Two weeks ago I finally visited my modern luxe living room design for The Revery! The install had been finished shortly after Halo was born. Then, of course, quarantine struck.

There’s no labor of love quite like decorating a space to welcome a new baby! That’s why I’m so excited to delve into my modern girl nursery design with you guys. Each and every decor choice was one I poured my whole heart into. We created our nursery in partnership with Crate and Kids, and […]
When I first discovered Oak + Fort’s sleek, simple fashions, it was like stumbling upon a minimalist’s gold mine. The Canadian label is much-revered for their architectural approach to apparel, and I’ve gotten a ton of mileage from the pieces I’ve scored there. Think dresses with striking tailoring, pants with unusual pleating and proportions, and […]
I have to admit. While there have been some stressful moments in our preparations for baby’s arrival, on the whole the process has been so much fun. I’ve loved indulging in my nesting instinct!
