” She walks us through her thoughts on the notion and has a beautiful way of explaining & properly articulating the feelings that I think many of us have. I’m not going to delve into my thoughts on it more because she does such a fantastic job doing so, and also because I think the prompt itself is very self explanatory. I will however, encourage you all to subscribe to the (free!) weekly newsletter for more thought-provoking & inspiring conversations! 

Spring '23 Preview

To get myself through these last dreadful days of winter, I've put together a little sampling of all the pieces catching my eye for spring. Without fail, by this time of year, I am in the biggest wardrobe rut. Officially over winter and all the pieces that have kept me warm all season, I find myself looking forward to better weather and the shift in clothing that accompanies it. C'mon spring, we are ready for you!!

2023 To-Do List

Just typing out 2023 relaxes my shoulders and allows me to breath a sigh of relief. 2022 was a lot for me on a personal level, from start to finish really. There were beautiful moments of joy of course, but there was this overwhelming heaviness & at times paralyzing sadness. There was a lot of grief & mourning for a season of my life that unexpectedly & suddenly ended, without an ounce of warning or explanation. A big chapter closed & it took with it one of my most valued and important relationships. To say it was heartbreaking, would be the understatement of the century.
