lovin' this new mc + space

Having had a background in the corporate world for many years, I have always admired the values and tradition of this specific company. I am honored to have recently worked with them. The ability to showcase their interpretation of color + aesthetic while maintaining a generational neighborhood feel, warms my heart and makes me crave some french fries. Hope you enjoy a different view from my typical pastel palette. Xx

Ginger Inspired Treats with a Genius in the kitchen, Sweet Lyon!!

Spices come to mind when I think of winter, snow, and the cold Chicago wind. This made for a perfect collaboration with Ms Alex Lyon of Sweet Lyon. She is amazing and I am fortunate to call her my friend. I hope you enjoy her beautiful creations!! You will find her recipe for the Ginger Carrot Spun Cake on Style Me Pretty Living. More Ginger inspired treats to follow so stay tuned to Style Me Pretty Living :)

I love simple and organic things. I find a sense of beauty in going back to basics. All of the greenery in this session can be found at your local whole foods. This makes for a great DIY center piece for your upcoming holiday table. All the white plating pieces are from crate and barrel. The Linens, which are my favorite kind of blue are from pottery barn along with the candle holders. I hope everyone can take some great pieces from this and utilize them this holiday season. xo
