While everyone in social media land has seemingly moved on to all things fall, I am digging my heels in and I simply refuse to comply. At least, that is, for now… As much as I adore the fall season, I’m still busy over here basking in what’s left of summer. I’m convinced that the secret to surviving a Canadian winter is to soak up as much sunshine as I can while I’m able. So that’s exactly what I’m going to do.



We just returned from a family beach vacation ourselves (I’m posting about it next week, if that’s your thing!) and the destination couldn’t have been more perfect for my current mood. Think: all things summer in Nantucket. Our trip (what with four young kids in tow) was a much (much) more laid back version of what I’m about to share (read: not nearly as pulled together). But if I could really do it my way, this is the vibe I’d be after. It’s giving all things summer in Nantucket through and through, and it’s filled with all the loveliness one needs to really take advantage of what’s left of the season (in style).

scalloped home decor

You may have noticed that scalloped home decor has popped up everywhere lately, almost seemingly out of nowhere. From benches to bowls to window treatments and beyond, nothing is safe from the scalloped treatment. And honestly? I’m here for it. For many reasons – but mostly I love how it brings an element of playfulness and femininity into a room.

SHOP THE POST:

That said, when it comes to anything that feels “trendy” I would try to incorporate scalloped home decor in a restrained manner. A picture frame here, a beautiful pendant light there… just a few pieces to help a space feel current without, eventually, screaming 2023. Here are a few scalloped home decor items I’m loving right now. I’ve also added a dropdown “scalloped” menu to my shop (right here) so I can update the list as I stumble upon new things to love, so be sure to check back if this look is up your alley.

The weather here in Canada tends to be misunderstood in most places around the world. People often seem a little shocked when I mention that we have some of the most incredible summers known to man. I’m convinced it’s one of the main reasons we grin and bear it through the harsher winter months – ha. However, come this time of year? It’s absolutely our time to shine. The days are long and lingering, our lakes are cool and refreshing, and dining al fresco becomes a daily ocurrence.



And though we’ve eaten many dinners in our yard over the years, it was only this year that I picked up a set of really beautiful melamine dishes to set our table (these ones, here!)* In all honesty, having a dedicated set of light & unbreakable dishes that I don’t have to worry about has been a game changer when it comes to our outdoor dining experience. They are so beautiful and I swear they’ve encouraged us to take advantage of the outdoors even more than usual. It has me thinking about the other things that could really bring our dining al fresco game to the next level. Here’s how I’d do it in a dream world. A few things I’d like to slowly collect over the years, really.

** As an aside, I managed to grab a few of the Jillian Harris x Joe Fresh melamine dishes before they sold out (instantly). I LOVE them though. Anyway, I know a lot of people had their eye on them so if you’re one of em’ I really love this option as an alternative

Summer is finally here, and it’s time to soak up the sun and enjoy the long, lingering, warm days. As we officially kick off the season (today!), I couldn’t be more thrilled to share my list of summer must-haves.



It’s been a busy few weeks around here lately, and though the weather has been lovely for some time now we just recently had the chance to pull all of our patio furniture out of storage. Our backyard is officially set up and ready and it feels so darn good. We’ve been dining al fresco almost exclusively since. And on Saturday night we ended up staying up late into the evening, chatting, wrapped up in blankets next to our fire pit and it absolutely exuded all of the loveliness that the season has to offer. So in light of today being the “official” first day of summer, here are a few things that I have my eye on this month. A few summer must-haves, if you will!

A Few Summer Must-Haves

note: I bought the bathing suit and it’s *chef’s kiss*

With summer officially in full swing, I’m calling it time to indulge in the season’s delights. From enjoying the comfort of your well-appointed patio, to soaking in style, I feel confident these summer must-haves will elevate anyone’s summer season. I, personally, am excited to see what’s in store.
