I’ve prided myself since high school on taking good care of my skin. I’ve always been pretty smooth, I never had major acne or scarring on my face (other than a few leftover from the third bout of chicken pox when I was 13), and I’ve always been a huge believer of Dove body wash. But, the older ...
A Derby Weekend Recap
Every May, it seems as if Derby weekend both lasts for a month and passes by in a heartbeat. Missing last year was enough for me to forget how much more alive our city becomes in just the few days prior. Despite the cleaning of our streets, the KDF Marathon, the balloon race, and Thunder Over ...
Sorry I’m Away…
Sweet friends, my sincerest apologies for the lack of a "real" post today, but Derby weekend is upon us here in Louisville, and your girl's feet hurt and her purse is empty, but her tank is full. We are rallying, grabbing a big breakfast, and partying on!
Go, Baby, Go!

The Quiet Weekend Breakfast
Last fall, my company was generous enough to offer a class changing the way we think about our careers: This was a week-long seminar dedicated to finding our whys. Why do we want to become successful? We know it can be something more than money. Why do we want to schedule our own hours, dictate ...
The All-White Easter Table

I'm craving the tulip trees to bloom, the grass to raise its head from the Earth, and ...
Organization Update: The Kitchen
After much hemming and hawing, way too much time trying to find just the right canisters, and far too many hours pouring over The Home Edit's blog and inspiration-filled Instagram, the kitchen cabinets and fridge are finally organized, labelled, stacked, staged, and functional.
In the cabinets ...
For the Love of Black and White
Two weeks ago, I was enjoying a quiet dinner with a friend at Decca when Gen Sohr of Nashville’s design firm Pencil and Paper Co. walked in. I immediately fan-girled. Panic over whether or not to say hello, send a drink, or feel completely ashamed of what I was wearing set in. Finally, when I ...
Well-Collected
My neighborhood is a diverse one. I have neighbors that were the first to move in when our sweet townhomes were built, who are now well into their 80’s, with a wealth of knowledge about the community. I have a young pediatrician, fresh out of his residency who’s presumed quiet and shy ...
On the Gallery Wall
I'm fortunate enough to have a set of neighbors with fabulous taste, a gorgeous home and own Scout- one of the best design and accessories stores in the city. One thing I almost always see, whether in their home or in their store, or in the houses of their countless clients is a handsomely ...
