Jane Birkin Style

Oh, the coveted Birkin Bag—how did it all begin? With the resurgence of styling our handbags with charms, scarves, and more, the name Jane Birkin has become a common search on Google and TikTok. The first time I saw a post, I was riveted and ended up down a rabbit hole, soaking up all the information I could. It is a simple story that has become an intense desire for the iconic and costly bag.

9/11.  Twenty-three years.  The losses, the heroes, the tragedy, it is still so hard to process even this many years later.

Rifle Paper Co. x Target New Collection

I have loved Rifle Paper Co. for years. Before the world knew of Anna Bond’s magic, you could shop in their Winter Park, Florida store off Park Avenue. Her colors and whimsical art have always captured a special place for me. I am always drawn to her designs and products; something about them makes me happy.

New Life to Old Places ...

I love a good before-and-after; who doesn't?  But give me a great before-and-after, and I am wholly invested. especially an old home you found in disrepair and are spending some serious time and energy on it, and I will follow you off a cliff. I have seen many of them online that I am very invested in and happy to share so we can all watch together. 

Fall Edit ...

Creating Shell Art

Anytime I am near the ocean I find myself craving to hunt for shells.  I think my first memory of hunting for shells was with my grandparents who had friends in Sanibel Island who owned a shell shop.  We spent hours with them at the beach hunting for the best of the best which they would carry home, clean up, and sell in their shop.  The hunt was so much fun.  Thinking you would find nothing and then having handfuls of shells you could barely carry back to hunt in their books for the names and coloring.  It felt a lot like thrifting does today; what will you find, and if you locate the rare shell, there is no describing that feeling. 

Celebrating in Jupiter, Florida

When my husband was in the hospital, more specifically in the ICU, I asked him what he wanted to do when we finally got out and went home. He told me very specifically, "I want to watch the moon rise over the ocean in Jupiter."  Five years later, on our anniversary week, we did exactly that. At about 2 a.m. on Wednesday morning, he watched the stunning white moon rise over the ocean in his favorite place, Jupiter, Florida. 

Memorial Day Sales

Oh, the sales are so good this weekend.  If you have an eye on anything, this is the time to check the price.  I am not shopping for anything specific but I will say I have been tempted by so much.  I made a list of sales for you, all of which are amazing.  As in, epic.
