Dune is our mini sheepadoodle who joined the family last summer. He was born in May of 2021 at Lawrenson Doodles. His Dad was a 15 pound miniature poodle and his mother a 70 pound sheepdog. Dune is considered a “merle” dog because of his color pattern and he has one blue and one brown eye. There is a Native American legend that dogs with one blue eye and one brown eye have one eye on earth, and one on…
We partnered with Shutterfly this month to get some fun items to personalize our new short term rental, including photobooks using their Make My Book service. We got a bunch of fun stuff!

It’s no secret I have been a huge fan of Victoria Emerson for years. I love the versatile pieces and how just one piece of their jewelry can elevate an outfit. So when they asked me to create a collection with them it was a no brainer, especially knowing how much you gals love their pieces too! Many of you know my family loves the coast. From CT to FL, we have always felt at home near the ocean. So…

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Capsule Wardrobe 2022
July 6, 2022
I’m a big fan of capsule wardrobes. I try to create one almost every season (you can look back at past collections of capsule wardrobes – here). Last year’s anniversary sale capsule was a hit amongst readers so I wanted to update this to reflect this year’s sale items. Capsule wardrobes are a great way to trim down your closet to basic pieces you can easily restyle. “Trendy is one step above tacky” as they say. So while I definitely…
While many claim the coastal grandmother look to be a trendy, she is anything but a trend. The Coastal Grandmother is a timeless gal with refined taste. When she’s not headed to the farmers market or sipping a glass of wine with an ocean view, she’s investing in her closet. There you will find comfortable but tailored looks full of cohesive neutrals and pops of chambray. Quotes you might find in her gratitude journal are “quality over quantity” and “buy…
>>This post is written by Marissa<< I’ve shared with Rachel that my highest-self has the best undergarments for my body. A good bra can level up an outfit. I’ll admit, I was overdue for a re-order recently and stalled way too long. If that’s you, here is your sign! While I have bras on the brain I decided to put together a list of our favorite regular bras, sports bras, and bras for comfort. We even asked Rachel’s MIL, Jane,…
Buying a sectional or sofa is a big decision and somewhere I always debate if I should save or splurge. From my experience, a durable couch made with a performance fabric will pay for itself in time. I really loved our couch we had in Connecticut for just those reasons. And many of you loved it too! Whenever I posted pictures of my Crate and Barrel Sofa I always got questions on color, comfort and durability (here’s my review on…
