I framed Emma (by @jyoungdesignhouse!) up in the @framebridge Marquette and love how she turned out ✨ Framebridge is my go-to place for framing—and I love that their founder went to UVA, too! They do quality work, have competitive prices, and their customer service truly goes above and beyond. Can’t recommend them enough! 💓 It only took me months of working from home to commit to a desk, but I love how this space is turning out—it’s been so helpful to have a dedicated spot to get things done that’s separate from where I spend my time after work.

IMPORTANT PSA FOR TO-GO COCKTAIL ENTHUSIASTS 🥂

IMPORTANT PSA FOR TO-GO COCKTAIL ENTHUSIASTS 🥂 You can now grab a to-go beverage and sip, stroll, and shop all around @villageatshirlington 💃 My sister and I grabbed mimosas from @dudleyssportandale yesterday and did just that—it was such a nice way to enjoy the mild-ish day and mix things up. ☀️ These winter days have been really tough, but getting out of the house, walking around, and cheers-ing with strangers (from afar, of course!) was the most fun I’ve had in a while. 🍾🍊 Dudley’s has a great mimosa deal on weekends—$5 for a bottle of champs, $5 for a carafe of OJ, but lots of other restaurants in The Village are participating, too—a full list is on their website! To cap off our afternoon, we picked up @carlyle_gar to-go 🍔🍟 Their grilled chicken + havarti sandwich is my all-time fave! ✨ Thanks to @villageatshirlington for having us out for a great afternoon!

“...and so, when far away, in memory, we still shall be at the dear old U-Va.” 💙 Had to add a little piece of my favorite place to my work-from-home desk! (Note to my March 2020 self: you may want to pack up your entire desk before leaving the office. I miss all my nice pens + highlighters, hah!) ✨ I love this mug featuring a beautiful watercolor of The Rotunda from @sofia.lenore that I found on Etsy—it’s also available as a print!

Home sweet home 🤍 New post is up on the blog today and I’m talking about my Dixie Aloha faux bamboo dresser from @degfurnituredesigns that I purchased in September. I love having it as a credenza in my living room! This is my second time buying vintage furniture online—you know I love my green dresser, too!—so I’m also sharing all about my experience purchasing these two investment pieces, including: ✔️ pricing + shipping
✔️ why I always request touch up paint
✔️ how I find new pieces
✔️ how I protect my furniture Excited to see how this apartment continues to come together in 2021! ✨

New year, new notepad 💙 It’s back to work for me tomorrow—the Sunday scaries are definitely creeping in over here! But I’m excited for all the to-dos to come because I’ll be writing them down on the cutest striped shirt notepad from @sarafitzstudio ✨ She has the cutest shop—everything from notecards to notepads to gift wrap to wallpaper. I love her work!
