I would live here in a perfect world.

This family has managed to create my dream house, without ever having met me! Qualifier: I die for white interiors but I might tone down the crispity-crispness of the sitting room, especially. The outdoor shower sold me. Feast your eyes.

Subtle Christmas

This gorgeous Swedish home is decorated just enough for my taste. There are subtle and thoughtful touches everywhere but none of the typical, overwhelming cheese that seems to accompany most decor I see. First of all, the home is quite chic on its own and the seemingly effortless air has carried over into holiday decorations. Just lovely.

Happy (almost) Holiday Weekend

Here’s hoping we all have magical weekends complete with frivolity and fun. I’m feeling heady with the promise of a few days off next week surrounded by friends and family. My beau is whisking me off to South Arkansas where we will eat, drink, go to an island in the Mississippi River, sit by the fire and inevitably see Harry Potter. This weekend looks to be the very last warm one we’ll have before we slip into holiday season and look forward to Spring.

Comfortable Corners

Doesn’t this weather make you feel like hibernating?

Menagerie

Sometimes (lots of times) I feel like I live in a much less glamorous version of this.

Double Life

I love this editorial for the transition from professional to personal life and what that entails.

Two Lovely Things

Up-swept hair, comfy knits, ladylike heels and lush accessories…

Fantastically feminine, mirrors everywhere…
