Sound Check: A Case of You

James Blake is one of those rare artists whose voice and melodies are so hypnotizing and stir something in your heart. His cover of Joni Mitchell’s “A Case of You” is just devastatingly beautiful. You’d never know this brilliant kid is only 24 years old!

The Mr. is heading out of town for a month of training on Monday, so we’ll be spending lots of good QT together this weekend (with a fire and dinner out). Have a great weekend! xo

Day Dreaming

hanging string balls

How cool are these hanging string balls? They would be so sweet for a party, or even in a nursery.

Since we’ve been thinking about starting a family, I’ve enjoyed day dreaming about which room in our house could become a nursery, and what it might look like:

Sweet name display.

White-washed floor.

Who doesn’t love the color gray?

A Good Chambray is Hard to Find

chambray shirt

I have been in the market for a good ol’ trusty chambray shirt for quite a while. It’s such a versatile, comfy piece that I can imagine wearing to death all spring and summer long.

I recently purchased this one, but felt it was too stiff and boxy, and not true to size (a small swallowed me, which is unusual). So I’ve been on the hunt – here, here, here, and here. And although the price tag is steep on some of them, I think I’ll get my money’s worth if it’s a good fit.

Does anyone out there have a perfect chambray they love to pieces? I would love suggestions!

Sound Check: Wonder

Move over Beyoncé. Emeli Sandé’s album Our Version of Events is AMAZING – one of my most favorites in a long time. While a lot of the songs on this album are soulful and quiet, ‘Wonder’ is so energizing and joyful. Happy Friday!

Speaking of Beyoncé, I’m excited to see this. How about you?
