This goes for everything from old dressers, to patio furniture, to accent pieces around the house. I recently redecorated my daughter’s room and on a whim, decided to […]
Continue ReadingGrowing up I always knew that my dad was a huge Star Wars fan. I remember watching a few of the movies here and there, but I was so young that I didn’t really remember the plot (or even the character’s names – let’s be honest). In 1999 when I was a junior in high […]

Continue ReadingI absolutely love the task of transitioning my wardrobe with each season – and when I shop I really try to choose each piece with care and purpose – I look for pieces that I can see myself wearing in several different ways but I also try to make sure and choose a few items that […]
Continue ReadingI know that it is hard to believe but Easter is RIGHT around the corner. As a mom, I’m always on the lookout for fun ways to take items that we love and eat on a regular basis, and jazz them up a bit with the seasons (like these awesome Mummy Juice Boxes for Halloween). Both […]

My Anglophilia was spiraling almost out of control today when I started seeing photos popping up on my feed of Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, visiting the London set of Downton Abbey at Ealing Studios.
