We made it!! Happy Friday, friends and more importantly, happy Memorial Day weekend!

We’re off to Nantucket this afternoon and to say I’m excited is an understatement. We’ll be staying at the Roberts Collection which is a collection of inn’s located right in the heart of historic downtown Nantucket. It’s pretty much the perfect location on the island if you ask me given how many great restaurants, shops and museums are in walking distance! You can follow our adventures on Nantucket via my Instagram and be sure to give the Robers Collection’s instagram a little love, too!

It wouldn’t be a holiday weekend without a major sale roundup, am I right? Sharing a few of my favorite Memorial Day sales happening today through Monday. Deets below! And p.s. If you missed it earlier this week, take a peek at what I’ll be packing this weekend right here.

Memorial Day Weekend Style
0

Can you believe Memorial Day is right around the corner?!? We’re off to Nantucket for the long holiday weekend and I can not wait to show Josh around the island for his very first time. We have a few dinner reservations lined up but if you have any recommendations on where else to eat for lunch or breakfast, we’d love to hear them!

So far the weather forecast looks like it will be a little chilly but we’re keeping our fingers crossed for sunshine! I most likely will be packing lots of white jeans, sweaters and espadrilles. I recently have been loving everything from the brand Sea – are you familiar with them? You can shop their collection on Shopbop including the white dress & top I included in the collage below! In terms of espadrilles, you can never go wrong with wedges or flats from Soludos or Castaner. Last but not least, I’ll be so mad at myself if I forget my SPF or sunglasses which I tend to do more often than not. Right now I’m loving Chuda’s Sheer Hydrating SPF.

Happy packing!! Xo.

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
0

Wither Mother’s Day right around the corner, I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite mother’s day gift ideas — many of which can still arrive just in time for Mother’s Day!

Two of my favorite gift ideas no matter the holiday include Chanel perfume or a Diptyque candle.

If your mom loves to entertain as much as mine, gifting tabletop items such as linens, flatware or accessories is always a great idea! How pretty is Aerin’s latest linen collection for Williams-Sonoma? A classic rattan tray can be used for indoor and outdoor entertaining. And if your mom doesn’t have a nice set of bamboo flatware, I love this as a gift idea! You can shop this Cambridge 20-piece bamboo flatware on sale at Neimans! I actually just bought myself a full set for our upcoming dinner parties!

What are some of your favorite Mother’s Day gift ideas? Shop more gift ideas right this way. Happy Shopping! Xo. Lauren

Quick Apartment Update + My New Found Love For Antique English Pine Chests
0

Ok, you guys — we made some progress on the apartment front!!

We finally decided on a chandelier for above our dining table. We went with the Andover Mills Perseus 6-light Chandelier from Wayfair. I was a little unsure at first because I originally wanted a designer light from Aerin or E.F. Chapmen but given that we’re trying to save for a wedding this year, spending over $1,000 on a chandelier wasn’t exactly “in budget”!!

Anywho, our handyman hung the chandelier last weekend and I have to admit, I love the end product!! The cast iron finish pairs nicely with the cast iron base of our RH dinning table. I also layered on Ballard Designs small white linen shades which compliment the white linen curtains in our living room. Given the dining room flows into the living room & it’s all one open space, I love how the finishes & materials are working together. Now all we have to do is install our dimmer and we’ll be all set!

Next up on the apartment to-do list is our entry way vignette.

Right now we are using Josh’s old desk as our entryway table with a Pottery Barn table cloth draped over at the moment. It’s great for storage as we’re hiding a bunch of bags underneath, however, it’s certainly not a long term solution.

Insert my new found quest for the perfect Antique English Pine Chest as our entryway replacement!

I’ve been scouring the internet these past few weeks but I have not found anything worthwhile. And yes, I’ve looked at both Charish and 1st Dibs but everything is quite out of our price range!

I’ve actually had more success searching #pinechest on Instagram and discovering various antique stores across the country with beautiful options including — English Traditions (my favorite), The Plantation Shop, and Parc Monceau Antiques to name a few! I ideally am looking for a pine chest with classic round knobs, key wholes and round legs at the bottom. Below are a few of my favorites I’ve bookmarked!

So – what do you think? Are you a fan of english pine chests? Are they worth the investment?! Help!!! 🙂 Xo. Lauren
