The journal
In her spare time, Jaime can be found in her garden, trying out a new recipe, near the closest body of water, traveling and practicing her photography or on the hunt for another antique treasure. She shares a little bit of all of that and more here in her journal.

2026 Gift Guide
There’s an art to giving the perfect gift – one that feels thoughtful, elevated, and a little bit unexpected. Around here, we don’t believe in last-minute scrambling or gifting just to gift.

NOVEMBER MOOD
November has arrived with its quiet hush; shorter days, crisp air, and the comforting weight of a favorite sweater. After a stretch of months that weren’t exactly easy, we’re leaning into what feels good: slow mornings, familiar rituals, candlelight dinners, and the textures that remind us of the comfort of home. This month is about…

October mood
Let’s face it: everyone secretly wants to live inside a Nancy Meyers movie. Her kitchens alone could win Oscars. But what is it exactly that makes us want to crawl into those sets, pour ourselves a glass of Chardonnay, and never leave? To me, it’s because her homes are livable. They aren’t pristine, untouchable museum…

September mood
As summer lingers with its golden light and the first hints of fall begin to arrive, our September mood is inspired by one of our greatest muses: Europe. I was meant to be in France this month for a girls’ trip, and while life had other plans, I find myself pulling even more deeply from…

August MOOD
Maybe it’s because shells were the original muses of interior design; with their spirals, soft pinks, and pearlescent layers – but my obsession with them has always felt innate. There’s something inherently poetic about their journey: once the delicate homes of sea-dwelling creatures, they’re now timeworn treasures that wash ashore, ready to be rediscovered. Each…

july mood
July has us leaning into the laid-back charm of fisherman core—sun-drenched days, salty breezes, and interiors that whisper of tides and timeworn tales. It’s the month for homes that feel like they’ve been handed down from a sea captain’s granddaughter: lived-in, loved-on, and layered with history. We’re talking washed linens in faded nautical tones, vintage…

june mood
There’s a sweetness to June that feels like a quiet exhale – the final bloom of spring meeting the golden whisper of summer. Our days are longer, the light stretches just a bit later, and the garden responds in kind. Inspired by our recent trip to the English countryside, we’ve returned home with hearts full…

May Mood
All the things we love about May: that unmistakable shift when it finally sinks in that the days are longer, the air is warmer, and time with friends stretches into the evening without anyone eyeing the door or huddling around a heat lamp. Suddenly, dinner becomes an event, not a sprint and conversations flow as…

april mood
April in Laguna Beach is a love letter to fresh starts. Sunlight stretches longer and the ocean breeze carries the scent of citrus and salt. My weekends always begin at the farmers market, baskets filled with sun-ripened fruit and fresh yogurt. Afternoons? Always reserved for hands in the soil, planting what will soon hopefully bloom,…

March Mood
“March exists in that delicate in-between—where winter lingers, but spring begins to stir. Frosty mornings melt into golden afternoons, and the air holds both a crisp chill (yes, even in Laguna Beach) and the quiet promise of renewal. Mornings feel especially still, the world wrapped in a soft hush before the day fully begins. There’s…
