    Peaceful slumbers (part 2)

    Well – it’s done! Our new Tatersall bed is here and it’s soooo comfy!  The rest of the bedroom is still a work in progress but at least the most important piece is done. I found the lamps at Pier 1. The shades are in the same color palette as the new window shades without Continue reading

    Let there be light!

    This past weekend was spent in a frenzy of cleaning, finishing up old projects and installing new light fixtures. The dining room was updated with the Artecnica Norm 69 pendant or the “artichoke” as I like to call it. It was quite a challenge to install because we only had the shade and no light Continue reading

    Summer Black

    Challenge: wearing black in the summer. Solution: hippie with a touch of punk.

I’ve always thought Panama hats are so chic in that sipping-mojitos-on-the-French Riviera way. I almost bought the “real” thing in Hawaii once but the price tag was a little too much. This is my Continue reading

    Relax!

    So what’s a girl to do after a long day’s work? Stretch out and relax of course! (pants and cardi: JCrew, top: Urban Outfitters, watch: Citizens) You know when you find that pair of shoes or pants or blouse that you just love and want to wear again and again? I think that’s the heart Continue reading

    Soul of Africa

    So apparently high heels don’t do good things for your feet: sore arches, twisted toes etc. In an effort to give my feet a rest I have been adding to my collection of flat, strappy sandals. Here’s the latest addition: (top & skirt: Urban Outfitters, sandals: Clarks – Soul of Africa) Not only are these sandals Continue reading
