Poppy for Mrs. Alice

I am constantly swooning over Mrs. Alice's latest tablescapes. She serves as my utmost inspiration when it comes to entertaining and I absolutely adore her latest collaboration with style icon, Poppy Delevingne. The collection celebrates their lifelong friendship and is inspired by classic chinoiserie. My favorite pieces are these whimsical prosecco coups, these blush placements & napkins, and these charming palm candle  holders.  Bon Appetit, darlings!

My truly talented friend and interior designer, Mark D. Sikes just published his second book, "More Beautiful". And it is just that, beautiful. Mark has an impeccable eye and his classic American design is truly iconic. The book is teaming with gorgeous inspiration like this one of the designers very own dining room.

Weezie

I have long adored Weezie towels since their launch almost two years ago. I am in awe of how they have truly been able to make luxury towels more accessible. From the perfect weight terrycloth, to the impeccable details, and lovely monogram options, I just can't get enough!  I have had their towels for quite some time (love them!), but just recently got my first Weezie robe and it simply has me swooning. I chose the Long Robe with light blue piping (the perfect hue!) and Hudson monogram. What I love about the robe is that it is so soft, but not too heavy unlike so many other robes I have tried before. Oh, I long for a day I could lounge in it all day!
 

My other absolute favorite products from Weezie are their navy make-up towels ... truly genius! You no longer have to worry about ruining your nice towels again. They are sold as a pair and make a darling gift for a girlfriend. 

Enjoy the stay!

Elevate the Everyday

 

Eating at home every night for the past four months has truly made me appreciate the beauty of elevating the everyday and making family meals together feel special. Even if we were just eating delivery pizza at home, I decided that it would be fun to upgrade our tableware and invest in some beautiful pieces that would make for lovely tablescapes. But, I wanted to be sure to balance the pretty with the practical given that I have three young children at home. With those parameters, here are my favorite finds for Summer entertaining, as we all spend more time at home than ever before.

 

 

    ALICE NAYLOR LEYLAND - Scalloped Placemats {beautiful & water resistant!}
The AVENUE - Melamine Blue & White Botanical Plates 
INDIA AMORY - Tablecloths
THE AVENUE - Wicker Covered Thermos (does coffee get cuter?!) 
THE LEWIS MILLER DESIGN x LSD - Flower Flash Box (stunning & benefits a good cause}
THE AVENUE - Liberty Napkins & Coordinating Placemats
  and speaking of entertaining .... I truly can't wait for Aerin Lauder's new book "Entertaining Beautifully" to come out in September. Pre-Order it here!              xx,

Ariel Orkin x Chasing Paper

I have long adored the work of interior designer, Ariel Orkin and have always been quite the fan of removable wallpaper {particularly for children's rooms}. Thus, I am quite excited about her upcoming collaboration with Chasing Paper. We got a sneak peek of the inspiration behind each of the papers through these impeccably done mood boards by Abby Ward. I am truly smitten with every single one and have been dreaming up where I could put some of this paper up in my home.

Becky Boyle Interiors

From the moment I laid eyes on them, I have been seriously swooning over the rooms Becky Boyle designed for the Southern Living Showcase Home in Nashville. It is no surprise that I adore the designer's impeccable taste given that before starting her eponymous firm she was the Senior Designer for Mark. D Sikes {another absolute favorite of mine}. 

I truly wish I could transport both this dining room and bunkroom straight into my home. From the Gracie and Lulie Wallace wallpapers to the perfect d. Porthault pillow accents ... she truly thought of it all. I absolutely cannot wait to see what this talented young designer does next!

Smitten with this Sweet Southern Home

 

I absolutely adore everything that creative designer and brand director of Gadabout Creative, Hanna Seabrook touches. Thus, it is absolutely no surprise that I am seriously smitten with her charming home in Lousiville, Kentucky that was recently published in Southern Living. Each room is exquisitely decorated to perfection and Hanna's gorgeous aesthetic can be felt in each touch. For those of you who don't follow her on Instagram already her account is a must see!

Hill House Home

You all know I have truly been a fan of Hill House Home, since it's launch a few years ago. {their monogram pillow shams have become some of my go-to wedding gifts lately} I absolutely adore their product, cohesive branding, and founder {if you don't follow Nellie on Instagram you are majorly missing out}. 

 

This Summer I have been LOVING their new product launches ... maybe it's the perfect pastel color palette that I cannot get enough of. But, you must check our their new cabana stripe towels {practically perfect for any summer home}, beautiful pjs {I'd do my coffee run in these I love them so much}, and these luxurious silk pillow cases {I'll take the pink, please}. Sweet dreams, darlings.

Perfect Le Mas des Poiries

My husband and I have been casually considering taking our little family on an extended European vacation {we maybe be absolutely crazy!} and these magical photos of photographer Jamie Beck and her family at the stunning Le Mas des Poiries in France truly have me day dreaming. I posted about this gorgeous home in Provence last Summer {here}and I cannot get enough of all the images Jamie shared of her vacation there. An absolute dream.

Amy Berry Home

I have long admired interior designer, Amy Berry's aesthetic. In fact, she is one of the few people I would love to design my entire home. Thus, I was delighted when she opened a shop this past week in Dallas {although, I don't know when I will be there next!} The store is impeccably curated, making you want to move right in! I have also particularly long adored the nurseries she designs and the way she dresses her children, and so it is only fitting that I may be most excited about the children's section in her shop. Congratulations, dear Amy on a truly beautiful and inspiring space!

Make Drying Off Dreamy

Maybe it's because new towels are actually on my Christmas list this year, but I have been on the hunt for the perfect set. Thus, I was delighted to come across the new brand, Weezie that has done just that. Their towels are luxurious, fluffy, and beautiful {yet actually dry you off!} for an incredible value. They are perfectly polished, thanks to gorgeous piping and perfectly personalized, thanks to endless monogram options {which you know I absolutely cannot resist}. They even make the most clever and adorable make-up towels that would make the perfect gift for a girlfriend {I'd like a pair too please, Santa}. Happy drying, darlings!

Dream Design Live

 I have long admired interior designer, Paloma Contreras' impeccable taste {and been a long time reader of her beautiful blog}. Thus, I was absolutely delighted when she came out with her book, Dream Design Live. I had the pleasure of finally meeting Paloma in person at an event celebrating her book last night and she is just as lovely as the spaces she designs. The book is extremely well done and I found incredible inspiration on every page. It would make a wonderful gift for any design lover in your life!

Lovely London Townhouse

We just recently bought a new home and thus I have had interiors on the brain. I absolutely adore the work of interior designer, Veere Greeney (who just released this book of his work) and cannot get enough of this lovely London townhouse he designed that was just published in the latest issue of Architectural Digest. I am seriously smitten with any and all scallops in bathrooms (like those Greeney used above) and an easy way to add them to your own home is with hand towels like these or these or a beautiful shower curtain.

Angela Wickstead Home

I am seriously smitten with London-based Angela Wickstead Home. From their interior and event styling to their luxurious linens and irresistible taper candles ... I simply cannot get enough. All of the fabrics for their bed, bath, and table linens are sourced and made to order using the finest Italian craftsmanship and monograms can be added to any order. 

If you don't already follow her on Instagram {you must!}. Her feed is such a beautiful source of inspiration... including fabulous fetes like this private event above.

Amy Meier Design

While I was recently home in Rancho Santa Fe I discovered interior designer, Amy Meier, as she just opened a gorgeous shop and design studio right in my hometown. I am seriously smitten with her exquisite aesthetic which is undeniably classic yet unexpectedly modern. I absolutely adore this home she designed in Solana Beach. Can I please move in?!
