some favorites.

This Austin home belonging to the designer behind Go Forth Creative is so simple and pretty. Her houseplant collection is on point. 

This historic Charleston home belonging to entrepreneurs Erin Connelly and Brooks Reitz is filled with unique details. And their bathroom is the bathroom of my dreams. 

This white walled California home is filled with an amazing collection of art. I especially love all the nudes - they are so beautiful.

This California home designed by Amber Interiors combines two of my favorite things: global textiles and mid-century modern.

This lovely instagram account belonging to J.Crew stylist Frank Muytjens - his home is quite handsome.

This victorian home renovation has so many beautiful details. I love the farmhouse-esque kitchen.

This simple and pretty home featured on the Glitter Guide belongs to Ariane Goldman - founder of the maternity line Hatch. She shares the Soho home with her husband and daughter. She describes her home in three words: warm, beautiful, haven. Most accurate. Her maternity line is quite fashionable as well. Everything is designed to be worn before, during, and after pregnancy. I'm not expecting but I could go for this shirt and these shorts!

Since getting a Kindle I have been reading books like crazy. I was surprised to find out how many e-books are available to borrow through my local library and Amazon Prime has a fair selection as well. I have yet to purchase a book since the Kindle came into my life.

The above titles are the latest books I've read. "The Fault in Our Stars" was hands down my favorite. I finished it in less than 24 hours and may have even cried a bit. Also, I just started "The Goldfinch" - so far it has started out slow but I'm sure it will live up to all the hype. Happy Monday!

This upstate New York home belonging to Frank Muytjens is the perfect weekend retreat. He has perfected the classic, masculine, but also modern look. It makes sense that Muytjens is head of menswear design at J.Crew - a brand known for its updated classic style. Check out the rest of his home over on TRNK-NYC.

This beautiful antique filled home has caught my eye today. I'm especially loving the bathroom- the wood floors, claw foot tub, and marble top vanity. Such a pretty spin on a more traditional style.

Today I'm admiring this home belonging to stylist Janette Crawford of Sun + Dotter. Her home is filled with an amazing collection of one of a kind finds. I love the eclectic mix. Her company focuses on styling for families and her home is proof that you can have a beautiful home even after the little ones come along.

This pool house and backyard featured on Domaine is absolutely beautiful. I love the quaint English cottage feel. It's very inviting.

I've been on a documentary kick again lately. These are a few of my recent favorites from Netflix.

comparison.

"Do we focus on building a real life that makes us happy or do we attempt to live an Instagram life and pretend it makes us happy?"

The hubs sent me this article from the New York Times and it struck a chord with me. Theodore Roosevelt was right when he said, "comparison is the thief of joy." As a lover of Instagram and blogs it is important to remember to keep things in perspective. Do what makes you happy. 

Happy hump day.

I am digging this Portland home belonging to the owner of Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co. His family's home is filled with charming details like the amazing floor to ceiling beadboard. It is no surprise that they use their beautiful home as the backdrop for their company's catalog shoots.
