Happy Friday!  I couldn’t be more glad that the weekend is upon us.  Aaron is going to be working most of this weekend, so I am making plans to indulge in a new book and take advantage of the 80 degree weather.  (Sorry, babe!)  What are all of you up to this weekend?  If your plans include some fun in the sun, it might be a good time to pick up a summer hat.  I never spend very much on … +more

My favorite thing about tarts, quiche, and other egg based dishes (omelettes, too!) is that they lend themselves to a little bit of experimentation and creativity.  You can simply open up your refrigerator door and pull out all of the leftover veggies, herbs, and cheeses from the week’s previous meals, and then come up with your own unique combination!  I have been wanting to expand my repertoire of quick and delicious appetizers for mid-week shindigs that arise on the fly, … +more

Hi friends!  How are your weeks thus far?  After spending the last two weeks prepping and styling a job, this week I have some major catching up to do!  One thing I did manage to accomplish first thing this week was booking our first summer vacation of the season!  We rented a house in St. Thomas with a few other friends and will be spending a week pool side, gazing out at the clear, blue Caribbean Sea… Eeek!  I can … +more

The other day I was flipping through Elle Decor, ogling some pretty chic spaces, and having major interior style envy.  My favorite photos are always those detail shots of some perfectly put together shelf or nook.  When done correctly, these vignettes balance the perfect amount of color and pattern without looking overly busy, and the perfect amount of items as to not look cluttered.  Since I was swooning madly for this particular styled set up, I decided to break it down … +more

 The tale of this trench coat is one we all know too well.  You plan for a vacation.  You read all of the books.  You check the weather.  You make a packing list.  You pack everything on said list… and still, somehow, there is always that one item that you wish would have magically made it’s way into your suitcase.  Last month when I was in Melbourne, all signs pointed to warm, sunny days.  The first day lived up to … +more

Does anybody else suffer from empty wall syndrome?  We are having our house photographed for a popular shelter site next month, so I am currently on a mission to cure our wall art woes!  Art can be pricey, though, so it’s nice to mix big statement pieces in with smaller ones from lesser known, but equally talented artists.  These 5 prints would make the perfect addition to a gallery wall or could stand along nicely in their own small nook. … +more

Feeling the itch to spring clean and freshen up your décor but don’t know where to begin? Start small with your closet! For this week’s post, we (Caitlin & Caitlin) are bringing you the expertise of style organizer to the stars, Lisa Adams of LA Closet Design.  Closets are a fabulous place to launch a functional and beautiful design endeavor. Since you’re working with minimal square footage, the task is managable and the potential to pack in a lot of … +more

Lately I have found myself trying to soak up every last minute of spring.  From farmers market shopping for the latest produce that’s in season (the grapefruits lately have been incredible!), to getting my hands on all of these wildflowers that are popping up!  My favorite thing about using wildflowers is that they’re supposed to be wild.  No perfectly placed dahlias and ranunculus here, just pops of irreverent bright color and stems in all directions.  If you’re not that comfortable … +more
