I had so many wonderful comments and messages on my Instagram reel today that I don’t even really know how to respond… I am speechless-ish. I am sharing this on substack too because I want to make sure everyone sees it… but this will be the only overlap Last Thursday when I returned home from …
You Let Me Drown… You Didn’t Even Try to Save Me
What I’m Wearing… YES, I know, it’s rather boring lately, but I’m forcing myself to get more consistent here, as a way to inspire and motivate MYSELF back into being more of MYSELF (because it worked on substack), instead of this lame mountain woman I’ve become. And also YES, I’m having 100 midlife crisis’ if …
Find Me Under the Light… Diamonds Under My Eyes
Obligatory “Barbie in the box” photo op 😉 …Stunned that my arm pose was on point! 😂 I only wish I had worn my pink and white gingham dress! What I’m Wearing… * Pink maxi dress with cut-out from Hollister (I think Chad has bought me almost every dress they make at this point and …
Turn Your Magic on, Everything you Want’s a Dream Away
What I’m Wearing… * Grey and white gingham dress tho it looks lavender in the photos and even slightly in real life 😉 (I have it in pink and white too because I just love it – it’s not only insanely comfortable (in a muumuu kind of way) it also feels ultra feminine while also …
I’m Unstoppable Today… I Win Every Single Day
What I’m Wearing… * Pink tropical print cut-out romper from Hollister (Chad bought me every color and print they had in this cute little romper last year (and the year before actually 🤔) and since it’s WARM AND BEAUTIFUL, I thought it time to bring them back out. I feel slightly boring in sharing my …
May Flowers and Thoughts on Life and Perspective
I’ve been thinking a lot about perspective lately… and I think, as much as we sometimes forget that life isn’t happening to us and that we aren’t victims of life, but instead we are creating our life minute by minute, day by day, year by year… our perspective truly defines how we interpret our lives …
You Kept Me Warm With All Your Sugarcoats
What I’m Wearing… * V Secret Fold-over Black yoga leggings – still my all-time favorite leggings hands down. * Black turtleneck sweater * Light brown coat from Pendleton, which I’ve worn almost every time I’ve gotten actual-dressed (like not in sweats – and actually even sometimes in sweats!) and left the house this winter * …
DIY Rug Hack // How to Shorten a Rug or Runner with Tassels
I doubt this post is going to be that exciting BUT I feel like it’s pretty informative IF you’re interested in shortening a rug so it fits your space better… so if you’re into that kinda thing, then keep reading 🙂 Rather than two small rugs, I wanted a long runner for my little bathroom …
DIY / How To Turn a Ceiling Fan into a Pendant Lamp without Re-wiring
This DIY should technically fall under Renter Hacks because if I owned this place I would have simply hired someone to remove this ceiling fan and install a pendant lamp and call it a day (I don’t mess with electrical). But sometimes having constraints forces you to get a little creative and that’s just what …
And Fade it Out Just Like a Setting Sun
What I’m Wearing… * Vintage pink sweater from the 80s (locally thrifted recently) and it’s probably more of a dusty rose or mauve. Everything was MAUVE in the 80s. I also recently bought a MAUVE lamp at a different local thrift shop for the MAUVE lampshade it had. She wouldn’t sell me the shade alone, …
Black Friday I’m In Love // A Few of My New Favorite Things…
Happy Friday Lovecats! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, if you do celebrate, and if not, I hope you had a wonderful Thursday! I, for one, had a really nice day with my mom and stepdad, filled with zero stress and much laughter and of course, great food. I ended the evening cozy cuddling …
Sunday House Crush // Little Apple A-Frame Mountain Cabin
As a Lake Arrowhead local and business owner (Dogwood Tavern in Blue Jay and Dogwood Dockside at the Marina) I follow as many (if not all) local businesses on the mountain and their Instagram accounts, including the Airbnb’s, and while there are so many truly adorable and perfectly remodeled rental cabins up here, the Little …
Sunday House Crush // The Ultimate Oasis in Santa Barbara
Based solely on the exterior, I would not call this house an oasis, and to be honest, those weren’t my words anyway, but stolen from the listing, however, I do find this home oddly appealing with its expansive modern spaces designed with an old European vibe that I’m just drooling over. It’s confusing to describe …
Book Review & Thoughts on Rules For Being a Girl
* Rules For Being a Girl by Candace Bushnell & Katie Cotugno This might seem a little bit silly to say considering I’m 45 years old and referring to YA (young adult) literature, complete with teen angst and problems I left behind almost 30 years ago… BUT OMG THIS BOOK WAS INCREDIBLE! Okay, incredible might …
Old World Meets Contemporary Inside Gwyneth Paltrow’s Home
I stumbled upon Gwyneth Paltrow’s Architectural Digest home tour the other day on youtube and just HAD to share. You may have seen it already, because there are almost 2 million views at this point BUT if you haven’t seen it, give the video a quick watch because it’s a truly unique and beautiful home …
