Korres Aegean Bronze: The Gourmand Fragrance You’ll Love

If you are like me and love gourmand fragrances, you simply must try Korres Aegean Bronze. It smells like burnt sugar and vanilla in the best possible way. Like Bath & Body Works’ Warm Vanilla Sugar (RIP, the fragrance of my youth) but for grownups. As you spritz it on, you get the most subtle note of citrus. But then almost immediately, the fragrance warms up, with delicious notes of brown sugar, vanilla, and musk (all my favorite things)

Pinned & Noted, Vol. 6

One of my favorite columns to write: all of the things I am most excited about. The book I can’t wait to read, the yummiest cocktail I’ve ever had, Ulla Johnson’s new collection, three beauty favorites, and a new-to-me fine jewelry brand to love.

Bringing the Drama With Black & White Pieces

There is something so dramatic and elegant about black & white pieces. If I have a fancy event on my calendar and I’m not sure what to wear, I’ll often reach for something black and white, like the dress above (I wore this to a fundraiser and felt great in it!). It’s timeless and effortless, and feels more “me” than a little black dress. Truthfully, I’ve always felt that black near my face looks a bit harsh; this is a nice way to get that same polish without washing me out!

What Shoes to Wear With a Mini Dress

As I said in my “Mini Madness” post, I’ve already decided that mini dresses and a fun pair of heels is a favorite staple outfit for me. Don’t get me wrong, I love flowy maxi skirts and breezy midis—but mini dresses are so much fun. They make me feel very sixties glam. Plus, they’re perfect for hot summer days (especially in Charleston!), where too much fabric = hot, sweaty mess. Aside from how easy they are to wear, they’re equal parts playful and put-together. Toss one on to run some errands, or dress it up for dinner with simple styling swaps

Vintage Home Finds, Vol. 6

Another gorgeous round-up of vintage finds… Carly is so good at this! I love how much silver is incorporated in this month’s round-up as I collect silver (my mom has passed a few things down to me and I’m always scouring Etsy and Chairish). This ice bucket, this large sculptural bowl, and this darling snail (it holds charcuterie picks) all rank very highly for me. I also love this set of chairs. They’re perfect and would look amazing in my garden.
