Candles

I've never really been a fan of candles.  But lately, I've been seeing them everywhere and reading about the benefits of such a simple luxury.  In The Happiness Project, Gretchen talked about hunting down the scent of a Jo Malone Orange Blossom candle at a party and promptly buying one for her office.

I've also heard that because scent is so powerful in recalling memories, it can be fun to take a new candle on a vacation and each time you light the candle at home you can be taken back to your trip.  I think that's such a lovely idea. 

Do you have any favorite candles?

Outfit Inspiration: Kendi Everyday

I love the simplicity of Kendi's outfits on her blog Kendi Everyday.  She also runs Bloom, an adorable clothing store in north Dallas, Texas.

Chance

Chance is a lovely pop-up brand that captures basics in a new way.  Julia Leach started by updating the original model of the St. James Striped tee and manages to blend adventure with tradition beautifully.  Her totes and Turkish foutas lend the same reliability and style.

Interior of the Week

I love how Emily Henderson's Lake House project turned out.  It's classic and clean-lined, but retains a sense of whimsy and charm.
