A Wedding Registry Must
I have to say, I am SO glad the signs for a return to normalcy are alive and well. I am particularly excited for wedding season this summer - whether the celebrations have made their way back onto the calendar after being postponed last year or the nuptials were always on the docket for 2021. Now that we are getting back into the swing of things, I wanted to share one of my favorite wedding registry gifts for couples: the Artifact Uprising Wedding Layflat Photo Album.
Gingham Style
I love a good gingham print! It’s just so classic, and it always gives me those picnic vibes I strive for come spring and summer. This checked print has been on full display lately and I am loving what’s been springing up around the web. I rounded up my latest gingham finds from my go-to sites, particularly some picks for SS2021 wardrobe and pieces for picnic and beach days.
Home Finds: Neutral Accent Pieces
When I moved into a new apartment last fall I had so much more space to work with and was searching for some special pieces that could grow with me over the years. I discovered some small businesses that make some really special pieces for the home like candle holders and linen towels. I really think it’s small upgrades to regular everyday items like these are what creates a curated and thoughtful home.
