9 WALL MIRRORS I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF

It's no secret that decorating with mirrors makes a small space feel bigger. My mom gave me this gorgeous vintage mirror for my birthday but I thought I'd do a round-up of some favorites for anyone else who might be on the hunt!

Serena & Lily // One Kings Lane // Zinc Door

OUTFIT PLANNING FOR ALT SUMMIT

I can't believe Alt Summit is next week! I'm honored to be speaking on a panel with Beth, Janette, and Piper called "From Blog To Shop."
