Amazon Home Shopping

Kiel and I moved into our new home almost a year ago and we are finally starting to renovate some of the rooms. The first room on our list is our guest room. We have family and friends stay over often and really wanted to create a welcoming, comfortable space. Right now we pretty much have just a bed and a couple of pictures on the wall — the decor is very minimal. As you can see from the bottom two pictures, it needs a little love.

Spring For It

Dress: kate spade (same print different style) Bag: Tory Burch (similar) Shoes: Dolce & Gabbana (similar) Hat: Clyde

The hunt was always a thrill. It was exciting to see how high certain pieces would sell for and how many people were watching an item.

Daffy Weekend

Every end of April we usually head to Nantucket for Daffodil weekend. This year I was sad to miss the festivities due partially to work. Going through old photos I realized I never shared this post from last year. Harry had just turned 6 months old and was mastering sitting up on his own. It’s fun to look at these pictures and see how much he has grown. He is now taller than Bennie when she sits.

The Best Statement Earrings For Spring

Year round I love a good statement earring to mix up my outfits. My look never feels complete with out adding a little something extra, especially if my attire is basic. The right statement earring can tie a look together. For the longest time I’ve worn clip-on earrings. I’m always on the hunt for them. I love that so many companies offer them these days. I mainly used to buy them in antique stores and now I can find a number of different styles online from some of my favorite designers.

Spring Shopping

Dress: Tory Burch, Boots: Tory Burch (old, found this pair on eBay)
Spring has officially arrived in New England and I couldn’t be happier. This weekend has been the first weekend to actually feel like spring — the weather has been warm and the trees are finally starting to bud. I’ve loved spending the time outdoors. We took the Wagooneer out for a drive to stock up on tulips and daffodils for our yard.
