Every Wednesday, I’ll bring you a list of ten things that I think you should know about. I’m excited for this. I often stumble across something interesting and will share it to Instagram, but it has no real place to live. Maybe it’s a new launch, a really great podcast episode . . . maybe it’s an independent designer, an artist, or a must-have shopping find. It will be a different mix every week. You can read last week’s installment here.
Refreshing a bedroom—let alone furnishing one almost entirely from scratch—can feel like an overwhelming undertaking. Ahead of my move into a new apartment, I found myself doing exactly that for the first time. Rather than trying to solve the room all at once, I broke it down into a series of layers: first the bed frame, then the mattress and pillows, followed by the bedding, and finally the art and finishing details that brought the space to life.
Every week on Instagram, I share the previous week’s best-selling products. You can always see those collections, saved here on my ShopMy Page. It’s fun to see what pieces resonate most with you. To build on our weekly best-sellers series, we wanted to introduce a styling element. Each Monday, I will choose three of the previous week’s favorite styles and show you how to wear them. Today, we are styling these fun red Staud shorts, this easy-breezy smocked maxi dress from Tuckernuck, and these funky-but-still-neutral raffia wedges.
