Plants

April 5, 2016

We’ve recently moved and we have a little conservatory/greenhouse at the front of the flat that is ideal for house plants. I was never much of a plant person before but I’ve become obsessed lately – I love the green in the home and also the natural feel it creates. I had a few ideas of plants I knew I wanted {like the swiss cheese plant}, but most of the others have just been ones I spotted at random and added to the collection. The last one in the Modernica planter is related to snake plants, apparently it’s impossible to kill! I’m still figuring out how to not kill the rest, but so far so good.

IN OTHER NEWS – Shopbop’s having their Friends & Family sale – EVERYTHING is 25% off with code INTHEFAM. I’m loving everything For Love & Lemons right now, and I totally need a pair of block heels for summer – so soon now!

London Day

March 24, 2016

A few weeks ago Lauren and I went on a girl’s day out around London which was long overdue. When Travelex challenged us to see how far $160 (about £100) would go in London, we gladly accepted and thought it best we do it together – always better with friends!

We wanted to make the day as stereotypically London as possible {or what people think every day in London is, this is not my day-to-day norm, sadly}. We started off with brunch at Thomas’s at Burberry. We ate brunch amongst the plaid scarves and trench coats and took way too many pictures of the food. Afterwards we decided to head to the National Gallery which is one of my favorite {and free!} museums in London. We finished off the day with a nice, calming massage {so necessary after walking around touristy Piccadilly Circus}!

A huge thanks to Travelex for the day out!

A few not-so-basic “basics” that I’m loving – a simple palette with extra little details to add a something interesting.

Around Here

February 17, 2016

It’s been ages since I did a little “around here” post, so here’s a few snaps of scenes lately and around the flat:

01. I love the pastel flats around Primrose Hill, they are so striking! Primrose Hill has definitely become my favorite neighborhoord in London, it’s so villagey and sweet.

02. Currently investing in a few coffee table books and I’m loving the yellow cover on this one. Also, we found that mid-century table and chair set on eBay and I’m obsessed, but more on that later!

03. I’ve totally become my mom and have been tapping into my horticulture side. I’m so clueless when it comes to plants so I’m hoping I’ll be able to keep these alive. And don’t you love that gold planter? Found it at Target.

04. It’s still freezing here in London so I found this super warm coat on Vestiaire Collective. Loving it with my sneakers and Acne scarf, it’s my go-to freezing-weather uniform.

05. A little kitchen scene with copper knives {from Target of course, had them sent all the way to the UK} , and a little marble tray to hold extra things.
