WEEK 28
THE BEAUTY OF BLAND
SEA DESIREE SLEEPWEAR SET // Until C gifted me a pair of PJ’s I would never have purchased for myself, I wasn’t a luxury sleepwear kind of gal. More of a big tee sleeper. But, these feel so special. I wake up and feel like I’m on holiday. It’s a treat for the every day — or night, that is.
A STATE OF CALM by JANA YOUNG SIGEL // Epitomizing how I want to feel right now. Local Sources: Design Supply (Birmingham, AL)
OBELISK // As it relates to my interior style, sometimes I feel like I’m teetering on the precipice of going full-blown formal (beige! greek revival! formal china! topiaries! and now, apparently, obelisks!). If you can’t tell, I’m having a bit of an identity crisis. Who knows how my interiors will revolve, but for now I think I’d call them cash-poor collected. Local Sources: ALKMY (Birmingham, AL)
GARDEN SHEARS // I’ve had this set of garden shears for a few years and they’re great. I keep one in my car (for on the go clippings) and one in the kitchen (for herb cuttings).
LAKE DRESS // Anine Bing is the best at button downs. Local Sources: Lé Weekend (Birmingham, AL)
LINK CHAIN NECKLACE WITH TOGGLE CLASP CLOSURE // What’s not to like? I saw this in person and am obsessed. Local Sources: Etc… (Birmingham, AL)
PACKABLE HAT // Not a big hat girl, but also not a big wrinkle girl either. Local Sources: The Atelier (Birmingham, AL)
CAYMAN GLASSES // I absolutely refuse to stop sharing woven seagrass glassware. It’s truly one of my favorite purchases!
SABRE THREE-PIECE BAR SET // Recently, CC.BOONE shot her Spring Menu at my house and, despite being a non-drinker, needed these for a styled cocktail shot. Does that mean I can expense them?
DISCOVERY KIT // I’m nearing the dregs of my go-to scent (Le Labo No. 33 if anyone was wondering; and if you’re thinking that makes me basic, it does, but I live in Northwest Florida and we’re a little behind the times…) so I’ve started “dating” other fragrances. Maison Louis Marie are the only ones I’ve felt a spark with. If you already have a signature Maison Louis Marie scent, purchase it locally at the following local sources. Local Sources: General (Birmingham, AL), Parasol (Alys, Beach).
EAT DRINK NAP: BRINGING THE HOUSE HOME // My allergies have an absolute chokehold on me so this is particularly fitting. The only thing I have any interest in doing is eating, drinking [water], and napping.
HAWS BEARWOOD BROOK 2-GALLON WATERING CAN // For the luxe gardener. As someone who is currently doing their own landscaping, I think that means I don’t qualify. While we’re on the subject on luxe gardening though… Take a peek at these.
RENATA SCONCE // Toying with the idea of switching out my bedroom sconces. Also toying with the idea of taking a sawmill to the bedposts on my cheap Amazon canopy bed, so I’ll get back to you.
ONE PIECE SWIMSUIT // Only swimwear brand I wear, which, now that I think about it, isn’t saying as much as you think it would. I wore a swimsuit (a Hunza G one, duh) once last year. Local Sources: The Atelier (Birmingham, AL)
CANE HURRICANE // I purchased a few of these from Shoppe in Birmingham and, after deciding I wanted more, wished I’d picked up more while I was in town. They had the best price on these I’ve seen anywhere! Local Sources: Shoppe (Birmingham, AL).
RURAL RETREATS // Psst. Not sure where to start when styling books? Here’s a bright little cheat code from Pottery Barn. Local Sources: A’mano (Birmingham, AL), FOUND (Chandler, AZ)
PILLAR CANDLE // Best place to buy pillar candles? Ikea. Yes, better prices than Amazon.
TOPIARIES // Have been on the hunt for topiaries locally to no avail. So when I spotted Shoppe’s greenhouse dedicated to the delicate botanical design statement, I was thrilled. Local Sources: Shoppe (Birmingham, AL)
