I don’t know if I believe in destiny or fate, or that there’s only one person in the whole world that you should marry and (finger’s crossed!!) you’ll meet them and timing will be perfect and you’ll fall in love.  I do however, believe that God has a plan and know’s exactly what’s going to […]

Plus the collaboration between vendors can be a really beautiful form […]

A common question that I get asked is to describe my style.  And this is not an easy question for me to answer.  This summer I really tried to channel in on that thought and focus.  What is my style? First off, I love shabby chic.  Distressed, romantic and soft details make me smile.  I […]
