I designed this dining nook for a client. She has a corner area with low windows so I chose backless banquette seating. It's cozy. Most of the backless banquettes are wood. I wanted a more luxury designer look so I choose to use 2 upholstered benches and put them together. This is actually way less expensive than it looks. I chose a statement table to make it a focal point of the nook. Accents of pillows, rug, and wicker pendant light, finish off the coastal chic dining nook.

These have been one of the top products on LTK this week, and honestly — I get it. The reason comes down to two things: the waist placement and the length. The length is perfect for women 50+; not too short and not too long. A high waist shifts where the eye lands, so the leg reads longer. That's the detail most shorts get wrong — hit it right, and it becomes one of the most flattering pieces you own after 50. Hit it wrong, and the whole proportion falls apart. This pair gets both right, which is exactly why they're trending. Available in several colors — linked below. #denimshorts #dadshorts #womenover50 #womenover50fashion

I needed a home for my coffee situation and my little bar — and I needed it off the counters. My beautiful quartz deserves better than a bunch of extra stuff covering it!
When I renovated the kitchen, there was a nook originally designed for a small table. But with a counter bar and a dining table already in the plan, another eating space made no sense — so I gave that nook a better job.
This beverage center fit the space perfectly, and then I did what I always do — I couldn't leave it as-is. The white doors got repainted to match my white cabinets exactly, and the black knobs got a gold spray paint upgrade to match my cabinet handles.
Because the best piece in a room is one that looks like it was always meant to be there.
Coffee and cocktails, all in one spot. Life is good. ☕🥂

This is a popular product recently on LTK and I can see why. A textured comforter set is one of those easy bedroom upgrades that instantly makes a room feel more styled and pulled together.

Designer tip: when you’re decorating with a monochromatic color palette, texture is what keeps the space from looking flat. Layering in a woven, quilted, tufted, or subtly patterned comforter adds depth, softness, and visual interest while still keeping the room calm and cohesive.

This one is perfect if you love a clean, cozy, elevated bedroom look without adding more color.

Shop this textured comforter set here on LTK.

Chillin at the beach in a Comfort Colors sea turtle shirt. It's nesting turtle season.

The sea turtles dig holes in the sand and lay their eggs. They then cover the eggs with sand to protect them from predators and harsh temperatures.

I've been using red light masks for about 4 years. My first one was from OmniLux and I loved it. When it would no longer hold a charge, I switched to a new one that includes a piece for under the chin. Since I'm dealing with jowls at my age, I'm happy to have the extra red light help for that area. Red light masks are easy to use. I wear it about 4 days a weeks for 10 minutes each time. I can work on my computer while I'm wearing it so it doesn't cut into my busy schedule. And I feel it does make a difference to my skin. #redlightmask #omnilux #omniluxled

Create the look of a custom banquette—without actually building one. Use two backless benches to form an L-shape in a corner dining nook, especially in spaces where windows sit too low for traditional banquette backs. Choose benches with clean, square edges (not curved) so they align seamlessly and feel intentional. This approach keeps the space open, maximizes seating, and works around tricky window placements while still delivering that cozy, built-in look.

Spring is a great time to think about swimsuit cover ups. I have 3 of this type of swim dress/cover up UPF 50+. I wear them a lot - walking on the beach, paddleboarding, kayaking, and more. They offer great sun protection which is good for all ages. But women over 50 will especially appreciate the full coverage. My ideal day includes one of these coverups over my swimsuit with flip flops and a big brim hat. These flip flops are my favorite. They have arch support and they can go from beach to out to lunch. They're a little elevated from plastic flip flops. If you're thinking of buying this type of swimsuit cover up, consider this cute one with the tassels for a unique look. #swimsuitcoverup #flipflops #strawhat #strawtote #bathingsuitcoverup
