Curio Cabinet No.2

Hello! Hope you’re having a great weekend and enjoying your Sunday morning. I’m starting to really get into the festive spirit over here. I took myself out on a date Friday to the Nutcracker - I always love to see the Washington Ballet this time of year. Then walked around the city and enjoyed all the lights and people and music. It was lovely! I wrapped my gifts and sent out my holiday cards, and continued making a good dent in my holiday film list. It’s a rainy one here, so planning to be quite lazy and have a lie-in with Millie and a good book. If you’re doing the same, then I hope you enjoy browsing this little collection of recent finds.

Attersee Brea Bag in Jacquard
This gorgeous little number has been sold out and finally came back in stock. I’m so smitten with its shape and gorgeous fabric. A perfect special addition to dress up a neutral wardrobe.

Vintage Metal Matchbox
I never considered a metal matchbox until I stumbled upon this vintage one on Etsy. What a gorgeous little piece to keep on a coffee table or a thoughtful gift!

Ganni Pointed-Collar Diamond Quilting Jacket
I’ve been eyeing Ganni coats for quite some time and really loving this option. The quilted details and coloring feel classic and I love how Ganni always adds a bit of interest to its pieces, like the collar on this one.

Moda Domus Handcrafted Linen Cocktail Napkins
I added these cocktail napkins to my gift guide, but they deserved a repeat. I just love the cut-out details and how unique, yet classic these feel.

1950s Silver Candlesticks
Candlesticks are a regular occurrence in my posts… I’m always on the hunt and definitely have a problem. I just can’t get enough! These silver babies are beautiful! Buy them so I don’t.

Jeffrey Campbell Mesh Mary-Jane Flat
Ok, I know we’re heading into winter. But I may have gotten into the whole mesh shoe trend. These flats are a good option for dipping into the trend, but with a style that’s quite classic and won’t go out of style.

Rag & Bone Mia Cable-Knit Alpaca and Wool Sweater (55% off!)
Currently on the hunt for very specific closet items, one of them being a brown sweater. I love this chunkier option for the colder months and the slight detailing on the front.

1940s Small Silver Plate Urn
I can officially say that I’m a collector of small baby urns. This one caught my eye, but I’m trying to be good - I already have a couple silver options! So sharing with you in case you too love a baby urn.

Venus Fluted Glass Hurricane
This hurricane is calling my name. I already own a couple others, but would love to collect two large holders for my dining room table as every day decor, and to add that perfect candlelit ambiance to the table when entertaining.

Vintage Silver-Plated Butter Knives
If you’ve followed me on Instagram, you know I’m constantly collecting silver pieces for parties and dining. One day I’ll fill a huge cabinet with all my antique silver pieces on display! Silver knives are a great way to dress up your cheeseboard or butter dish.

Crystal and Brass Antique Wall Sconce
As I’ve been scouring for crystal and silver wall sconces to replace my temporary Amazon ones, I stumbled upon this beauty! A bit Rose Uniacke inspired.

Ballard Natasha Nesting Tables
I’ve had these tables in my bookmarks for so long, but ended up finding other options since these were too big. I still love their iron finish and felt they deserved a highlight!

Sophie Buhai Fan Shell Hair Clip
None of us need an expensive claw clip… but it’s so pretty! Love the shape and gorgeous material on this Sophie Buhai option and may add it to my wishlist. While I’m home, my hair is often clipped back, so it would definitely be worth it!

Gohar Stemware Battenberg Lace Slippers
Do your wine glasses need “slippers?” No. But how fun! I’ve never seen anything like this. Leave it to Gohar to create it. Such a fabulous way to dress up glasses for a holiday party!

Curio Cabinet No.1

I have to say a big thank you to everyone who has subscribed so far. It means a lot! It’s really lit a fire under me and I’m feeling more inspired than I have in a very long time. It’s refreshing to be working with a new outlet and to have a new look/direction for my own branding and design. I’m just excited about this space right now. Anyways…

This series tends to be a favorite of mine. Just a dump of all the things I’ve found on the internet lately in one round-up. And I loved the idea of calling it my curio cabinet as a collection of sorts… beautiful pieces to share.

Vintage Iron Urn
If you know me, you know I love an aged, patinated, imperfect urn. Good for the garden, but also decor or to hold flowers. I adore the color on this one.

Everlane Canvas Organic Cotton Parka
Obsessed with this parka. I love how classic, but modern it looks and the creamy neutral is certainly calling my name. I’m in the market for a new one and think this is it.

Gohar Mini Candelabra
I’m currently having a love affair with Gohar. I find myself browsing their site every week and can’t stop eyeing this amazing candelabra. I love how slightly funky and unique it is.

Marble Cone Shell
If you follow photos of my home on Instagram, you know I have a slight obsession with shells, and natural curiosities tend to be an element I flock to. Love the gorgeous pattern on this!

Los Angeles Apparel Seashell Earrings
While I’ll always be a gold girl at heart, silver has really made a comeback in my life lately. Particularly in earrings and I’ve start up a bit of a collection—these have been added!

Wicker Hurricane Candle Holders
If there’s a wicker candle holder in the room, I’m its #1 fan. These types of pieces just add so much good texture to a space and who doesn’t love a good hurricane.

Sam Edelman Michaela Mary Janes
It’s no surprise that Mary Janes are currently trending, though I do think they never go out of style. I already have a soft neutral velvet pair and think I’ll be snagging these as well!

Vintage Marble Vase
Little vintage accessories like this are how I create a cozy, collected home, but still keep it neutral and fresh. Love this small vase!

Nothing Written Nella Strap Bag
Nothing Written is one of those brands that flies under the radar but is so chic and affordable. I currently have a couple of their bags on my wishlist and love this little number.

Wrought Iron Curule Bench
I’m on the hunt for an end-of-bed bench for the bedroom and this is exactly the style I’d love. Between the wrought iron and the creamy cushion, this option if gorgeous.

Vintage Pewter Plate
I have a few pewter plates in this shape and am always sorry that I can’t link them when you ask because I’ve picked mine up from a local vintage shop. So, happy to have found these!

Vintage Marble Lamp
Rarely does this series not include a lamp. Whenever I come across fabulous alabaster options I always need to share them! Clearly, I have an obsession if you’ve seen my home.
