Good morning! I am currently in a very charming Mexican town today (and for the week), so stay plugged in to instagram for some visual eye candy. I will return with a post on Monday! Buenas Dias and Happy Summer! XO  

As I am in the air heading back for a quick stop in Dallas, I am reflective of the lovely weekend I had celebrating my grandmother’s 90th birthday in North Carolina. Sadly, it wasn’t a cool mountain break from the Florida heat, but instead the Sandhills of Carolina, where the humidity was ready and waiting. As any true “heat” escape artist knows,

Turning ninety is no small feat. My grandmother will be celebrating her big 9-0 this weekend in North Carolina. The town she lives in is quite lovely and immensely full of southern charm. The homes are visions in white clapboard, painted shutters, and picket fences. Surrounded by fresh pines, the landscape is splashed with green and

When I was younger I always had a complex about my brows. They are full, which I blame entirely on my dad. My mom loved(s) them. She would never let me touch them, but only get waxed professionally and only to “clean them up” never to shape them. Her way to get my middle school

I was recently going through a special edition of Southern Living: Small Space Ideas. It is a fantastic issue that I highly recommend purchasing for inspiration for those jewel box spaces. While big new homes tend to have a place for everything and fresh sense of self, I think small charming homes are a little more

In many places, especially Florida, driveways are often the first thing you see. Let’s face it, they are not often pretty. Your average overhead garage door and cement driveway are most likely not as pretty as your front entrance. Just because it is not the norm, doesn’t mean it is not possible. I think any

I hope my last posts have inspired you to get some wanderlust and set some travel plans in motion. That said, there is no greater feeling than when the wheels are down on your homeland’s soil (wherever your homeland may be).
