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…

Beautiful Things Worth Noting No.14
Hi friends! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. It was a bit of a reset for me as I had just gotten back from my mom’s bay house on Thursday. So spent most of mine cleaning and doing laundry, plus a bit of rearranging my bedroom. Always feels good to freshen things up! It’s certainly feeling like summer here in DC. I instantly feel like I need a shower anytime I step foot outside. And while I love to frolic around the city and walk my favorite neighborhoods, this weather has me wanting to stay inside from the heat. But it’s a good excuse for me to knock out a bunch of blog posts for you all.
Now that my little site updates and clean up have been made, I also added back in my other shop pages! So things may look a bit different over here. I’m planning to work on bulking these shop pages up over the next week! Along with starting to use LTK to share random roundups. Going to be working on adding a lot of posts there—including my apartment rooms that you can shop. And may also plan to add blog posts there too if it makes sense to do so.
Anyways, I’ve been bookmarking a lot of finds over the past couple weeks and have been anxious to share them here. From dreamy, white closet additions to antique home finds, these things really caught my eye. More to come!

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.
