An All New Restoration Hardware

Tuesday, August 31, 2010


Restoration Hardware
has reinvented itself. They have redefined their style and it is beautiful. I love the catalog's description of their new point of view, "No longer mere 'retailers' of home furnishings, we are now 'curators' of the best historical design the world has to offer." Lucky for me, that includes many pieces in linen. Here are a few to look at now...

Toscane Linen Nailhead Bench


Vintage French Linen Pillow Covers

Belgian Linen Provence Stripe Bedding

Belgian Linen Classic Stripe Bedding

Belgian Linen Knit Throw

This fall Restoration Hardware will open their new Gallery stores nationwide. I can't wait to step inside one!

I am a huge fan of Coastal Living magazine. Check out this month's cover, isn't it beautiful? Their design team seems to love linen as much as I do. Here are just a fews great shots of rooms utilizing linen.

Eat Pray Love

Sunday, August 8, 2010


"I walked home that night feeling like the air could move through me, like I was clean LINEN fluttering on a clothesline, like New York itself had become a city made of rice paper and I was light enough to run across every rooftop."
Eat Pray Love, Elizabeth Gilbert

This movie comes out August 13th. I can't wait! Are you with me? :) Heather

New Orleans' White Linen Night

Thursday, August 5, 2010



I left a little piece of my heart in New Orleans the first time I visited. The music, food and architecture are unmatched in my opinion. Plus, locals just know how to have fun! Which brings me to White Linen Night happening this Saturday, August 7th in the Warehouse Arts District also known as the "Soho of the South." The 16-year-tradition includes a five block street party with live music, over 20 art galleries opened for shopping, wine and my favorite part...attendees dressed in white linen.

Now, I have never been to the event which makes it important to know someone who has...our friends and New Orleans locals, Todd Lewis (bestman a our wedding) and his wife and costume designer, Claire Breaux. I love Claire's style and she promises to send photos of what they decide to step out in Saturday night. Here is the plan though: Todd will have on a white, short-sleeved, linen, Tommy Bahama shirt, seersucker shorts and topsiders. Claire will be in a floral print silk blouse, white linen pants and nude wedges. I can't wait for her photos!

Here are some great options for white dresses...

J. Crew - Linen-Silk Bustier Dress
$198

Athleta - Lanai Linen Dress
$29.99

Calypso - Rope Tunic
$165

LinkCalypso - Annette Tux Dress
$195

Lilly Pulitzer - Cormick Dress
$178

Elie Tahari - Sophie Dress
$352


And if one linen party isn't enough for you, the city celebrates the following Saturday with Dirty Linen Night. This is a party in the French Quarter where you wear the linen clothing from the previous week...unwashed. I love a city with a sense of humor.

Happy almost weekend - Heather


Bella Tunno Diaper Bag

Wednesday, August 4, 2010

I saw this Bella Tunno "Beautifully Basic" diaper bag on Nordstrom's website and absolutely love it! At $79.95 you can't beat the price. It is made out of a linen/cotton combo. I went straight to the Bella Tunno website and found a few other wonderful colors. If I didn't already have two diaper bags, I would definitely be purchasing one of these.

Enjoy!
