Easy Breezy

There's something about this look that feels perfectly suited for a Friday afternoon: the loose-fitting top, the perfect navy tote, and the platform sandals that will take you from day to night...

It's precisely what I'd like to be wearing this weekend. (I'm desperate for a budget-friendly alternative to the shoes!) What are your big plans? Have a good one!


P.S. Ashley Brooke Designs is hosting a Design Darling giveaway! That's right — you could win a monogrammed business card holder and monogrammed pencil cup. What are you waiting for? Enter HERE.


P.P.S. I was interviewed by Jen from Your Style and I'd love for you to check it out!

Stacked Books

I love an idea that translates well in virtually any interior and this is one of the easiest: stacking your books for a look that's lived in and personal. Pick your favorite titles and deck out your bookshelves or prop them next to your bedside. For a little inspiration, look no further:
Different, right? I love all the little boxes they're styled with too. No matter where you live or how tight you are on space, it's an easy way to inject a little personal style.

P.S. Design books are one of my ultimate indulgences — but I always buy them on sale at Joss & Main or One Kings Lane. Sign up to be kept in the loop on upcoming deals!

Design Darling on DailyCandy!

This week I had the pleasure of seeing one of my Design Darling products featured in the (virtual) pages of DailyCandy, one of my daily newsletter reads. Here's what they had to say about the boutique and my #ThingsWeLove pencil set...


Thanks, DailyCandy! I love that they highlighted what great gifts we have for weddings because I've worked with a few fabulous brides to whip up custom orders for their big day — monogrammed pencil cups in white for bridesmaids, monogrammed key fobs for groomsmen, matchboxes for favors, you name it! I'll also be expanding the monogrammed acrylic assortment very soon so stay tuned! (Make sure you're on the mailing list here.)
