Marble Is the Moment—Here’s How to Add It to Your Home Without Renovating
Marble is totally having a moment right now—and honestly, it deserves the attention!

Musings of the Spring Home
The roses are all blooming this week and their fragrance is literally lingering in the air. It may actually be my favorite event of the entire year. If you are… shall we call it… botanically baffled… then you know that even just the fact that the roses survived another year feels like…
The Interior Design Rule I Refuse to Break
Let’s just say it—I have a type. I try to branch out, I really do. But at the end of the day, this girl knows what she likes: bold, dramatic accessories that stop you in your tracks. I mean, if I have to think about it? Debate it? It’s a no. The right piece has…
Modern, Chic, and Totally Unapologetic—This Style Shift Is Everything
I’m having a major Modern Girl moment—and honestly I think we all have a little bit of that energy in us. Think of it like this: Barbie wasn’t just one thing. She rocked city glam, nailed countryside chic, and still stayed true to herself. That’s how I live too. Some days, I’m all about…
Musings on Staying and Living Young
Staying young isn’t about stripping naked and running into water fountains at 2 in the morning. (Not that I ever did that when I was young.). But there is a spirit in those who seem to attain this seemly unattainable dream… as if they drank from the fountain of youth and now…
Modern Design Just Got a Glow-Up—and You’re Going to Love It
It probably won’t surprise you to hear this—but I’m completely obsessed with modern design.

It’s making a major comeback right now… but with a twist. This new wave…
The Drama Is in the Details: How I Turned Bookcases into a Dream “Destination!”
Styling bookcases might just be my ultimate happy place. I’m not even kidding—I could spend all day arranging and rearranging shelves. There’s something so satisfying about playing with height, depth, and layers to create a space that’s both beautiful and personal. The magic of bookcases is that they can whisper or shout—they can quietly…
I Took a Huge Design Risk—and It Might Be the Best Decision I’ve Ever Made
I made a huuuuge change this week in my closet. As in, I tried something that I have NEVER tried before. (yes! a tour is coming very soon!) It left me feeling slightly… cagey and uncertain … but then also exhilarated and… inspired. Being brave can feel terrifying and sometimes you…
This Is Your Sign to Stop Playing It Safe With Home Decor
Does your home feel a bit too meh? Nobody wants to look or feel meh! If you feel this way then it’s time up the cool factor in your home! We’re talking bold, unapologetic, and just a little bit rebellious (kind of like my animal print heels, but in room form)! Let’s…

Musings of the Art of Escape
Woohoo! Not only is it FRI-YAY but it’s also Spring Travel Season! This time of year is flurry of activity with everyone heading to the beach, to the mountains, and even for fun city escapes (hello, shopping, coffee, and museums! Anyone else?!). The best part of this time of year is that…
