THE WEDDING SEASON BEGINS…

This weekend kicks of the first of my summer weddings – but this one may end up being the most special. I’ve known the bride since we were only four, growing up in LA together. She’s an amazing woman, and I’ve always been surprised at how our paths seemed to naturally weave in and out [...]

    Yes please, we need some different weddings. I’m SO OVER the usual ‘blog’ wedding which looks like a crafty photo shoot with mason jars and so on. Love the place names above!

    I’m not sick of mason jars at all, BUT I love that things are turning glamorous. This week’s posts were some of my favorites! Thanks for all you do! Have fun this weekend!

    your loyal reader, Carolynn

SPRING MAKEUP TRENDS :: BLUE, BRONZE AND CORAL

I like to refresh my makeup cabinet every season with just a few essentials (its also a good excuse to clean out old stuff), but how’s a girl to know what to buy if her head isn’t constantly submerged in the beauty world 24/7? I decided it was time I did a little research and [...]

    I’m loving all of this! I’m thinking I’ll rock tan skin and some blue subtle eyes for an event this weekend!

    Also, love how you edited the look above!

    I love the bold brow look! I wish I could rock it—but with blonde hair and really light brows, it just looks too intense on me. I’ve been using Pixi’s natural brow duo from Target to make them stand out a bit but look natural, and I really like it.

INSPIRATION // AN ENCHANTED EVENING

Last year, I collaborated with Emily at Elva Fields to put together a one-of-a-kind necklace that she created just for me. I enjoyed the project so much, and while we were working together, I pinned a bunch of inspiration images – one of which I haven’t been able to get out of my head… The [...]

THE BREAKFAST BENCH

I’ve always been a fan of the breakfast nook – a perfect casual spot to post up in the morning with coffee and a laptop, and I hope that someday I’ll have one. But lately, I’ve also been loving this idea… Just a simple little bench seat to cozy into on a Sunday morning while [...]

    I just a love breakfast nook and bench in the kitchen. It’s extra seating for a dinner party, and underneath a large sunny window, the perfect little area to unwind in the morning over a book and tea.

    I’ve always wanted a couch in the kitchen, but this bench is just as cute! And yes, I agree with bench over the mini-desk. Who actually does work at those anyway?

    I couldn’t agree more… I would much rather have a seating area than a small desk that really doesn’t function. I wish I had a larger kitchen so my husband and/or guests would have a place to hang while I am buzzing around getting things together.

LINEN LOVE :: CAROLINE HURLEY

This weekend while shopping in LA we stumbled into a store that had some gorgeous piles of linens, and I had a hard time walking away from one. I love linens for the simple fact that they can be so many things – a throw, a chair cover, a beach or picnic blanket, a tablecloth. A really [...]

SPRING {BABY} SHOWERS

Good morning readers! I’m fresh back from LA and hopping into a photo shoot this morning, so I decided to ask for a guest post from one of my favorite gals, Kacie from A Collection of Passions. She and I grew up together, and she just happens to be on the verge of being a mama [...]
