I spent most of my weekend in Connecticut hanging with Mike. It was nice to catch up on some major R&R after getting back from Paris last week – I have a few more travel posts to share with you this week so be on the lookout!
In the meantime, I was perusing Serena and Lily tonight and came across so many new items that are on point. They have me dreaming of summer – stat! These pinstriped pillows are a must. I’m also loving their acanthus pattern – the perfect pattern to compliment white patio furniture. Last but not least, if only I had space for the Hampton’s All Weather Rug. Yes, please! Happy Shopping! Xo. Lauren
With the changing of seasons, I always love giving my apartment a refresh. There’s nothing like new decor that puts a little prep in my step, you know what I mean? One easy and affordable way to make a spring refresh in your home is updating pillows on both your bed and couch! I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend trying it! You will be amazed how pillows can instantly update a room.
I like to think I have pretty good pillow game – I know where to shop for various price points.
Serena and Lily should be your go-to for all east coast vibes.
AND last but not least, Target should be your number one resource for upping your affordable and stylish pillow game. Insert this Nate Burkus Triangle Pillow and this Ikat pillow.
So today I’ve rounded up 6 super stylish throw pillows under $25 dollars. Giving your home a spring refresh has never been easier – you’re welcome!
You can shop each pillow by clicking on the black and white “+” sign next to each pillow.
Today’s gift guide is dedicated to the jewelry lover. From Baublebar to J.Crew, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite pieces from pearls to statement necklaces to stackable rings.
Whenever I give advice to friends on how to style a new space or update their current one, I always suggest them to find images of bedrooms/living rooms/etc. that they like to help them mentally picture the room. Insert my friend Steph (this is the second time I’m talking about her apartment on this blog, btw) but I love helping her with her gorgeous Greenwich apartment. She is trying to figure out the best pillow scheme (with color, mind you) to compliment her very neutral/gray space. It’s much harder, though, for her than it is for me to picture what her couch will look like with colorful pillows with different patterns.
When I first started blogging on interiors, I also found this also quite hard – imagining what or how a space could come together with different products vs. the images I saw in magazines. Nowadays, I can get one of these posts done in 20 minutes. It’s become second nature for me to pull a photo of a space I love and find the products that correspond. I think this has a lot to do with the fact that I’m constantly searching for new products on a daily basis but it’s like a have a mental roster of where to find certain products (scary?). I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of finding inspirational images when it comes to interiors and trying to re-create the look, whether it be for myself or friends. Which brings me to today’s post. I found this image below and I thought it was too pretty, not to re-create. I also think your nightstand is one of the easiest and cheapest spaces to update. Do you agree?
When I saw this nightstand, I instantly thought of West Elm and their sleek Mid-Century dressers. Although I love the hardware more on the dresser in this photo, it would be quite easy to swap in new knobs on the one I found below. I also think West Elm’s Task Lamp is pretty identical to the one in this photo. Serena & Lily is my go-to resource for all things bedding. I’m obsessed with their border frame bedding for a classic, chic look. Last but not least, your nightstand is the perfect place to display your favorite reading materials. Insert Alexa Chung’s “It” book as shown here. Do you like this nightstand look? Let me know in the comment section below! Xo. Lauren
