We believe we should all love where we live.

By far, the most monumental month this year has come to a close. We walked along sandy beaches in St. Lucia with our team, walked all over our new floor pops collection (restock coming soon I promise), and walked right into our Rubbermaid launch. You guys sold us out on Amazon so fast, but keep your eyes peeled in your local Targets and Krogers this weekend. But probably the biggest moment of all was celebrating our One Year Anniversary in this red brick home. It’s been a fast, wild year which is why I’m decorating at a much slower pace these days.

School’s out any day now and we’re really looking forward spending our first full summer here in North Carolina. Any day now and we’ll have a pool we’ll get to enjoy. Here’s a few of my favorite things from May!

May Favorites

1. Chris Loves Julia x Rubbermaid Food Storage Containers $30 This collection is a piece of my heart and you guys were so quick to sell us out on Amazon the first hour of the first day. BUT I promise you there’s more coming and you’ll catch them in your local Target and Krogers soooon!
2. Chambray Stoneware Serving Platters $39 Had these on our Mother’s Day gift guide and they just now arrived. Hubba hubba, and they’re dishwasher safe.
3. Mens Woven Sneakers $165 These are Chris’s absolute fav shoes right now, also included in the Father’s Day gift guide.
4. Embroidered Tee $26 I cannot get enough of this cute tee with the embroidered crewneck.
5. Jimena Black Round Vase $70 I keep this cutie vase in the entry but I want to steal it for every room.
6. Adidas Ultraboost 21 Running Shoe $117 I literally have these in 4 colors now, I love them so much!
7. Sorel Sandals $120 It’s sandal season baby! Been wearing these every day. They are so comfortable and cushy and I love that they strap on so I can move easily.
8. Industrial Ceiling Fan $719 Hung this in the guest house and it changed the vibe completely.
9. Forest Etchings $30+ We hung these in the guest house as well (in these frames) and they are stunning.
10. High Rise Dad Shorts $70 My new favorite pair of denim shorts. I’m obsessed with the paneling.
11. Round Wood Pedestal Accent Table $110 Used these as nightstands in the guest house!
12. Tie Cut Out One Piece $38 Everybody needs a little black suit, and don’t forget to check out the swimsuit roundup!
13. Stockholm Fan D Lier $918 The shining star in the home gym that makes me feel like I’m in some boujee vacation gym.
14. Citizens of Humanity Jeans $228 I tried out these jeans in a recent Evereve haul and I love the loose, casual fit.
15. Razor Crazy Cart Shift $224 We have a really long driveway and the girls will ride these around for hours.
16. Black Cube Wok $140 Pairs best with sweet & sour shrimp ;)

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
