Sunday Shopping 10/13

There was a frost advisory this morning which means it's finally fall (or if you run as cold as I do, winter... yes, I wore a knee length parka outside this morning).  So this Sunday, I'm trying not to leave the house and shopping for things that will warm me up! I'm really feeling like curling up on my sofa with a cup of tea (I love Fortnum & Mason's Countess Grey but they won't ship it to the US unless it's part of a Christmas hamper so the Harrods version will have to work).  But I've also been craving a Ketel One Martini for about a week so I might have to go that route instead (ps- these glasses are...

Sunday Shopping 10/6

Happy Sunday Everyone! It's finally raining here in Kentucky and the temperature dropped below 80 so I'm starting to get into fall mode.  With the rain, I decided to cook bolognese for dinner tonight! I personally love the Barefoot Contessa recipe because it doesn't take all day.  Plus you can serve it to a crowd in a pretty Le Creuset pot and your whole table looks much more put together!

Monday Must Haves 9/23

It's the first day of fall and I'm slowly embracing it (emphasis on slowly).  Here are some pieces I've been eyeing for the upcoming season and life in general!   These cheese knives are seriously the best on the market.  They're my go-to for bridal showers and hostess gifts.  I have them in plain stainless but I'm loving the multicolor option! I also think this wine chiller is something I need in my life.  It can apparently chill a bottle of white in 10 minutes.  It's noisier than some of the other machines that do this but it's also faster so worth the noise?  After chilling some vino blanco in the machine, I'd serve it in this fantastic blue and...

Sunday Shopping 9/15

It's 93 degrees in Kentucky and way too hot to be outside so I've been online "window shopping."  I've found some great things for fall.  Hope you enjoy them too! JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser. Reactivate it to view this content.

Grandmillenial Style 101: House Beautiful just nailed it.

Over the weekend, a House Beautiful article and quiz went a bit viral with accounts I follow on Instagram.  It outlined what it calls "Grandmillenial" style and I couldn't identify with it more.  I'm a 20 something who loves florals, caftans, chintz sofas, and needlepoint.  This Wednesday's post is inspired by that article, with tips on how to nail the look.  Let me know what you think in the comments below!     Clockwise from top left: dress | hairbrush | earrings | loafers | pink bag | mirror | backgammon board | bamboo flatware | lampshade | cocktail napkins | rattan lamp | embroidered towels | floral pillow | green pillow | pink dress | tortoise headband | woven...
