Santa Monica

Santa Monica
During our trip to California, me and my sister took a little day trip to Santa Monica. We had so much fun. We had a  delicious brunch at Barney’s Beanery, we took in the unique surroundings, and the even more unique people. It was so much fun relaxing with the oceans cool breezes (unlike our stifling heat in Charleston) and eating churros on the pier. I know the pier is a huge tourist spot, but I don’t care I love it, I just love all the different people. Me and my sister had... Read More

Sunny California!

Sunny California!
A few weeks back my sister and I took a trip to Los Angeles to see my mother get honored with a fellowship award for city planning. It was great to be back in the city and visit some of my favorite areas from my short stint working in the city. We took a trip to Santa Monica, drove out to “Old Town” Pasadena, and had a great dinner in “China Town”. It was somewhat surreal going from Charleston, SC to Los Angeles, CA, one side of the country to the other in one day,... Read More

Hello everyone, I haven’t done a style post in a while and wanted to share my favorite color for spring, MINT! This color seems to be everywhere and I love it. It has such a delicate but playful hue to it and I am hoping sometime in the near future to incorporate this color into my wardrobe and maybe add some colorful designs for the studio, but until then take a look at some of my favorite uses for this color!

Pantry Organization

Pantry Organization
Those that know me best realize I am at my happiest when everything is organized and in its rightful place, yes I am a “Type A” personality. Unfortunately, just because I would like everything in its place does not mean it always is. Last week I decided to try and complete the organization of my pantry, while the boyfriend was out of town. I thought this would be an easy two day project at most, well it ended up taking me most of the week, but when I final finished it was worth... Read More

Brunch at Butcher & Bee

Brunch at Butcher & Bee
This past weekend my sister made reservations at Butcher & Bee for brunch and it was so much fun! Its this great new restaurant in downtown Charleston with a very rustic natural feel. The food is all fresh to order, with fresh ingredients, and the menu changes daily. It reminded me of fine dining food in a rustic little sandwich shop! Butcher and Bee Indoor seating Outdoor seating The seating is communal inside, you order and pay at the counter, then take a seat anywhere you like.... Read More

Pallets, Frames, & Flowers

Pallets, Frames, & Flowers
Okay I do have a slight obsession with pallets and crates. They are just so versatile and you can use them for just about anything. Me and the boyfriend have used vintage coke crates to make a shelf in our bedroom, we used old wine crates to organize our pantry, and now my handy man boyfriend anchored a large old wooden pallet to a  blank spot in our living room, and now we have a perfect place for picture frames and nic naks. Pallet Shelf   First thing first is to find a pallet,... Read More
