I always find it refreshing discovering new creatives on instagram who don’t fall in to your typical “like-to-know-it” mold or those with 1M+ followers. I actually prefer to follow people who have smaller followings and are “undiscovered.” More often than not, it means they’re creating content because of a specific passion or love for a particular industry. And in this case, Heather’s instagram feed documenting her renovation and complete transformation of her 1937 lake home is a complete GEM. I find every single image Heather posts on instagram inspiring. Whether she’s opening my eyes on how to style a side table vignette or how to perfect an entry way table with vintage books and fresh blooms, I pretty much always save Heather’s instagram posts for my personal design files. Her style actually reminds me a lot of my moms — a well curated mix of flea market finds paired seamlessly with traditional and modern pieces (hi mom!).

The Top 12 Candlesticks and Hurricanes
0

Ralph-Lauren-Table-Setting-How-To-Set-The-Table

One of the simplest ways to enhance your holiday table is to mix and match candle sticks, hurricanes and votives. I’ve been collecting these pieces for the past two years and am a firm believer you can never have too many!

Last year my mom bought me this large Arlington Nickel Hurricane from Pottery Barn and silver candle sticks. Although they don’t have the exact candle sticks in stock, Williams-Sonoma currently has a similar version that you can shop right here.

What I love most about collecting these items is that they don’t have to be expensive and they are readily available to shop across a wide variety of retailers. Today I’m sharing a few of my favorites I currently have my eye on! Insert these Serena and Lily Cafford Candle Sticks which would look beautiful on any table or mantel.  These antiqued brass candle sticks provide a polished accent and are affordable! This pair of crystal candle sticks are in my shopping cart as we speak — only $20 for two! Last but not least, you could incorporate these wooden candle sticks from McGee and Co. in to tablescapes all year round.

Hurricanes are another home decor item that you can use all year long — I’ve seen these Ralph Lauren Classic 14″ Hurricane Gold in the RL Mansion uptown and the brand also incorporated them in their DIFFA table last year. They are so pretty but so pricey. If you can afford to invest in these, I say do it! More affordable options include this Aerin Brass Trim Hurricane and this Antique Mercury Hurricane. However, my next hurricane purchases will be this Williams-Sonoma Classic Glass Hurricane and Juliska Amalia Candle Holder since I don’t have this style yet.

You can shop all of my favorite styles below! Xo. Lauren

Fall Bedding Refresh with Serena and Lily
0

Serena-And-Lilly-Fall-Bedding-Refresh

Serena and Lily is one of my all-time favorite brands. If I could live in one of their catalogs, I totally would!! Their fresh approach to furniture, home decor and bedding makes the online retailer a must shop in my opinion.
 gift
Today I’m so excited to partner with their team on my fall bedding refresh! In case you’re just tuning in, earlier this year my boyfriend and I moved in to a beautiful new apartment in Greenwich Village in Manhattan. Our current goal is to finish the bedroom before the end of the year before moving on to the living room. We’ve made some great progress over the past two months so we’re slowly but surely getting there! Thank goodness.
 gift
When looking to update our bedding for fall, I wanted to achieve a look that was classic, elegant and serene. Typically I gravitate toward navy or light blue bedding but now that it’s officially fall, I thought I would switch out the colors! After taking a peek at Serena and Lily’s selection, I loved the grays incorporated throughout and thought the color would work nicely over these next few months while also complimenting other key pieces in our room including our night stand lamps and new Annie Selke rug!
 gift
Insert Serena and Lily’s Savoy Embroidered Duvet Cover and Standard Shams — in fog. The embroidery is a classic design that will be sure to last for years to come and their color ‘fog’ is a beautiful, crisp light gray – I can’t believe how much I love it!Whenever I’m refreshing my bedding for a different season, I always like to mix patterns and textiles. Instead of going for the savoy embroidered sheet set to perfectly match the duvet cover, I went with the Sanibel Sheet Set which also comes in fog! After picking the sheets, I was able to select the coverlet and the solana euro shams. The shams have frayed edges and look so plush on the bed. To complete the look and compliment all of the grays in our bedroom, we layered the bed with the Amalfi Quilt — isn’t she pretty?
 gift
I can’t wait to show you guys the full bedroom tour over the next few months! You can shop all of my bedding below as well as other bedding favorites from Serena and Lily under ‘Get The Look’. Happy Shopping! Xo. Lauren

Currently Coveting All Things Aerin Lighting
0

Processed with VSCO with c4 preset

If there is one female business leader I’ve been inspired by over the last few years it is the one and only Aerin Lauder. Grand-daughter of Estee Lauder, Aerin has built a global luxury lifestyle brand based on the premise of living life beautifully. Even though the brand has only been around for 4 years, I’ve loved everything she has created to-date from her fragrance line to her collection for Williams-Sonoma to her new retail store in Southampton.

And most recently, you may have noticed that I’ve been completely inspired by the Aerin lighting collection. If you follow me on Instagram, I posed an updated image of our bedroom which incorporates a few new pieces from One Kings Lane including the Aerin Jacqueline Flush Mount, Antiqued Brass/White and the Rae 8-Drawer Dresser. Our bedroom is coming along slowly but surely but the Aerin flush mount completely transformed the room! I know I’ve blogged about over the years how lighting can make a huge impact in any room in the home but I was reminded of this simple fact as soon as we installed our new bedroom light fixture. Now I’m on a serious mission on collecting a few more pieces for our apartment. Specifically I have my eye on this Aerin Cristol Large Triple Flush Mount, Brass/White for our hallway. The Arabelle Flush Mount, Burnished Silver Leaf and the Aerin Dover Floor Lamp, Gild for our living room. And last but not least, the Aerin Culloden Table Lamp, Bone Craquelure for our nightstands in the bedroom.

You can shop many of the products from AERIN lighting on One Kings Lane & my roundup below! Happy Monday, friends. Xo. Lauren
