During my trip to Arizona earlier this month, one of my favorite days was spent driving the Apache Trail. It’s one of America’s historic byways and absolutely breathtaking.

Sugar skulls. I bought this canvas print, Dia de Los Muertos Girl, from Gargoyle Canvas at the Downtown Chandler Art Walk. But, you can also visit their etsy shop.

Last weekend, my husband and I had a chance to see one of his closest friends get married. It was a beautiful and intimate ceremony with a laid back style that reflected the couple’s taste and the feel of Cape May.

Around two months ago, my parents bought a house along the Delaware River on the Pennsylvania and New York state border. Much like my current home, it’s a fixer-upper, only much more so. It has loads of potential and is situated on breathtaking land. My parents got this house so our whole family could spend more time together, whether we’re hiking, kayaking or just relaxing by the fire. We’ve been there as many weekends as possible to work on the house. Expect lots of design and renovation projects from this place, but for now, here’s an introduction.

Our first wedding anniversary is this weekend. We aren’t traveling anywhere tropical this year, so I thought I’d revisit our honeymoon in Costa Rica with a few photographs. Some silly, some breathtaking – not only do these bring back fantastic memories, they offer great design inspiration.
{loved this restaurant in Tamarindo. I doubt I’ll live in a tropical area, but I can imagine having something similar at a lake house}
So Pretty is as Pretty Does.
