Lavender Ombre Glasses

January 14, 2013

While I was home over Christmas I went on a fun antiquing trip with my mom and sisters. It’s become a tradition {here are some of last year’s finds} and this year I scored this gorgeous set of lavender ombre glasses. Ever since Nicole posted about her ombre salad bowls I’ve been on the hunt for a set of something similar. I included them in a place setting for dinner last night while we were entertaining friends {along with West Elm plates and flatware} and I love the pretty bit of color they added to the table.

P.S. An exciting announcement on the blog tomorrow!

NOLA

January 11, 2013

We’ve been in New Orleans the past few days visiting with Matt’s sister. It’s my first time and I’m completely blown away by what a cool city it is — we’re loving the jazz, good southern food, gorgeous plantations, and of course time with family.

Some random thoughts:

+ I’m loving this wardrobe editing chart. Definitely will be consulting it a lot this month as I clear out some unused items in my closet!
+ These BluePrint Cleanse recipes are next on my list to try. I’ve been wanting to try the cleanse and love the idea of making the juices myself. Any tried and true juicer brands?
+ I’ve been working on a really fun sewing project with my mom right now — can’t wait to show the results very soon!

Diptyque

January 4, 2013

Diptyque candles are some of my favorites — the packaging + branding are perfect, they all smell delicious, and they burn for a really long time. After finishing the Baies candle, the jar now holds my makeup brushes, but I’m loving the idea of using them for greenery + flowers.
