Valentine's Day Repost // Once Upon-A... Nothing
I’m not a big consumer. The list of things I want at any given time is usually pretty small. Very specific -- absolutely. But not grand. And not many. I simply don’t like a lot of stuff.

Soiree Season...
My weekend kicked off with a dreamy birthday gathering for a friend at her home, curated by born beautifier, Stephanie Sanders, of Shindig. It was an evening outdoors made heavenly with fireplace, flatbread pizza, and string lights. Other favorite elements of the night have succeeded in whisking me right into holiday soiree mode...

New Year's Eve
