Backstory: I have spent a small fortune on the delicious petite French cake 3-packs at Starbuck’s. When they’re not in view near the register, I always ask the salesperson if they would mind checking the back, please. I’ve even gone so far as to ask if there is a […]
Honestly, I don’t have (or wear) a lot of jewelry, but the pieces I do have (and wear) are special to me. This Tivi* stainless steel cuff inlayed with zebrawood, for example, was a gift from the hub years ago, and it always reminds of when we were newlyweds living […]
These gorgeous pink, white, and striated orchids at the Atlanta Botanical Garden reminded me of an exhibition of Georgia O’Keeffe’s work that I saw at the High Museum of Art several years ago. (They also reminded me that I have books about both orchids and Georgia O’Keeffe in my studio/home […]
To me, Little Luxuries are those small things that don’t cost a fortune – or anything! – but that never fail to bring a bit more shiny, happy Joy and Sunshine to my day 🙂 I don’t have a ton of sunglasses, but the few classic ones I do have were strewn […]
Lovely Lady Writer Ele (I “borrowed” that phrase from her… not sure if I’m giving it back, though, because I quite like it :-)) of the wonderful blog Inspirationele was nominated for a Liebster Blog Award — congrats and YAY! Instead of in turn posing the usual questions to her […]
His/Her Glasses by Kate Spade When decorating a bathroom, the hardest things for me to find are the simple, functional items like soap dishes and toothbrush/toothpaste holders, with the latter being the most elusive. My last toothbrush container in a long line of toothbrush containers was perfectly modern and minimalist […]
As a girl who loooves her tea and truly digs special, little luxuries, attending Afternoon Tea* at the St. Regis has been on my really-want-to-do list from the moment I realized they even offered an Afternoon Tea. I’m so thankful to have been able to go twice this summer, first […]
Low, Low Tide at Sea Island (Yes, I’m STILL feeling beach-y…) I cannot begin to express how much I really, really want this bike basket. The beach cruiser and beach house to go with it would be nice, too. Possibly the most striking – in a good way! – wide […]
I am a big fan of soy-free dark chocolate bars. Just in case you are as well, here are three to try 🙂 Theo Organic Coconut Dark Chocolate Bar (available at Whole Foods) Patric Mocha OMG Dark Chocolate Bar (details in this post) Mast Brothers Dark Chocolate Bars I’ve been […]
This is one of those recipes that looks all “special occasion only,” but it’s actually super simple and not labor intensive at all. Any day can be Chocolate Pots de Creme Day 🙂 Ingredients: makes 4 servings (adaptation of this recipe) Pots de Creme 1 2.5 – 3.5 ounce high […]
This cup and saucer, a very thoughtful gift from my Secret Santa :-), is seriously giving my favorite tea cups a run for their money. I love the shades of blue and all the nautical details! See the subtle anchor near the handle? Love! The sailboat inside the cup is […]
Pink Flowers at Zoo Atlanta Perfectly preppy seersucker cloth napkins: DIY and ready made The exaggerated denim cuff? This is coming from the same girl who didn’t think she’d ever wear a tied button down and who used to lobby to get crop pants removed from stores everywhere. Still, I can say with at least some certainty that I really don’t […]
