Colorful Weekend

February 26, 2016

I am in the mood for a fun party. I couldn’t help but think of fun when I saw Katie Kime’s Austin home in Lonny a few months back. Her home is so cheerful and full of playful patterns that ease throughout the house with a collective aesthetic. I feel like Friday is deserving of

Perfectly Coiffed

February 23, 2016

Who doesn’t love good hair? I am a big fan of the blowout for any given occasion. Hair is big business in Texas. In fact, it is big business everywhere. Even the person on the tightest budget doesn’t flinch to spend good money on their everyday hair style. While I love perfectly coiffed hair, I

Boston Proper

February 22, 2016

Despite the emotional and traveling exhaustion of last week (see my previous post), I had already had a trip planned to Boston. The historic and vibrant city was a place I have only visited through the airport and for a college trip with my dad one Spring many years ago. Needless to say, I hadn’t

Reflecting and Remembering

February 16, 2016

I haven’t forgotten about all of my lovely boxwood followers. My grandmother passed away and I am currently spending time with family.  I will be back to you later this week or the following week. Despite the sadness, there is still so much beauty to share. XO- Christina This past July, celebrating her 90th birthday.

Love Life

February 10, 2016

Uhhh. My least favorite holiday is among us. Even my friends in relationships think that this holiday is pretty ridiculous. It is either a pre-fixe menu in a restaurant full of people who probably can’t afford to be there, or it is a quiet night in, that may feel like any night of the week. Of

Monkey Business

February 9, 2016

As I am sure many instagrams and blogs have told you, it is the Chinese New Year of the monkey! While the actual day of celebration was yesterday, we have the entire year and beyond to relish in the fun and quirky style of the monkey. For one, I have grown up around a bunch

Did you all watch that Beyonce and Coldplay concert last night? I think there was some football mixed in too?? I could say I rooted for the Panthers for my love of blue and white, but I am not that shallow…sometimes… In all seriousness, I actually did feel the desire to actively watch this Superbowl

Olympic Gold

I love a good instagram obsession, and I absolutely adore everything that Sig Bergamin posts. Everything is so posh and perfect, yet chic and relaxed. His style reflects the ease of a Brazillian lifestyle with a high focus on aesthetics. Punches of color, stark contrasts, and various textures are abundant in all of his projects. Bergamin adores

Door Jam

January 28, 2016

An absolutely hilarious event happened recently. I got a call from my trusty dad a bit out of breath. To put in kindly and mildly, he is not the “handy type.” Way more cerebral than crafty (which in my opinion is always a better quality). The problem is that he often attempts to fix things,

One Perfect Home

January 26, 2016

Every afternoon I like to drop into  One Kings Lane and see any fun sales worth pursuing. I am an internet wanderer. I start doing one thing and end up somewhere else entirely in a matter of five clicks. Usually when this happens I end up making weird purchases like this, but sometimes it leads you
