Seems like a pretty dreamy place to call home. It's in Holland of course. The Dutch just get it. See more images here.
More & Co. is a combined creative studio and shop (it seems more and more of these are popping up these days which makes sense because it's an awesome idea) based out of Portland Maine. Every few months the shop chooses a new theme and curates goods based on that theme, partnering with artists and makers along the way. "This Is Love" is the current theme and is running until May 30. Take a peek below at some of my favorites from their current offering.
What you see below have kind of become my uniform this Spring. A few basics that I am totally in love with and live in include my clogs, a slim fitting pair of overalls, a knit top- I have a couple different ones and I love them so much, a basic white t-shirt (i have an addiction to basic white t's), a good pair of sunglasses, a really great sweatshirt that can be thrown on top for chilly evenings but still looks good- I love this one from ILY, and my sisal bag that I got from a market in South Africa but you can find them all over Etsy as well. What do you think? What are your go to pieces for this Spring?
I've been hearing good things about Asheville North Carolina for years now but have never visited. However, after taking a look at Shelter Collectives new studio and retail space that has officially got to change. The space carries a selection of curated goods from local makers as well as doubles as a production space for Shelter handbags and a design/build studio. If you live in the Asheville area be sure to stop by.

I will always- always post a beautiful wedding. I just can't help it- they get me every time. I've been meaning to post the wedding of my friends Brittany and Taylor for some time now and I believe they are coming up on their one year wedding anniversary so despite my tardiness, the timing seems just right. Taylor came and stayed with us for a month in Cape Town right before he got married. He shared a room with Wills for a little while and I like to joke that he was Wills first roommate. They are two of the nicest people you will ever meet and their wedding looks like it was absolutely perfect. Below are some of my favorite shots from their special day.

Beautiful wooden necklaces by Kim Dulaney of Fortune Jewelry. Necklaces are one of those luxuries I can't really afford to wear these days because it will get ripped off my neck instantly by my baby. So I stick to rings and bracelets most days but man would I love to put one of these pieces around my neck. See more of her work here and visit her Etsy shop here.
Ever since we decided to make the big move I've been dreaming of our new home and how I'd like to decorate. I love the idea of starting over completely from scratch. I've been pinning furniture and home goods on pinterest like a mad woman and I constantly day dream about a three bedroom home with hard wood floors, a fireplace (i've never had a fireplace!) a walk in closet and huge windows that let in tons of light. Kind of a tall order for an apartment in New York I know but what can I say, I'm an optimist. And that couch below- that's my dream couch. You can see more of my finds on my pinterest board, here.

I can't believe how long I've been away from this space. Since I last posted a lot has happened, but I'll just mention the two biggest things 1. The birth of our daughter in January. We named her Isobel. And 2. After five years of living in South Africa we decided to move back to the States from Cape Town. We've now been back in Virginia for about six weeks, staying with my family. The plan is to move up to New York city, most likely Brooklyn, but for now we are happy being at home and I am grateful for the help with my two little ones! You can see below how I spend a lot of my time these days. Isobel prefers to nap on me rather than by herself (equal parts sweet and annoying since it means I can't get anything done). Having a new baby is wonderful but it also means you miss out on a lot of things for a little while. Working and being creative is at the top of that list for me, so I'm starting to take little steps to fill that void and reviving this blog is one of them. Thanks for sticking around.
Rad Gals is a new series started by Craft & Culture featuring powerful creative women with a flair for style all their own. The first Rad Gal featured is Theresa Crim, a curator who runs a multi use gallery space in Seattle called Land Management. Shot in their own homes, wearing Craft & Culture clothing and accessories, Rad Gals is one of my new favorites. Also if you haven't visited Craft & Culture be sure to check out their online shop!

I'm still here... I'm just four months pregnant- so I took a bit of an unintentional break from this blog. I was sick most of the first trimester and wasn't up for much of anything other than feeling sorry for myself, which caused us to push our annual (northern hemisphere) summer vacation up a whole lot. So instead of visiting family in the States in mid July we left the first week of June and we've been back in Virginia ever since. It's been so great to have all the extra help with Wills and now that I'm feeling like my old self again I'll be back around here more often. Here I am- 18 weeks pregnant.
Four weeks ago I went to the wedding of my dear friends Karin and Craig. It was one of those amazing weddings filled with so much love and thoughtfulness that everybody was grinning from ear to ear. The flowers were arranged by the talented Marissa of Opus Studio, and the photography was by the equally talented duo, Love Made Visible.
