An Evening of Collaboration


“As clothing wears, fades, stains and stretches, it becomes an intimate record of our physical presence. It traces the edge of the body, defining the boundary between the self and the outside world."



Does your closet have you feeling a little "Carrie Bradshaw pre-wedding to Big"?
Have you diagnosed your self with a closet full of nothing to wear syndrome?  Does it feel like every time you step foot in your closet you fall down a black hole of digging, tossing, and mis matching? There's no question that an organized closet can make for better dressing, but there's a distinct difference between an organized closet... and a dream closet. 



The keys to having it all in your wardrobe and the space it lives in are organization, light, and to have some fun! It's all about you and your personal style! 
Tomorrow, I'll be teaming up with Amy from W By Worth for a Night of Collaboration.. So let's get this party started! I've paired some of my favorite pieces from the W By Worth spring line and drool worthy dream closets to showcase just how much your personal style can make a difference. 


Classic, comfortable neutrals come together with a light filled faux finished wood floor. 


Glamor radiates with this chic tweed and lace slip dress and equally chic wall of mirrors. 



Take a walk on the wild side with this eclectic dressing room that would perfectly compliment this jacquard over blouse. 


Texture is key! Even small hints, like a blouse or a rug can make all the difference.



I can't wait to tell you all about what Amy and I scheme up over  Davenport Bellinis and the company of fantastic ladies.

Happy Spring!


It's finally here!! Tulips are sprouting, birds are chirping, and the sunshine is warm! 
We're so happy we could jump for joy.. much like these adorable Holsteins. 
I'm  taking a break from Ashley's teenage time travel to bring to you a few fun ideas for spring.

Just a little something to make you smile :-)


Nothing says spring to me more than the Forsythia bushes in bloom. Try filling your vases with wine corks, sliced lemons, or colored glass beads for a fresh effect. 



Speaking of lemons...
I love how this brings the sunshine in!


Nothing to fill those jars & vases? Lemons. 
They'll brighten up your kitchen and last a bit longer than flowers. 


Oranges and limes are also wonderful for adding bursts of color! 
These lidded hurricane jars are a staple for me in my sesonal decorating. 



Mason jars are one of my little design secrets. They're incredibly versitile!! 
I love the blue glass ones, but if non are to be found, they're also incredibly easy to paint with some fresh pastels. (Also very easy to paint old pasta sauce jars!)



I love this adorable moss terrarium idea. Perfect for a kitchen table or mantel top.  
Instead of tossing your bygone blooms in the compost heap because you think they won't flower again, wait for the leaves to die back naturally. Then, plant them in garden and feed them an organic fertilizer. (Narcissus and daffodil bulbs are more likely to respond, and bloom again)



Check back next week as Ashley continues our wild ride through the ages! 
(You won't want to miss our 80's decor!)

Sisterhood of the Traveling Bedrooms... The Fab Fifties.

Every era has a defining characteristic, something that rewinds you to the days gone past. 
For me, it's a teenage girl's bedroom.  
Maybe I'm just missing having Ashley home!  


Really, if you want an accurate portrayal of the trends today,  you should just take a peek upstairs, after all aren't those beautiful babies (hardly babies ...) our future?

Over the next few weeks, Ashley (no longer my brilliant teenager) is going to take you on a journey through the decades via the bedrooms that shaped generations. 

Enjoy my guest blogger.... 
All my best,


Today, we're stating with the 1950's, a decade that often stands out as one of America's best. It was an era that was charmed by Lucy and the Cleavers, created the interstate highway system, and fulfilled the goal of the suburban dream house.

For the average teenage girl, this meant one thing.. PINK!! 


Milk Glass Lamps were 'hip'! 



Pastel colors were all the rage, gracing not only bedrooms, 
but also kitchens, bathrooms, and even tail-fined cars. 

Other bright, lively colors were also found on the floors. 


This new age brought designers to mass produced furniture. 
Plastic, glass, and plexiglass were all new materials that were introduced.


That's all folks! 
Tune in next week for the 60's!!
