Finding Comfort

2017_08_31_LoLoMag12-0033-Edit.jpg

Over the past few years, decor & interiors have become something that we are really passionate about here at LSK. Decorating a home is such a special, personal process and results in a haven that is uniquely yours. How cool is that? It is fascinating to us how everyone's home is entirely different; a collection of one's past, things that they love and are drawn to, plus items and pieces that they see as inspiring, practical, beautiful, and comforting, or a combination of all of the above.We definitely believe that as people, we decorate our homes and make certain interior design choices with the goal of finding comfort. Consciously or not, we seek comfort in all areas of life; sometimes though it is just not possible, since the reality is that discomfort is a very normal part of life. However, our prayer is that all of our homes can be a little corner of comfort for us in this world. No matter what you call home, we pray that it is a place of comfort, rest, safety, and peace for you; a little sanctuary where you start your day and end your day, finding peace and hope no matter what sort of day you had or are having .When we discovered this chair from Bakarian Studio, we knew that it had to be a part of our home. The unique design, beautifully simple aesthetic, and comfort factor caught our attention immediately.  We had been searching for the right chair for this corner of our guest room and this one fits perfectly and finishes the room just the way that I hoped it would. My wish is that guests find comfort in this corner while staying at our home; curling up with a blanket to enjoy a cup of tea before bed, reading a book, or making a phone call. Thank you, Lauren, for this amazing addition to our home! Also, friends, be sure to follow Bakarian Studio on IG- their feed is so beautiful and inspiring.

Workout Plus Lounge

collection_sport_fall2016_01.jpg

Do you guys find yourself using workout clothes as lounge clothes, too? We do and we kind of love it. Clothes that function as workout plus lounge are so convenient. I find myself often being around the house in workout clothes, feeling comfortable, getting chores done, and then just heading out the door to the yoga studio or gym. On the way home, running to Whole Foods or picking up dry cleaning is no big deal, either. Versatility, comfort, style, and performance are all so important to us when it comes to workout clothes, since they serve more than one purpose. The active line from lou & grey, zella, alo yoga, lanston sport, outdoor voices, abercrombie's active line, and lululemon are a few amazing places to get workout clothes that are functional and chic. Scroll down for a list of a few favorite pieces // xo 

currently loving these active wear items:

these leggings | this crop top | this bra | this jacket

this sweatshirt | these tights | this tee | these pants

this tunic | this tank | these leggings | this crop |

this long sleeve crew | this hoodie | this tank

ily couture

ily-coutureily-coutureily-couturePajamas 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!ily-couture ily-couture 2015-09-17 17.42.56 ily-couture ily-couturewifey 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!

appropriate loungewear

So, I'll be straight with you guys: this post is going to show you a little tiny window into my soul. An addiction that some would say is unhealthy or obsessive. And I just say, it's necessary. I, Lauren Sims, am addicted to comfy pajamas. And I pride myself on the collection that I have built.I'm not a fan of just any comfy pajamas though. I've found adorable comfy pj's at Target before (not hating, just saying) that looked great on the hanger, and then I slept in them one time and they were a wrinkled disaster after that. No thanks. Or I washed them one and they shrunk up about two sizes.Michael and I recently went to the lake for the weekend with a group of our friends. My biggest struggle in packing for these trips is: "what will I bring to sleep/lounge around in?!" Obviously I want to be comfortable, yet still cute, yet appropriate all at the same time.Enter: eberjey. My #1 favorite pajama brand slash obsession. I'll be honest, this price point is more than what I was used to spending at say, Target or something. But ya'll I live in these pajamas. They are comfortable and light enough to sleep in, but appropriate enough to wear in front of friends or on a lake weekend.

If you feel like this price point is a little high for you, I've recently fell in love with Kensie pj sets. This one I wore at the lake is less than $50 for the set! The tank is super soft and the shorts are a great length.loungewear-setsKensie tank & shorts set

Another brand of appropriate loungewear that's super budget friendly is Honeydew Intimates. They have both matching PJ sets and loungewear for great prices!
