a lovely living

Minted

Ohh, the mint vest. You guys didn’t think you had seen the last of her here, did you? This time I went for a more dressed down version which fits my lifestyle quite well. I just have to watch that baby spit up! As much as I lean towards gray and muted colors during the […]

Cyber Monday Mania

Alright gang, Cyber Monday has arrived! In some cases it’s basically a continuation of Black Friday (how’d you all make out?!) and in others they’ve upped the ante! I’ve rounded up a compilation from some of my favorite stores to include gifts for her, him, the kids, the home, and maybe a little something for […]

Black Friday (shopping in your pj’s)

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday! We hosted for the very first time and after a little scare with the turkey (we grilled it), and a LOT of help from family, things turned out perfectly! We’re all in a bit of a turkey coma today, so while everyone else is either asleep […]

Gift Guide

Well, Thanksgiving is finally upon us. This is my first year hosting and although I’m not in charge of the turkey (thank goodness!) I have a feeling my hands are going to be full! I plan on enjoying the day with our family and giving thanks for all of the blessings upon us. And then the […]

Jewel Tones

For those that follow along regularly, you probably know by now that you’re much more likely to catch me in softer colors than deep, rich colors. That being said, I’ve been loving burgundy this season and this sweater is adding fuel to that fire. The tunic length makes it all the more appealing as it […]

Sweater Coat

I’m a huge fan of sweater coats. I love that they add a layer of warmth without the bulk that most winter coats carry. Granted, I’ll be forced to switch to the wool and down eventually, but for now I’ll stick with the lighter layers and add a scarf as needed. Speaking of scarves, how […]

Furs, plaids, bows…there are so many options to choose from which makes layering up all the more fun! To make that task a little easier on you I’ve gathered some of my picks for you below.

Grey Shrug

Layers. That seems to be my styling theme from September through April. There are some key pieces when it comes to layering…vests, tunics, button-ups, jackets, scarves to name a few, and a shrug is another I’d add to that list. I got this one back in the spring while I was still pregnant with my […]

Rose Cake

Last weekend we celebrated my Mom’s 60th birthday. My family and I threw her a brunch that we managed to keep a surprise. Trust me, it’s hard to get things past her…even at 60! Love you, Mom ;) Paris has always been a favorite city of hers, so that’s the theme we went with. I […]
