one of my new year’s resolutions was to read 25 books in 2019. i love reading, but when work gets insane, it becomes much harder to focus with a book at the end of the day. pictured below are the first five i finished. if i had to pick a favorite, it would be rules of civility.
and yes, i still can’t tear myself away from physical books.

one of my favorite traditions every year to to buy a new planner. although my iphone is great, i find it easier to write down all the thoughts in my head on an actual piece of paper. late last year, i was so excited to find this smythson diary on sale in this gorgeous faux crocodile.

i gifted myself the below goodies from sugar paper for christmas. i love me a monogram, and the red lip notecards from the clare v collaboration were too cute to pass up.

i was going through my photos and found this gem from thanksgiving. a good friend of mine and i made this sticky toffee pudding, and it was easily one of the best desserts made in my kitchen. the sauce was better than any salted caramel. i wanted to sit in a corner and eat it with a spoon. oh and it was topped with vanilla whipped cream. clearly I couldn’t wait to take the picture before digging in.

one of my favorite instagram accounts to follow is the home edit. not only are clea and joanna hilarious, but their method of styling and organization provides some serious inspiration. because i started buying blue ball jars years ago, i wasn’t going to recycle them all for the sake of organization aesthetics. i decided to work with what i had, get a few baskets and trays, and this is what my cabinets look like now. i didn’t “style” these for the photos, so they are more or less always like this now (depending on what food i have around).

after years of stashing my jewelry in various pouches and boxes, i invested in this beautiful smythson jewelry box from shop ual.
my favorite part is that the top covered tray is meant to be portable and used for travel. it helps keep in me organized while make sure my jewelry is protected.

the last bit of my london shopping included these two classics. first, the louis vuitton train case is something i have had my eye on. i’ve seen people use it for home decor, for travel, and some even as a bag. i’m afraid to ruin its pristine condition so it is currently sitting out on display. once i get over that though, i think it will be a great companion for my travels.
second, i have had an hermes scarf on my list for so long but never took the plunge. that was, however, until i saw this stunner of a pattern.
i was playing around with the scarf and realized that i could fashion it into a bag, reminiscent of this one that i love but this is way too expensive for that it is.

during the first week of may, tiffany painted parts of new york tiffany blue to celebrate reed krakoff’s first jewelry collection for the brand. i didn’t manage to spot any blue taxis or metrocards, but i did walk by this bodega on the way to the theater district one night.
evidently all the flowers were hand made by the tiffany’s creative team. such a fun way to welcome spring.

i absolutely love anemones, and i finally got my hands on a gorgeous bunch from the chelsea farmers market. the black marks are from the pistils.
the pink ceramic vase is from anthropologie, and the pink glass vase is muuto.
the print in the background is from the affordable art fair. i loved the colors and the overall summer vibes.

one of my favorite places in nashville is the pancake pantry, a nashville institution. no matter the weather, there is a line around the corner of tourists and locals alike who can’t wait for a delicious, unpretentious, down home breakfast. i love ordering a half order of the sweet potato pancakes (you get 3 instead of 5) and a side of eggs. i found myself missing home lately so did my best to recreate my favorite breakfast at home.
i used this recipe.
