A few items that I’m eyeing lately.

I had to share that shampoo with you, it’s the best thing I’ve put on my hair in a while. Also, those flats are 25% off right now!

Kilim Rug

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect kilim rug to add some warmth and interest into our very neutral flat. I found this vintage one on eBay and I’m loving everything about it — the design and colors are just the right base to build on. A tufted, charcoal sofa is next on my list of furniture items — hopefully the mix of the classic sofa and the vintage rug will be what I’m envisioning!

If you’re looking for a vintage kilim rug, eBay and Craigslist are great places to buy. Try searching with the keywords kilim, Moroccan, vintage, Persian, or antique.

P.S. Life’s been hectic and thanks so much for your sweet notes and nudges to get back into blogging! I’ve missed it! There’s so much to catch up on — including a trip to Venice which I can’t wait to share with you. xo

I love warm weather just as much as the next girl, but there’s something about the beginnings of fall that I get so excited about. It was summer when I left to go to the US two weeks ago, but when I came back the weather had cooled down and it’s had me thinking about sweaters, plaid, and leather jackets. Shop some of my favorite pieces for fall {and also check out a great curated selection of items for fall here.}

DIY Hair Mask

I’ve been using this mask weekly and have been loving it, it leaves my hair super soft and shiny, and I’ve also noticed it’s been a little more resistant to the London humidity. It does not smell good, so brace yourselves, but the results are so worth it, I promise!

Ingredients

+ 1/2 ripe avocado
+ 2/3 cup Greek yogurt
+ 1 egg
+ 1 tablespoon Manuka honey
+ 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Directions

Combine all ingredients. Apply to clean, wet hair, in sections, focusing on the ends. Leave on for 15-20 minutes. You can tie your hair up and put a hair cap on it to keep it out of the way. Shampoo the mask out, condition, and style as normal.

Back in London

Sorry for the silence — again! This summer has been filled with travels and while I’ve loved it it hasn’t left much time for other things that I love, like blogging. I got to go to Dallas for work {my first time there!} and then to Annapolis to visit with my family. It was so nice to be back in the US and spend so much time with friends and family. I’m back at work and getting back into my routine now , but prepping for a fun trip to Venice next weekend. I think could get used to this jet-setting thing. :) This weekend was quiet, at home in London with Matt, and above are a few moments I captured. I hope you enjoy!
