Just popping in to share a few snaps from life lately… and some little updates I’ve been making around the apartment. (And of course a few Aslan photos because duh, I couldn’t resist.) As I’ve mentioned here before it is really important to me that home feel like a cozy, serene place. Living in Manhattan can be pretty crazy and exhausting (not that I’d trade it for anything) so as I decorate I have been trying to be mindful of that, using calm hues like blue + cream, and keeping clutter to a minimum. The blanket above is Aslan’s favorite (and mine too…) from Serena and Lily. I really love the pom pom trim. There’s nothing better than getting home at night to see his little furry face at the door… he is such a sweet little guy.
Jewels everywhere… and a delicious smelling bubble bath from Tocca.
This basket is a recent addition. It comes from a company called Jjangde. Their mission is to employ women and educate children in West Africa. Each basket is handmade using quality local materials by an artisan (ensuring no two baskets are completely alike.) They have an Indiegogo campaign running right now… it’s a really great cause. This is technically their laundry basket but I use mine to stash blankets + magazines.
Pretty new shoes from Madewell and Zara.
My pillows are from my sister’s shop and Serena + Lily. Sidenote: my sister started selling pouches today. Have you seen them? Seriously perfect, and a good holiday gift.
I thought this was a funny pic… Aslan is very talkative and was mid-meow when I snapped this shot of him.
i am obsessed with all of Rebecca’s pouches. i can’t wait to see her spring line!
Looks like your place is coming together really nicely! Your cat is seriously the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. It kills me. (In a good way.) Also love the Madewell and Zara shoes!
I love the basket for blankets and magazines! I’m always looking for a better way to stash both and a deep basket would be perfect. You’re apartment is looking so cute!

How old is Aslan?
Can’t get enough of precious Aslan! How has training him been going? I want a kitten but wonder how much work it is. Oh, and I must know where your cobalt blue rug is from!

I can’t get enough of your fluffball!
ASLAN. Also, your apartment looks AMAZING.
I like seeing apartment pictures. Those zara shoes are adorable.
Everything is so cozy (including Aslan). Also, love your sister’s pouches! Do you think they could be used as a clutch? They seem too pretty for makeup.
i adore aslan. i want to squeeze him!!!
Aslan is absolutely adorable, and he kind of matches your decor flawlessly! Ha!
Love the new shoes! And really, every inch of your space – so well-decorated!
Aslan is the cutest. He really makes me want to get a cat!
