I created this site in 2010 when I moved to San Francisco—so enamored by my new life, first apartment, and feeling like the world was my oyster. I spent years building this space and in 2016, I was able to leave my desk job to focus on my blog full-time. So proud of the bravery and self-belief in that move, it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Over the years, I have worked on dream partnerships—such as Net-A-Porter, Goop, Auberge, Jo Malone London—and have cultivated the most lovely and loyal readership.

My approach to creating and sharing is rooted in refinement. With an appreciation for quality and a love of attention to detail — I live for seeking out the special and unique. I love sourcing beautiful things that I believe have a place in your home and closet for the longhaul—but just as much enjoy discussing mindfulness and how to live with intention. I like to keep it well-rounded, not niche here!

I often borrow the quote from Henry Miller — “to make living itself an art, that is the goal” — because it perfectly articulates my personal ethos.

I hope this space brings you new ideas, helps train your eye, and offers you a sense of peaceful escapism! Thank you so much for reading. x

Creativity has always felt like an exhale that makes me come alive. From my earliest memories of clipping inspiration from my mom’s Vogues, moving my bedroom around weekly, to naturally gravitating to the internet in those AOL dial-up days. I taught myself photography, graphic design, writing, and eventually coding. It’s always been in my nature to share the things I love with friends and family, so taking part in the world of blogging was a natural unfolding.
