Merry Christmas

December 24, 2013

Merry Christmas! Sorry for the silence around here lately, priorities have been packing up and getting us safely from London to the US — and now spending as much time with family and friends as we possibly can. We’re here through mid-January and soaking in every minute since we don’t see them as often as we used to. It’s been so nice to unplug and enjoy the time we have with everyone. I miss blogging but I’ll be back in the New Year with lots of new content, a little site re-design, and more! Have a merry Christmas and happy New Year!

P.S. I’ll still be {occasionally} pinning, Instagraming, and tweeting!

Burberry Heart Print

December 11, 2013

I spotted the Burberry heart print blouse on someone on the street recently and I was instantly drawn to it. I’m not normally a quirky prints person but there’s something about how Burberry does it that I love. It’s classic and timeless {in true Burberry form} but also really fun. What do you think of the print? Love it or leave it?

{A few similar styles this top by Alice + Oliva, and this Joie blouse {on sale!}

Operation Bar Cart

December 10, 2013

{Sorry about the outlet and cords, ew.}

I was looking over my New Year’s resolutions that I created at the beginning of 2013 and realized that a small goal I set was to turn our bar cart into a full, working bar cart. It hit me that I’ve failed horribly on this one — part of it had to do with our big move across the pond, but it’s pretty clear that this is nowhere near being as fab as it could be. It’s sort of turned into a place to store random things that don’t have anywhere else to go, with a bottle or two of pretty liqueur {which we have yet to tap into.} This said, I think 2014 will be the year of the bar cart and I’m looking to Pinterest for lots of inspiration on how to fill it up. I’ll be starting with this pretty bottle, this shaker, this tool set, these straws. What else should I add? Thoughts?

Gift Guide: For the Home

December 9, 2013

A few ideas for the hostess/home. I’d personally be happy with any of the above — especially that blanket {dream!} and those gorgeous platters.
