a brand new week . . .

Happy Monday! I've been making it a weekend ritual to enjoy time away from work - catching up with friends, taking day trips to warmer weather and actually taking the time to read. That's exactly what happened this weekend - a day trip up to Napa to visit friends that just had a baby last week (he is adorable), spending mornings finishing a book, and spending a evening with are best friends who just got engaged. In my eyes it was perfection and just what I needed to restore energy for a busy work week.

To top it all off, these are the things that got me incredibly inspired this past week: the brand new Vogue Living Australia that never disappoints, gorgeous peonies that popped into my local grocery store, a postcard from the wonderful Will and Toby, my new orange Clare Vivier clutch that I can't stop using (it's beautiful!!) and then my necklace I got while I was in New Mexico in March. It's amazing to see the things in my life that inspire me - this new Monday post is so much fun!

PS. Be sure to check out my new Houzz post on outdoor entertaining inspiration!

I have the claire vivier clutch in cognac and it's easily my favourite piece that I own. It's so buttery soft and seriously goes with EVERYTHING.

A copy of Vogue Living AUS never lets you down...so much inspiration. Lovely to see the postcard making an appearance in your list of inspirations...honoured! That beach was just so beautiful I can't even put it into words. xx

Seeing your post today brought back so many memories. When we first moved back to the Bay Area we lived in a 500 sqft junior one bedroom on Sacramento Street (five or six houses off Fillmore). It could have been a beautiful apartment but our landlord wouldn't let us do anything to the space and so we moved out to The Haight the second our lease was up. Congrats on making a beautiful, small, inspired home.
