My mother sent me this book when I was bedridden with pneumonia last month. I can’t put it down. Interested in style? Not fashion, but true style? Check it out…

I know that Gladiator sandals are all the rage for the coming summer season, but honestly, I find most of them to be much too adorned. I like simple. I had a picture in my head of my mother, in the late 70s. She had a gorgeous and simple pair of brown leather sandals, a [...]

I have such fond memories of my Jack Rogers Navajo sandals. I wore them for years. They play into some of my favorite summertime memories.
And how satisfying to see that they are in children’s sizes now.
Coco would love the pink ones.
And Pea? She’s all about anything that’s not pink these days (yay!), so I’m thinking [...]

Longing, just longing for a Swan’s Island blanket. An investment, yes. But also an heirloom.   

Some of the girls’ current favorite books:
Mimi’s Shoes. Illustrated by an employee of none other than J. Crew. The story is simple. It’s those illustrations that so fascinate. And the fact that grandma doesn’t look like your typical grandma. She is fabulous. None of the girls in our house can get enough of this one. [...]

A friend turned me onto the incredible deliciousness of the various nut butters out there, and while i can honestly say almond butter never did much for me, have you tried coconut butter? Oh my cripes, it is incredible. You can eat it with a spoon right out of the jar and it’s just a [...]

I can hardly stand how adorable this dress is. From the front? Simple sundress. From the back? It’s all about the butterfly. And what little girl doesn’t adore butterflies?

Pea has a wrought-iron bed. It was mine when I was little. It’s very pretty but I would love to entwine these pretty little rosebud lights through the headboard of the bed. So pretty, and then maybe we could forgo her nightlight in favor of these sparkly little ones…

I love mixing gold and silver. Some are opposed. I am not.
Also love stacked rings. Many, many thin bands on one finger.
Here you go…

Love this poncho, in all it’s ethereal glory. It would be so cute on those Wednesday summer evenings when we take the girls to the outdoor concert at a nearby resort.
I’d wear it over a white tank top and with a pair of well worn-in ‘boyfriend’ jeans cuffed up and a pair of these sandals [...]

I’ve always been dreadfully freaked out by the term ‘vintage,’ which to me just means used by someone else that I don’t know.
But lately I’m rethinking my opinion on the matter.
This purse is the absolute perfect vintage boho-looking one I’ve ever come across. And when you compare it to the price of a new and [...]

This sweater makes me actually rethink my whole ‘crochet is for old people’ stance…

Have you seen this website? I’ve had it bookmarked for so long that I forgot it existed, it was so low on my list. But oh, this pillow. It’d be so charming on the antique fainting sofa I bought last spring and am about to have reupholstered for the girls’ loft outside of their bedrooms. [...]

I’ve recently given up coffee. It was tough. Oh, so tough. But now? I’m all about the tea. And it’s not just the actual drinking of the tea that I’m about. It’s the whole process of making it. I’m finding it very therapeutic, almost meditative. But I need a teapot! I’m loving this unique one [...]

Working on our entryway. Needed a huge lamp. Something rustic, but still chic. Meaning: not country blue duck rustic, but more city slicker rustic. Have had my eye on this lamp by Roost for years now. The taller one. WIth the mahogany shade. I don’t think it’s going to get any more perfect than this [...]
