The Citizenry: Globally Inspired Decor

I remember going to a cozy dinner with The Citizenry team in Malibu last year, and my love for them immediately expanded. Not only are their pieces gorgeous, meaningful and beautifully hand-picked, but their mission aligns so much with mine: Make Your Home a Sanctuary.They believe that our homes should be a reflection of the journey we take, which I think is the most purposeful perspective on how to design, create, and enjoy the place you reside to the fullest capacity. They travel the world to develop the exclusive collections of home goods - can it get any better? When I started designing our home and as I get older, the more I want everything in it to mean something. There is so much value in that and a basket just isn't a plain basket when it has a story, a purpose, and soul to it.They partner with master artisans, blending a modern style with their time-tested techniques. As they travel to each country and only use local materials, the relationships have become entirely sustainable. Oh! And what is even better? They set out to celebrate the people behind the products - it is a way to share their stories with you!

 I hope you've been enjoying our series on Making A Home. Jase and I have been so grateful for this process, and it has been even more special to share it with you each week on the blog! Stay tuned for more pictures to come, including a look at our before and afters of our home renovation.

Native Union: Simple Technology for the Home

guest room

I'm excited to continue week three on the blog with you of Making A Home. For those of you who have been following along, you know what a special process it has been for Jase and me to renovate our home and take extra care in filling it with clean, safe, and simple items that we love. Though it has been a longer journey than expected, many of you have been asking, and I'm excited to finally share! Over the next few weeks I'll be sharing all things home, before and afters, and brands we've come to love along the way.Jase and I were shopping one day in Malibu, and we walked in the coolest store. I came across the most high-quality wireless chargers, and the rest is history. Nothing takes the coziness out of a room more than technology cords, and I always have the hardest time finding USB chargers, cases, and wireless chargers that actually look nice in a home.It was like a whole new world opened up when I discovered Native Union. It is our go-to brand for all technology needs, and the quality is an A++. My most favorite thing we use are the drop wireless chargers we put in our room and the guest rooms. It is such a nice feeling when you don't have to find a place to charge your phone. First world problem by far, but I am so thankful for these inventions that add a classic twist to something we use every day.Here are the pieces we love:

• This leather case for air pods is so pretty and such a functional gift.

• This is the best laptop charger.

• We have these on the nightstands of all of our rooms.

• A perfect sleeve for a laptop and an iPad.

• This case is so good.

I hope you’re enjoying following along with our home process – And, more to come over the next few weeks on my Instagram and right here on the blog. Xo

Pajamas all day tee | Sweatpants | Glasses | White + gold mug | Laptop caseOne of my favorite things about blogging has been getting discover and work with new slash amazing brands. I fell in love with ILY Couture a few months back and find myself more obsessed with them with every new addition to their site! wifey tee | scarf | sunnies (get your first month FREE with code "laurenkaysims") | boyfriend jeans | booties | fringe cross body bagI'll be real with ya'll. More often than not, I am just not in the mood to dress up. But unfortunately wearing pajamas to run errands isn't necessarily acceptable. I love ILY Couture because their tees are not only extremely soft and comfortable, but they're still chic at the same time. I love that I can sleep in these tees if I want to, but also pair it with a scarf or one of their super chic sunnies and have a really put together look.Another reason the ILY Couture website is quickly becoming a go-to shopping spot for me is the price point. Seriously these sunnies look so high end and are $22?! I'm all about that. Their tees are great quality and actually don't fall apart in the wash, yet for a price that won't break the bank!

Pantsuits can be a major hit or miss, yet they are extremely flattering if they accentuate the right places.  Fitting adjectives:  super classy and crazy chic. Sport this major spring trend with me! P.S. {pop the look with a bright earring}.
