A Love For: Freda Salvador
It doesn’t happen often, but when a label really speaks to my heart, I take a moment to elaborate why on my blog.
Last year, my love for Freda Salvador began. A brand founded and led by women, Freda creates unique (yet classic) designs that somehow blend traditional with a little bit of surprise and edge. Each shoe is crafted with practical construction (like a sturdy outsole), with quality materials, and is ethically sourced and crafted by family factories in Spain and El Salvador.

Travel Essentials — A Less is More Approach
Over the years, I’ve learned that packing for trips is somewhat of an art form. Not sure about you, but I am not that person that wants to haul a ton of belongings on a trip — I prefer to pack as lightly as possible, with my quality essentials, so that I have less to worry about as a I move throughout my travels.
Spring Investment Pieces - My Personal Checklist

Wardrobe Boundaries & Longest Loved Staples
I’ve learned that every decision I make throughout the day requires brain power—even the seemingly simple calls, such as what to make for breakfast or what type of detergent to buy for my washer. For that reason, I really try to streamline and simplify as much as I possibly can so that I don't have to think much about it.
My wardrobe is no exception to this rule: I keep my closet small and streamlined so that getting ready in the morning takes the least amount of thought as possible. Some call this minimalism, or a capsule collection, or a “fewer, better” mentality (thanks to Cuyana’s brilliant mission statement).
I’m not sure what to label my closet, but I do know that I have certain boundaries and criteria to what makes it’s way in there.
Gifts for Home Body & Sensory Lover
Here, I share carefully selected gift items that, to me, seem very grounding for the mind, body, and spirit. After all, I believe there is nothing richer than the feeling of internal peace, and sometimes, our external environment and cherished items can guide us there.
Oversized Sweaters for the Win
Pregnant or not, an oversized sweater is always a win (seriously, is there anything cozier?). Large knits are essentially wearable blankets, as far as I’m concerned. Not only are they cozy, but let’s be real, its nice to have the extra room in our tops once the colder season hits and we go into hibernation mode.
A Recent Favorite: Striped Sweaters
A reader recently asked me if I like to incorporate patterns into my minimalist wardrobe. The answer is: YES! I adore a beautiful floral in the warmer months, but for this colder season ahead, I am loooving classic stripes.

An Ode to Feminine White Tops
When I find something I know I love, and will wear all the time, then I can justify owning many iterations of that particular thing. For me, that thing is pretty white blouses. I love how white blouses can be dressy, but casual. Feminine, but not too girly. On a weekend, or to work. Here’s a roundup of my favorite white blouses.
A Plus Minus Approach to Home Design
Plus Minus, at its core, is about finding ways to interact with the external world that brings us peace and wellbeing. Interior design is no exception to this central philosophy. Really, interior design is so much more than what is sexy to the eye—it is the way we play with an environment to create a sensational experience and emotional impact.
