I haven’t been this excited about a bag in a long time.  I generally play it pretty safe when it comes to my handbags, but this year’s trend, built upon a solid foundation of tantalizing everyone in 2017, is practical AND fun.  I’m SO in!

Straw means SUMMER.  At least it does to me.  My mom had several straw bags when I was a kid and my favorite was always the one with fruit sewn on to it.   I think she bought in it Mexico, or at least that’s how I remember it.  Either way, I remember running my hands over the fruit as I held the bag in my lap on the way to the pool.  I liked the texture and the bright colors and therefore from then until all eternity I will associate straw bags with Summer.

Fashion has really upped its game in 2018.  (Thanks a LOT fashion gods!)  With so many beautiful straw bags being offered I want to cry!  How am I ever to choose just one?!  They are ALL so cute!!  Which one is your favorite?  Are you ready to carry a piece of summer with you?  Click the pics for more on each bag!  (I may have already ordered one or two…)

Already voting for an ENDLESS FALLand it’s just Already voting for an ENDLESS FALLand it’s just getting started!! 🍂 🎃 

Comment FALL to get the links! 👏🏽 🍁 

Guys! Fall is here and I’m enjoying this year more than any before!! The leaves are just starting to change and even as I watch one little lonely leaf falling, the excitement and anticipation of the fall spectacle of leaves is making me jump up and down! 

I know! So silly but it’s just so beautiful, isn’t it?! I love the warmth, the coziness, the soup bubbling on the stove, the warm candlelight flickering in the evening light, the pumpkin cakes baking in the oven, the long cozy nights spent cuddling on the couch under the fur blankets (and laughing as someone sticks their cold toes on the other’s leg! Ewww hahaha) 

I’m 1000% here for it and I’m soaking up every single second!!!

I hope you are enjoying the season as well! 

Sending a big hug and a kiss for each cheek! XxV

Guys!! If there’s one thing I love about decorating - it’s decorating for free! Your backyard (or even front yard!) are full of great decor! Nature walks become a treasure hunt and your world inside your home can reflect all the beautify of the outdoors. 

Your vessels, vases, bowls, trays… they all become art with these additions!

But why stop there?! What about the food you eat? Bowls of nuts, trays of dried fruit, vessels overflowing with butternut squash and pumpkins?! Eeekkk! It’s all so beautiful! It’s such an honest way to create seasonal decor while also making seasonal living even better! 

Your books? Don’t leave them sitting crammed on a shelf! Open them up to a favorite page that inspires you to live well and even what’s on the menu this week!

The best things in life really are free and you wouldn’t believe the things you can use to create these magnificent moments of joy in your life!

The only question now is… should we make butternut squash chili, butternut squash soup in sourdough bowls or roast them with maple & brown sugar? 

Love you all! XxV

Eeekkk!!! Guys!!! It’s BACK IN STOCK!!! Commen Eeekkk!!! Guys!!! It’s BACK IN STOCK!!! 

Comment TREE to get the link!!! 🎄 ✨ 

Sorry to break from fall for a minute but the Grand Duchess is BACK IN STOCK!! I waited a year to get mine last year and they sold out so fast that I couldn’t get more for our own home or projects so I already bought two more!! They are WORTH THE HYPE!! I’m tearing up just thinking about how pretty it is with the twinkling lights (& Jack is trying to convince me to put them up now! Haha!)

But seriously, this tree is 1/5 of the price of the designer versions and is truly exquisite!

Ok! I’ll stop talking so you can go get yours!  Yipppeeeee!!!!!
