WEEKEND WARDROBE


Thanks to all your awesome recommendations, I have a fun-packed weekend in Austin ahead of me! I couldn't be more excited. If you want to see what we're up to, be sure to follow along on Instagram! In terms of travel clothes, I kept it super unfussy so we can do lots of walking before my feet start to hurt. Love the look above? Great news: the sunglasses, ring, wallet, shorts, and weekender are all under $75. Happy weekend indeed! xx



GET THE LOOK: SOFA STYLING


I think I finally have the furniture layout of my new apartment figured out so now it's time to decide where to hang everything. I can't decide whether to keep my mirror over the sofa like it is right now or whether to mix it up and hang a gallery wall there (lots of gallery wall inspiration here). When I found this tour of interior designer Ali Fuge's apartment, I was instantly smitten with her sofa styling and thought I'd put together a little guide to getting the look...

I used to sell framed vintage silk scarves in my boutique but it cost an arm and a leg to ship them. So instead I'd find yourself a silk scarf you like on Etsy or at a flea market, order a custom frame (I buy mine here), and admire your one-of-a-kind find. Thoughts on this look? What do you have above your sofa?
