Masion Jules


Have you guys seen this new collection at Macy's called Maison Jules? I just discovered it last week, and my inner French girl is jumping for joy over their pieces. Inspired by Parisian street style, you've got subtle patterns, muted colors mixed with bright pops of pinks and oranges, on relaxed hems and fits. 

I mean how much do I want to be this little French brunette at the sidewalk cafe? Just sipping coffee, checking my phone, while I sit adorably in my wedge oxfords, plum skinnies, and quirky sweater with oversized glasses stitched on it? 

I must have tried on a dozen items, and really loved how they've mixed cute with casual; which is my style to a tee. You can look really pulled together for just errands or perfectly styled for casual date night. 
The pieces are reasonably priced, and Macy's typically has some sort of sale going on, so you could really find some deals. There are several things I'm eyeing right now, that navy blazer with the ruffle especially, and you can bet I'll be saving my Euros to get a few pieces for Spring.

Birchwood House

Just a little peek into my house...
We moved into this converted cape cod with all sorts of charm in late sumer of 2013. Slowly but surely I've been repainting, styling, (and then re-styling) and purchasing items for our little house ever since. I'm hoping to kick the projects that have been sitting on my "to-do" list into high gear this Spring and then I can share more before and after pictures with you. 

The dining room. Hoping to swap out the table and chairs for something better very soon! 

My collection of vintage apothecary items sit on a shelf in the downstairs bathroom.

Small corner in the living room. My prized decoupage trophy heads over look my brass trunk and chartreuse Jonathan Adler lamp.

Happy Valentines Day!


May your hearts be filled with love!
