Urban Table

Last evening I tried a new Local eatery, Urban Table.  It is a Bread and Butter Concept, that is really hitting it off in Corinth Square just like the sister restaurant BRGR

The wrap around porch like seating area has a comfortable feeling adding to the farmhouse appearance.  Food. Wine. Social. is exactly what you get when walking into Urban Table.  This place is perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  I have only experienced dinner here but it was a great one.  We "opened" with Olives and a Tomato Salad with a Lemon Mustard Vinaigrette, they both arrived in fun serving dishes. 


The rustic chandeliers and raw wood tables really add something to the experience, you don't feel like you are in Kansas anymore (sorry had to) .  Walls decorated with wine bottles and statement mirrors opens up the space.  The bathrooms are also innovative with a few communal sinks and adding to the rustic farmhouse theme the signage fits in perfectly and is just so adorable.

Perfect Pairing

It's time for another "Perfect Pairing" post, and this time we are inspired by a room that has both indoor and outdoor elements.  The weather is cooling down and an open-air room is ideal this time of year. 

Living In


Airy Veranda

Going Out


A Chiffon Cardi represents the Airy Curtains and is a staple in this room and on this look

Bold Wide Leg Trousers show off the accent rug and pillows in this fun room
Straw Fedora is meant to be a look-alike to the chairs in this room, the natural texture is crucial in the room and really adds something to this outfit


Striking Glass Bead Earrings are as playful as all the bright accessories are in the veranda
The Final piece in this outfit is a Cream Crossbody Bag that is as romantic as the lanterns hanging in the sun kissed trees


 As always keep getting inspired by environments around you whether you are inside or out, decorating or getting dressed.

Take Me to the River


 We are heading down south (kinda) to Noel, Missouri this weekend to float the Elk River and camp for 2 nights.


 This is some of our first times floating, and our first time camping in a long time!! Hopefully the rain holds out and hopefully we are prepared. I guess we will find out! Some of the things we packed are necessities, some not so much...



These songs have been stuck in my head all day while thinking about our trip.




Hope you have a great and safe weekend, whether you're floating, camping, swimming, grilling or sitting. Enjoy!

Summer Colors...having a blast

Pink and Yellow are two of my favorite colors this season whether it be in your home, the art you display, the flowers you cut, the color scheme for a party, the shoes on your feet or a fun bright accessory.  What color would you choose....
