Little bits of Luxe

Little bits of luxe

Some of these are obvious luxury pieces, while others might need an explanation as to why they are so great. Allow me to break it down for you.

Erin touched on photography during her presentation at Go Blog Social back in April and until the other day, I had spaced off just how badly I wanted/needed the marble slab she suggested for entertaining and styling purposes. To most of you, it might just look like a ginormous piece of marble, but to me it screams, “better photos!”….”fancy cheese plates!”

Every night when I stroll into Bar Method I’m greeted with the sensational aroma of an Archipelago candle. After nearly six months, I picked one up after class last weekend for our apartment and it is to die for. I went with Currant because they didn’t have any of the Arugula in stock, but both of them are equally intoxicating. Stop by and shop if you’re in Kansas City or order online down below! Speaking of Bar…I totally drank the koolaid and bought a pair of the rubbery soled socks and I swear my heel lifts were a little better the first time I wore them.

It’s easy to get sucked into the madness and constant presence of social media and this reminder from Jess Lively to “Be Present” is an absolute necessity. Cell phone free socializing is extremely rare these days – a true luxury in itself.

I’m Oribe-obsessed and I love everything miniature so this travel kit is a given. Who’s up for a trip?!

The thought of having stationary made just for me seems so fancy and I never underestimate the power of a handwritten note. Whether you’re sending a quick note to a friend or thanking someone for an intro that landed you a new job, these two pieces from The Atelier Shop fit the bill.

Ah, the highly coveted iPhone 6 (at least for me anyways). I played around with a friend’s a few weekends ago and the photos it produces blow my measly old 5C out of the water. Why must I not be eligible to upgrade until December 2015?! The promise of better photos is enticing, the price, not so much.

Shop the items below:

{Crate & Barrel marble slab //  Archipelago Arugula Candle // Be Present Print // Hand Lettered Stationary // Monogramed Cards // Oribe Travel Pack // Bar Method Socks // Apple iPhone 6}

What little luxuries are you loving right now?

      Fact: you will be addicted! My sister works at an Oribe Salon and I’ve never met a product created by them that I don’t like.

    Love, love the “Be Present” print. I’m making a conscious effort to put my phone away when I’m out with friends or family – it’s so important to live in the moment and really enjoy other people’s company. Cell phones can be so distracting. Also, obsessed the marble tray! I saw a DIY recently using marble contact paper as a backdrop for photos – a genius (and super affordable) idea for those of us without marble countertops!

    I completely agree about the marble pastry board! I use mine all the time for a backdrop but it also happens to come in handy whenever I’m rolling out dough. Love!
