Color Inspiration: The Road Less Traveled

Our latest lookbook, “The Road Less Traveled,” is one of my favorites to date. There’s so much to take in from each image that I find myself looking at them again and again, letting my eyes travel from the clothes and jewelry to the hair and makeup, and the beautifully printed backdrops, taking my time to soak it all in. The girl in this lookbook is a bohemian wanderer, with stories as rich and as textured as the images themselves. Read More

The Gift Every Girl Loves To Get

When you give a girl lingerie as a gift her face lights up, it’s because it is so pretty and delicate. Right now I’m in love with our Single Hipster Gift Package.

With all the hustle surrounding the holiday season, sometimes I completely forget how important it is to take time out to clear my head, relax, and unwind. When I don’t do this, I feel stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed. To chill out during busy times, one of my favorite relaxation methods is to create a calming space in my home, and meditate or write in the space I’ve created. Read More

Winter Cabin Wanderlust

As winter sinks in, I normally long for a vacation somewhere warm and tropical…but this year, I’ve got cabins on my mind. Cozy winter cabins that can only be reached by dirt roads, with no electricity and a fireplace to keep me warm.  Frosty windowpanes that look out into trees as far as the eye can see, rustic decor, and lots of blankets to wrap myself in…snuggling up with the one I love and a cup of hot chocolate, just enjoying the peace and quiet and beauty of nature.

How The Moon Impacts Your Mood

UPDATE: This post previously ran on October the 16th, but as we are continually in its cycle, we thought we would bring it back.

Whenever I feel a little unbalanced I usually blame it on the full moon, because I always find around this time I get emotional, touchy, and aggravated. Many people tell me it’s just a myth, but I’m pretty convinced that the moon’s pull has an impact on my body. Read More
