East Coast Vibes
3

Whenever I think of homes on the East Coast, I automatically think of relaxed spaces. To me, the most important thing in a home is that you create a space where you feel comfortable, stylish and surround yourself with things you love.

Today I’m embracing those East Coast Vibes and rounding up a few of my favorite things of the moment.

Introducing this Driftwood Sunburst Mirror from One Kings Lane. This would look great in an entry way or bathroom.

One can never go wrong with a dynamic X-bench.

Because you know I love a good ginger jar.. Take a peek at my last post on blue and white porcelain.

What To Pack For A Weekend In Montauk
2

Hello, party people! How was everyone’s weekend? I’m pretty excited for this week as I will be crossing off not one – but two – items off of my 27 things to do before 28! You can check out all my goals I’d like to accomplish here but tonight includes a macaroon making class with Jess, Hallie, Hitha, Carly & Mackenzie at Dana’s Bakery in New Jersey. In addition to the macaroon making class, this weekend I’m headed on a little girls trip to Montauk.

I’ve only been to Montauk once (and it was very brief) since I have moved to New York so I cannot wait to get back to it’s beautiful beaches.

We are staying at the Montauk Yacht Club and I couldn’t be more excited. You can check out the rooms here, but can we talk about the navy and white striped curtains in the room? Obsessed.

To get this week started on the right foot, I’ve rounded up a few items that will be in my weekender including multiple striped shirts/sweaters, SPF, beach rackets and more! We’ll be dining at Ruschmeyers, watching the sunset at Surf Lodge, and taking a surf lesson (eek!). I have never surfed before so that last part should be interesting. More to come on Montauk this week but hope everyone has a great Monday! Xo. Lauren

Get The Look | Maggie Stephens Interiors
2

I recently came across this picture online from Maggie Stephens Interiors. One of the main reasons I was drawn to this image was mostly because how clean and airy the room appears. The gold mirror combined with the brass pineapples on the mantel provide a great focal point for the room. In addition, the team at Maggie Stephens Interiors was not afraid to mix patterns and colors. i.e the greek key pillow on the couch + the floral patterned pillows on the white chairs. Rugs and pillows are probably two of the easiest ways to mimic a room fast and not to mention they are relatively easy to swap out when you get sick of the color/pattern.

When it comes to getting the look, One Kings Lane is one of my favorite destinations to scope out similar products I see in images online. You can search and shop “black and white rugs” pretty easily to find one that suits your needs. And as many of you know, shopping for large pieces of furniture like coffee tables, upholstered chairs and couches can certainly come with a higher price tag. Luckily One Kings Lane provides a wide variety to choose from that can fit both your budget and your style. Although I love the wood detailing of the chairs featured in this room, I opted for these dumont chairs from One Kings Lane (love the black pipping).

The one product that was quite hard for me to find – surprisingly – was the gold round mirror above the mantel. You would think one of the major retailers would have something similar but I literally could only find this West Elm version here – which is in grey for $179. I do like the West Elm version because it does have the simple aesthetic like the one featured below but come on peeps, we all know I love gold. If any of you know where to find this gold mirror below, could you drop me a line? All in all, I would still move in here. Thoughts? Xo. Lauren
