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.

What to Wear No.72

I just love a dainty, feminine look. These What to Wear posts are always so fun for me to pull together… and it’s always nice to look back on them and draw inspiration for my own outfits. I snagged this Zara set for spring and cannot wait to wear it. There’s nothing more classic than a matching set in cream with the perfect little accessories—unique in their details. I saw this skirt and instantly fell in love with the whole look pulled together and the sweet little hem details. I love it paired with a simple sandal heel, good shades, and some silver additions. Alex shared this silver clutch on Instagram and I simply swooned at the sight of it! And while we’re already feeling matchy matchy… these Sophie Buahi shell earrings would work perfectly.

Beautiful Things Worth Noting No.13

Spring is springing today! This week looks absolutely glorious for us here in DC and it has me craving all the spring outfits and feels. Anytime we switch over between the warm and cold seasons, I’m always plotting a few updates, whether it be for my wardrobe or my home. I’m thinking hard about what I want to take on this spring/summer with a few ideas in mind. I don’t spend much on clothing since really focusing in on a capsule wardrobe, but I do indulge in new shoes most years and have been eyeing this gorgeous cream bag as well. When it comes to the apartment, I’m really itching to update my living room and dining a bit. And while the price of a real tapestry makes me quiver, I can’t help but want one for my space. They are so beautiful!! I’m on the hunt for something more in my price range, but for now, a girl can dream!! This one is beyond perfect. This table has also been saved for quite some time, plus a few other potential acquisitions for the season.
