Baa Baa Black Sheep

Black is a reoccurring favorite in my wardrobe. A classic, timeless, simple color that often flatters everyone - you just cannot go wrong. While I still wear a lot of black during the summer, this time of year is when I often grab my black basics for everyday wear or for days when I want to elevate my outfit.

Of course, I may have also been inspired a bit after bookmarking the fluffy sheep following my stay at the Thyme hotel in the Cotswolds. So this post is a bit of a nod to him. There are plenty of black pieces on my mind for the upcoming season, so a quick round-up was in order! And I couldn’t pass up a few home goods as well…

Seashell Collection

Sally sells seashells by the seashore. I simply cannot get enough. If you follow me in real life, you know I collect shells to layer throughout my home and have a few shell-detailed decor and natural oceanic curiosities laying about. I’m endlessly inspired by their textures, colors, patterns, and shapes. Since I’m often so drawn to everything of the sort, I thought a little roundup would be fun for the blog. A few beautiful pieces to wear or use or decorate with.

Room Study

Inspired by my own apartment… a little room study. I’ve recently felt the urge to make a few updates around my home after 2.5 years here. I recently switched out my coffee table for a beautiful vintage travertine find and have a new sofa coming in June! Amazing what a fresh piece of furniture can do for a space.

My living room is, of course, the area I spend most of my time in. I adore it. I’ve carefully selected each piece homed there, from family antiques passed down to me, to amazing vintage finds, to new pieces that mixed in seamlessly. I’m often asked how I get my look—it’s honestly just a lot of neutrals, timeless, simple pieces that can work with anything, and little natural curiosities and textures. I love to keep this space feeling calm, fresh, and effortless. And since it has been a good year since I pulled one of these posts together, felt like a good time to share one inspired by my new sofa and coffee table! I’ve been bookmarking travertine coffee tables for monthsss, and was absolutely shocked when I saw someone selling one in DC for $300 (when they normally go for over $1,500). So happy I got my hands on one and how it’s given a whole new vibe to my space. On a similar note, I’ve been wanting a new sofa ever since I moved here and realized how much my style had changed. Out with the mid-century look and in with something clean and classic.
