Here’s what I pinned this week!

Pinterest is basically my brain on its best day—organized, inspired, and slightly delusional about how many projects I can tackle at one time!😂

One minute I’m pinning a dreamy kitchen with marble everything, the next I’m convinced I need to re-tile my bathroom and bake sourdough before lunch.

It’s my go-to for design inspo, travel dreams, perfect outfits, and those “wait… I could totally do that” moments that somehow turn into real life magic. Equal parts vision board and creative playground—and honestly, I’d be lost (and probably less fabulous) without it ✨

The absolute cutest cropped funnel neck trench!!

Navy is one of those colors that never goes out of style. It has the sophistication of black but feels softer and more layered, which is why it works beautifully in both interiors and fashion. It’s timeless, versatile, and pairs effortlessly with everything—from crisp whites and warm woods to brass, camel, and bold colors.

The depth of navy also adds instant richness to a space. Whether it’s cabinetry, millwork, furniture, or even a great blazer, navy anchors a look while still feeling elevated and approachable. Classic, confident, and always a strong choice. 🔵✨

Add a touch of green to your outfitt

Olive green is having a serious moment right now—and it’s easy to see why. This earthy, grounded tone brings warmth, depth, and a sense of calm to both interiors and wardrobes. It’s rich without being overpowering and neutral enough to pair beautifully with wood, stone, leather, and brass. Think of it as the sophisticated cousin to beige and taupe.

In fashion and design alike, olive green feels effortless, natural, and quietly luxurious. Whether it’s a velvet chair, kitchen cabinetry, a cozy throw pillow, or your favorite jacket, this shade instantly adds a layer of richness that feels timeless yet completely on trend. 🌿

How to Layer a Bed like a Designer

Layering a bed like a designer is all about creating depth, texture, and intention.

Start with crisp, high-quality sheets and a tailored coverlet or quilt as the foundation. Add a duvet or comforter that brings softness and volume, then fold it down slightly to reveal the layers beneath.

Next, build your pillow story: sleeping pillows in beautiful shams and/or cases, followed by one or two larger Euro pillows for height, and finish with one or two smaller decorative pillows or a lumbar for personality.

The key is mixing materials—linen, cotton, velvet, or boucle—and keeping the palette cohesive so the bed feels inviting, relaxed, and quietly luxurious rather than over-styled.

That may be a little overstated but…
Say hello to my favorite hue! Oh how I love using this in my design work - Black isn’t just dark and moody - it is disciplined. In both interiors and fashion, black is the element that brings structure, contrast, and quiet authority. A black window frame sharpens a view. A black island grounds a kitchen. A black lamp, coffee table, or cabinet detail creates intention. Just like the perfect black blazer or little black dress, it refines everything around it.

The key is restraint and placement. A touch of black adds depth. Repetition of black adds rhythm. And when layered thoughtfully — with warm woods, creamy whites, natural stone, or soft textiles — it feels anything but harsh. It feels confident. If your space (or outfit) feels flat, it may not need more… it may just need black. 🖤

Take a chance on red this Valentine’s Day. ❤️ It’s bold, confident, a little daring — and exactly what this season calls for. Whether you paint your front door a punchy lacquered red, toss a few fiery pillows onto your sofa, or introduce one statement piece of furniture that makes the whole room feel alive, red instantly energizes a space. Not ready to commit at home? Wear it. A fun red sneaker, a cute top, a vintage baseball hat, or even the chicest red manicure can completely shift your mood. Red isn’t just romantic — it’s powerful, joyful, and impossible to ignore. This is your sign to stop playing it safe and let a little red lead the way!❤️

Burgundy is having a moment this winter of and it is no surprise. It hits that sweet spot between richness and restraint. In fashion, it feels more luxurious than black but just as wearable—think tailored coats, leather boots, and evening knits that read timeless, not trendy.

In interiors, burgundy brings instant warmth and depth, especially as daylight fades; it layers beautifully with soft neutrals, creamy whites, walnut woods, and brushed brass.

On bedding and textiles, it feels cocooning and indulgent without tipping overly bold—quietly confident. Burgundy isn’t shouting for attention this season; it’s whispering sophistication. Here are a few fun things that will bring a little burgundy into your life!

The Color of the Moment!
Timeless, Moody, Elegant

My go-to winter airport look!

O Christmas Tree!
I went from four trees in my home last year to just one smaller tree this year, so I knew I needed to make it special. That said, I dressed up our tree by putting it into a fun white sphere pot from @crateandbarrel and added some pretty silver spheres from @cb2! I love how it turned out. Next up - decorating the tree!🎄

Who needs a bar or coffee station for the holidays?! I did and I love this sweet affordable find! With pretty fluted doors and a handle-free push to open design, it was the perfect choice. It is just under 50” so it fits almost anywhere and super easy to assemble (thanks David!).

I chose the gray alder but it also comes in light gray and black. A perfect addition for the holidays!🤍
