Villa D’Este, Lake Como
On our trip, we had the pleasure of staying at the absolutely, stunningly beautiful, Villa D’Este Hotel in Cernobbio. If you look at the website, you can see aerial shots.

Ciao, Bella!
I’m. In. Venice! And it’s down right amazing. Though I’ve visited this beautiful city before, I have the pleasure of being with my family this time around!

Salt.
My family recently voyaged to Amelia Island for a car show (my father is super into cars, his winner at Amelia, pictured above).

Like, loveContinue reading “Salt.”

Five Things.
Louisville skyline from the top of the walking bridge, Big Four Bridge. Lavender Lemonade from one of my fav spots, garage bar. Giant chalkboard wall outside of Speed’s market location. I went with something in the vein of my wanderlust rather then earth-shattering. “eat sushi in japan” Derby pins at WhyLouisville. I just love Derby.Continue reading “Five Things.”

I’ve been feeling a bit crafty lately. And with summer in full bloom, what better to tackle then a gilded vase!

You’ll need: A good gold metallic sprayContinue reading “DIY: Gilded Vase”
Natural Jewelry Cleaning
Rings and watch bands get really dirty with everyday wear. Lotions, perfume, body-oils… it builds up. Every few weeks I like to clean my rings so they sparkle like new!
