happy weekend!

Hello there June! As May ended last night at the stroke of midnight I found myself at a dinner party, surrounded by inspiring women from so many different trades. In my eyes it was the perfect way to say goodbye to such a wonderful month. Now as we swing into June  exciting things are on the horizon for me - my mom will finally be moving to SF, new projects will be worked on, warmer weather days spent by the ocean and the best part is that I'll be traveling to Seattle, Maine, Boston and (fingers crossed) New York. I'm excited for what lies ahead. What are you looking forward to as this new month begins?

If you've got a few minutes to get inspired, be sure to pop over to these lovely reads:

* Visual inspiration over on Pilgrim and Piles.

* Great tips and advice to keep you organized.

* Green with envy of this lounge like patio.

* I may have to make this ramp pizza this weekend.

* My fashion inspiration for the traveling I'll be doing this June.

Enjoy those reads. Have a wonderful and relaxing first weekend of June!

I'm Loving . . .

Beautiful windows that bring in so much natural light and make a home oh so beautiful.

Stunning lucite bar stools have my heart swooning.

Ever since purchasing my chambray shirt I can't stop wearing it. I never thought a shirt could be so versatile.

Sometimes turning off technology is just what the doctor ordered. And there is nothing better than opening up a book with a hot cup of coffee. It's the best pastime.

Tea lights make for such a magical setting at any dinner party.

I'm 100% ready to put my closed toed shoes in storage. It's time to bring out the stripy sandals!

What are you loving this week?

four favorites

Friends, today I'm excited to share a little sneak peek of four fabulous finds from Grant Gibson's One Kings Lane sale. When I saw everything that he put in the sale I had to share four of my favorites with you.

2. Pair of brass obelisks

3. Quartz candleholder - in the style of Tony Duquette

4. Grey faux bamboo bedside tables

Be sure to pop over soon because I have a feeling everything is going to sell out fast. I've already got my eye on a couple of treasures!

on the menu: roasted white asparagus and caper berries

Eric and I both love asparagus with any meal. When I put together the menu for each week Eric always chimes in "don't forget asparagus one night." When I came across this recipe over on My New Roots I was intrigued - white asapargus with dill dressing . . . yes please! I could have this as my entire meal it's so delicious. If you want to add a protein I highly recommend salmon.

Bon appétit everyone!

Roasted White Asparagus and Caper Berries
Serves 2

Ingredients:
* 6-8 spears white asparagus
* a handful of caper berries
* melted ghee or coconut oil
* flaky sea salt

Mustard Dill Dressing

Ingredients:
* 2 Tbsp. olive oil
* 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
* 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
* 1 tsp. honey or maple syrup
* pinch sea salt
* 1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh dill, more for garnishing

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C.

2. Wash and trim asparagus (snap off the ends instead of cutting them – this ensures that you remove the woody bottom parts which differ from spear to spear). Peel the spears from top to bottom to remove their stingy outer portion. Drain the caper berries and slice in half lengthwise.

3. Place asparagus and caper berries on a baking sheet and drizzle with ghee or oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and place in the oven. Bake for 10-20 minutes (this will vary depending on the thickness of the asparagus) until slightly golden at the tips and al dente - tender, but with some tooth.

4. While the asparagus is roasting, whisk all the dressing ingredients together.

5. Place cooked asparagus a serving tray and drizzle with the Mustard Dill Dressing while still hot, sprinkle with more salt if desired. Garnish with springs of dill. Serve immediately.

a brand new week . . .

Cheers to starting a work week on a Tuesday - it sounds so sweet to say that tomorrow is already Wednesday! This weekend was perfection - spent time with family in Carmel celebrating my birthday and cousins graduation, took in the sea air with a brunch in Tiburon and got to see a spectacular fireworks show on the Golden Gate Bridge. I don't use this word very often, but it was epic! You can see photos from the weekend over on instagram. What did you end up doing this weekend? I'm sure it was fabulous.

A few things I've been loving - the new (in the US) issue of Vogue Living Australia that is chalked full of inspiration, bright pink peonies, a new notebook and pencil for list writing and lastly, a birthday present from my auntie and cousin - a clutch I'm totally in love with. 

I hope all you have a beautiful week ahead friends!
