FIORE MAXI curated on LTK

This is my “come over here and spill the tea” look, and I plan on wearing some variation of this every day until fall. I’m usually in cotton dresses during the week, but this beautiful silk number from @nataliemartincollection is the perfect dressed up caftan option. Totally timeless and luxuriously comfortable.

Adding a little extra glow to our balcony with this @graypantsstudio LED Wick candle ✨ It perfectly lights up our balcony for evening happy hours (though it’s the real MVP as my night light when I go to bed too late…). Definitely a splurge, but so well designed.

This feels like the exact vibe I want to cultivate all summer long — perfect spring temperatures, flowy white sundress, wildflowers, and sunny skies included ☀️

Sezane does it again with this backless dress 💙

#LTKSeasonal

Frolicking on the Virginia mountains on a perfect 75-degree late May afternoon. This pretty and lightweight @walkerandwade dress is the stuff of summertime dreams 🤍

Classic + simple

#LTKSeasonal

In my Ina Garten era.

#LTKFestival

Coastal season has begun, and these @frankandeileen pieces are basically the capsule wardrobe of coastal.

#LTKSeasonal

This gorgeous blue and white dress is comfy for wearing around the house, chic with gold earring and sandals, and it’s on sale for $40!

#LTKfindsunder50 #LTKSeasonal

Mid-May and I’m still in jeans and long-sleeve tops? This is my kind of spring. And, yes, I’ve found the perfect pair of white jeans — the Galway jeans from @frankandeileen are incredibly comfy, wide leg but not flare, and have a casually sophisticated look. I’ve worn them with heeled sandals for a night out and flats for day. Definitely an “I’m wearing them no less than three times a week” spring and summer item.

#LTKSeasonal

Glassware can match without ~matching~. These Highgate lowball tumblers and drinking glasses from @smithhonig all have the same intricate detailing but I mixed up the jewel tones for a richly colorful look. I added in sage linen napkins, also from @smithhonig, to tie the look in with the room. It feels deep and saturated, but still vibrant enough for spring and summer.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKhome

Block print summer begins.

Keeping coastal grandmother a thing this year

#LTKSeasonal

These white jeans are going to be my summer staple 🙌

#LTKSeasonal

Ended up with a dreary day in DC, but I’ll be back here for a hopefully sunny day next week to open the pool and, hopefully, put this darling matching block print cover up + tote from @rockflowerpaper to use 💙

I used Samplize samples when I chose the blue-green for my dining room, so I was back at it for the exterior of the house. This decision felt SUPER weighty because, if we got it wrong, that’s a $$$ decision. I ordered 8 samples from Samplize ranging from a dark sage green to a blue-green gray. It was a super quick process to narrow it down to three, then I left those up all week (through torrential downpours!). Coming home to the big samples all week gave me a better idea of what the colors would look like than if I just stood outside with swatches. On the last morning, we went with the dark horse candidate — one I threw in my Samplize cart on a whim. And it looks GORGEOUS on the house. Truly a night and day transformation (though every time I say that, I think actually the house looks like night now, whereas it was day yelllow before...).

Also, I’ve linked all the colors we ended up using on LTK! There’s both @sherwinwilliams and @benjaminmoore in there — @samplize has both, along with a bunch of other brands!

#ad — after using @samplize before on my own!

#LTKhome

The perfect lightweight dress for that first warm spring day. Love this little cotton number from @never_a_wallflower 🩵

#LTKSeasonal

Why, yes, I did coordinate with my bedroom at the cottage 💚

#LTKstyletip

Over here not complaining that these cool temps are letting me wear all the spring jackets that usually get skipped right over in the mid-Atlantic winter to summer pipeline. This gorgeous brocade number from @etceteranyc is begging me to plan a night out at the Kennedy Center ASAP.

Running off to meet a friend for a weekday lunch in this lovely silk and cotton voile blouse from @etceteranyc, which has the prettiest block print look. I styled it with jeans and ballet pink flats today for a 67-degree afternoon, but it's going to look so chic with white jeans as we get later into the season.

My third pair of @printfresh pajamas, and I’ve fully committed to the crisp cotton sleepwear life. (And I just found out these are designed nearby in Philly!)

@printfresh is also doing 20% off for International Women’s Day with code IWD24 — I’ve linked the three pairs I have, and I always go a size up to a Medium for a roomy fit!

There are still a slew of outstanding details on our punch list (hang the other half of the drapery once the additional rings come in! door hinges! door knob for the closet!* sash lifts! vent covers! maybe sconces?! finial for the china cabinet!), but at least it feels done in here with this gorgeous @ballarddesigns drapery and @ruggable rugs. We 👏 are 👏 getting 👏 there 👏

*Yes, there’s a linen closet in the dining room! A seriously genius move on someone’s part at some point.

The loveliest way to start the morning surrounded by pretty blues and in this scalloped @heidicareydesign robe with a chinoiserie-inspired gardenia print (one of my favorite flowers!). I received a few DMs when I posted this on stories, and it’s such a nice weight. Light but not so light that it’s sheer, and the belt is attached, which is a surprisingly luxurious detail. I’ve linked a few favorite prints on LTK!

I missed last week’s #52weeksofhome self portrait week, but better late than never? There’s no spot I’d rather be than right on these chairs looking out at the water, hot mug of coffee in hand, and the whole morning ahead of me.

#LTKMostLoved #LTKSeasonal

These darling @sunshinetienda earrings, inspired by Mexican Talavera tiles and made from painted horn, are a nice pink touch for Valentine’s Day, but I’m most excited to wear them this summer with block print dresses.

Staying at The Cavalier Resort has been on our bucket list for ages, and we finally had a good excuse this past weekend while visiting Virginia Beach for a friend’s birthday weekend. I wanted to pack light-ish, so I stuck to a few comfortable, effortless pieces from @frankandeileen that I knew would look both casual and pulled together. These felt just as sophisticated as the hotel itself (and so easy!).

Here’s what I wore:

A casual daytime look with the Rory Maxi Shirtdress with cowboy boots and a big silk scarf — I added the Shirley Oversized Button-Up in Vintage White Denim when the temperatures dropped
The Aspen Travel Set for chilly beach walks, layered with the Shirley Oversized Button-Up in Vintage White Denim (again)
Staying comfortable yet tailored enough to go to brunch in the Shirley Oversized Button-Up in Pink Flannel and my trusty Cork Jeans

Want to shop the looks I packed? Find all of these @frankandeileen pieces on my LTK! #frankandeileen #frankandeileenpartner #wearloverepeat

Cleaning out my camera roll and found this snap from an unsuccessful day trip to Round Top (spoiler: only go on the weekend if it’s the off season!), but I’ve got one of my favorite outfits — block print dress from Eastern Market, utility jacket from @frankandeileen, vintage ostrich cowboy boots found in Austin.

Tracked these boots down on Poshmark after over a decade 🙌

We're en route home from a cozy winter getaway in North Carolina, where we were greeted with true winter temperatures. This boiled merino wool with its own bow scarf was my way to stay polished and warm while facing the wind and chilly air out in a new-to-me wine country. The scalloped black embroidery is the most darling detail, and I loved pairing it with a different look than I have previously — dark jeans, cognac booties, and a thick ivory knit turtleneck. @etceteranyc #etcetera, #etceteranyc #etceterawinter2023

#LTKSeasonal #LTKsalealert #LTKHoliday

We certainly didn’t bargain for a massive storm to interrupt our trip to festive Blowing Rock, NC, but here we are! We made the best of it and, today on the blog, I’m sharing all of the looks that I packed for our winter getaway, including:

• Travel outfit with a cozy rust corduroy oversized shirt and the most comfortable jeans
• Cozy yet elegant evening out look with a black knit dress and tartan scarf
• Warm layers for frigid winter days, including winter white corduroy
• A winter white flannel layered with cozy brown and neutrals
• The best sweatshirt and sweatpant set for relaxing around the house

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

The festive season continues! I'm headed to The Nutcracker tonight, and this elegant ivory jacket with a graceful horseshoe neckline and ladylike black velvet bows from @etceteranyc feels just right for the occasion. I paired it with lace black pants that I've had for years and a black velvet headband for the most classic holiday look (that's perfect right through the rest of the winter!).

Love a piece but not sure how to wear it? They also offer free virtual styling services on their website! #ad (plus, their winter sale, up to 50% has just started!)

Forgot about these golden hour photos we snapped at the ranch last month, just happened upon the perfect sun glow after a late afternoon trip to Storm’s 😂
