My dresser is broken (the drawers are busted beyond repair) and I’ve been telling myself that when I buy a new dresser, I’ll finally style this bedroom wall nicely. But here we are 2 years living in the Hobbit House and I still haven’t bought a new dresser! I have my eye on some beautiful high quality options, but they’re expensive and I simply can’t afford to invest in a big piece of furniture right now. That being said, I decided it was time to stop making excuses when it came to styling this nook. Let’s live in the present! So last week with the help of Eddie, I finally decorated this part of our bedroom.

Eddie and I headed over to Greystone Mansion Easter morning to do a little exploring before getting together with family. It’s a property I’ve never visited before and it was such a beautiful day, I knew it would make for a lovely holiday outing. The estate is owned by the city of Beverly Hills and the grounds are open to the public daily - no fee for parking or admission! It’s such a hidden gem, tucked away in the hills with a breathtaking view of the city. We didn’t explore inside the mansion itself as it’s is only open during special programs and events, but I hope to take a peek inside at some point in the future. The grounds alone are worth a viz though!

I’ve found if I’m ever a bit stressed or feeling overwhelmed with work, a simple walk outside in nature really helps to clear my mind and make me happy. I’m the sort of person whose mood is very much affected by my environment and what’s around me at any given moment. Whether it’s in a crowded grocery store, shopping mall, or sidewalk with people in a hurry and brushing past, or the daily LA traffic with drivers honking their horns, constantly cutting you off - I very easily become stressed and anxious in these sort of conditions. I wish I wasn’t so affected by external forces! But a bit of nature always does the trick to elevate my mood, calm me down, and simply reset. Away from cars, crowds, loud noises - just grass, trees, plants, and wildlife to keep you company.

I can’t get enough of this bronze shade lately! It’s so earthy and gorge, don’t you think? I always feel good wearing this color, I just love how it pops. While Eddie and I were visiting Vista we took some photos at our Airbnb wearing my new fave dress by The Odells in this shade. Funny story - we actually got in a bit of a bicycle accident the day before these pics were taken, so I was limping around with a swollen knee and scrapes in between shots bahaha. Pretty pitiful, but funny in hindsight - and the scenery was too gorge not to capture! :)

By now you probably know that comfort is key when it comes to my style. I do love to get dressed up and throw on a pair of heels every now and then, but my day to day outfits consist of mostly flowy, loose pieces paired with flats, sandals, or boots. This two piece look has got to be one of my comfiest outfits to date! Plus I can never resist this camel color, I lob it so much.
