Caught my eye

Blue-footed boobies sweatshirt I am a sucker for puns, I love them. I also am going through all of the Donna Andrews books again on audiobook and so birds are at the forefront of my mind.

Fall lookbook

My fall look this year is leaning toward "professorial." I just love that slightly preppy, casual yet dressy look. Here are my thoughts for some items: Corduroy skirt // Sweater Blazer // houndstooth skirt // button corduroy skirt // wide leg trouser // striped short sleeve sweater // cable knit sweater vest // plaid trousers …

Harry Potter potion bottles

One of my favorite Halloween decorations is our potion bottle display. This year I found Harry Potter potion labels and immediately ordered them. I am so happy with the quality, and there are so many different options. They look like they are straight out of the movies, and I love the Harry Potter halloween aesthetic …

Better than mimosas

What can be better than a mimosa you may ask? Why, a peach bellini! I was wandering around the local liquor store looking for some Veuve (they have a crap champagne selection and nothing is organized well), and I walked past this Stirrings Simple Peach Bellini mix. The packaging got me, it looked so good! …

Sunnies, Shades, Sunglasses

R.I.P aviators. I am looking to replace my sunglasses, which have been beat up to high heaven. I'm talking so scratched that I can hardly see through them. I bought my current pair of Ray-Bans 5 years ago to replace my Ray-Ban Aviators which I was obsessed with but the nose piece finally broke off …

The many iterations of my Wildflower Garden.

In 2020, we decided to make a bit of our yard a wildflower garden. We threw some seeds down and basically just let it grow how it wants. No pruning, weeding, design, just wild. (I did pull some blue flowers up because they turned into burrs and it was a nightmare to pick out of …

Lavender Simple Syrup and Lattes

The mint in our garden is going wild, so I decided to make some mint simple syrup. As I was making it, I was looking out of our kitchen window and saw the lavender in full bloom and had the idea to make some lavender simple syrup as well! I am so glad I did. …
