Twillys are a fun way to customize and dress up your bags. So I wanted to share 8 ways to tie an Hermes Twilly on your bag handles to give you some inspiration. It's up to you if you want to tie a twilly on one or both handles of your bags. In my personal opinion, I think you either wrap a twilly around each handle or none at all. Having a twilly on your bag handles will protect the leather. Therefore, you will get inconsistent wear on your handles if they're not on both. But if you're just looking to get one twilly to decorate your bag with many of these ways to tie an Hermes twilly work great as any accessory to your bag. If you're not concerned about wear on your bag handles, I highly recommend giving these a try! And the beauty about these is you can always switch them up! They're super easy to do, and don't take much time, so on ... Read more...
Geometric and Organic
This weekend I spent a lot of time with the family. Memorial Day weekend was spent outdoors updating the patio, creating my DIY pique assiette table top featured here, and celebrating the May birthdays in my family (mom, brother and grandma.)

Originally I was going to pull them out for my bridal shower or rehearsal dinner but ended up finding other options so the set has been ... Read more...
DIY: Pique Assiette table

Label for Less
After the Stella & Dot summer preview party I attended on Wednesday night I can't stop thinking about jewelry. One of the bangles my friend had on display resembled the Alexis Bittar jaguar bangle (Label.) I knew that Kenneth Jay Lane (For less) had a similar design as well so I thought it was only fitting to showcase them on this weeks installment of Label for Less. I've finally found my groove, so to speak, with the arm party and now I constantly want to find new pieces to add to my collection that integrate with my current ... Read more...
4 Ideas to Spruce up your Patio
1. Soften the edges of your patio with flowering shrubs. 2. Bring your living room outdoors. Having a comfortable place to sit will make you want to spend more time outdoors. 3. Outdoor lighting adds a nice ambiance and allows the space to be usable at night. 4. Give your patio a personal touch with charming garden accents. I am in the process of sprucing up my parents patio. It was neglected long before they purchased the house and with so many outdoor projects this lower patio has been put off again and again. This patio ... Read more...
