Confession – I suck at real estate. Clearly it’s not my full-time job nor am I am a licensed broker. But in my “dream” scenario, I’m wheeling and dealing with the likes of Josh Flagg and Tracy Tudor. The offers, the contingencies, the negotiations – oh my! 🙂 But no, that’s not my actual reality.
The Nicola Bathie Dillards Collection recently launched, and her designs with Antonio Melani turned out so beautifully! Today, I’m sharing more about this lovely floral midi dress and accessories.
Alright, I have a confession. I am a crazy Internet researcher. Yep, I’m that obsessive friend who Googles no less than 20 articles before adding anything to my cart. Case in point? Trying to find the best under counter wine fridge for our kitchen.
Whenever someone asks me about my personal home design style, I describe it as a blend of Grandmillennial meets coastal. A pinch of Dorthy Draper and a dash of all things ACK (i.e. Nantucket). While we love living in the Windy City, I’ve grown to appreciate a dose of serene and peaceful moments in the middle of a bustling urban environment. After more than a year of designing our home, one of the best ways we’ve embraced this serene vibe is with a well-curated mix of coastal home accessories.
I hope your week has been wonderful! As with previous Friday Charades, I’m sharing a round-up of my favorite links to read along with the best items shop around the web. Wishing you a relaxing weekend ahead!
The Studio McGee Outdoor Collection just launched, and it’s positively superb! In typical Shea style, every piece has been thought through within an inch of its life. Furthermore, there are so many patterns, textures, and natural hues to add life to an outdoor patio space. Additionally, the prices are fantastic!
Today marks the debut of the ChappyWrap x Lemon Stripes blanket collection! A handful of weeks ago, my sweet friend Julia of lemonstripes.com reached out to let me know she had a collaboration with the Maine-based blanket company. Naturally, I chose the blue stripe “Westport” style. I knew it would be the perfect compliment to our outdoor decor! There’s also a yellow and blue lemon print and a classic blue floral print!
The Inside
Today, I’m excited to reveal our custom The Inside X Benches! Over the past few months, I’ve been searching for a pair of benches to place in our home. First, the benches are a great way to elevate the look, feel and texture within a space. Plus, they offer extra seating for guests. After reviewing countless options, I stumbled on The Inside and immediately fell in love with the brand.

Today, I’m thrilled to share a preview of the H&M Home Diane von Furstenberg collection. Friends, the line is FABULOUS. DVF brings her maximalist prints and vibes to the entire interiors-focused assortment. Think tabletop, home decor and textiles. Furthermore, the capsule collection is wallet-friendly (i.e. it won’t cost you a fortune for a single vase). Praise be!
