Sydney Heaton Meets Haute Pink

This week I had the chance to catch up with one of my oldest friends, Sydney, in my hometown of Rock Hill. We have known each other since the fourth grade, and now we were fortunate to reconnect and collaborate on a few exclusive jewelry pieces.

When she was a young girl, she used to raid her grandma’s jewelry box, and loved to layer on piles of pearls. Thus began her journey with jewelry. Fast forward to today, she started her own jewelry business this year because she couldn’t find exactly what she wanted in stores, so she decided to make it herself. Can you say #girlboss?

Sydney has a self-proclaimed edgy style, as she likes to mix anything from gunmetal to gold. She adds druzy stones and pave pendants to complete her collection. What’s special about her pieces is that they are only available in limited quantity, so every piece is unique.

The goal of Sydney Heaton Designs is ‘to create trendy, unique & affordable pieces that make women feel confident and empowered.’ I had the pleasure of working with her to blend both of our aesthetics into these chic pieces.

I don’t know what was more fun, stringing these necklaces or shooting these looks, but the best part was using our creative passions to collaborate. If you want to join in on the fun, be sure to shop her collection on the links below and show off your Sydney Heaton style!

Babysitting in Lilly

What’s more fun than throwing a Lilly themed baby shower? Welcoming this sweet little girl home in Lilly! Our childhood neighbor Morgan gave birth to this beautiful baby Aris. She’s our warrior because she had a hard fight for her life, so we were overjoyed to have her home.

I can tell this little one and I are going to get along great, as I can already see she has the best taste! Aris’ nursery is a Lilly Pulitzer for Pottery Barn dream. My favorite spot is the mermaid suite, a perfect place for baby cuddles, complete with petite palms and Lilly pillows.

Not to mention, this crib is too sweet not to share. I am in love with the pink lemonade sheets and the diamond mobile. The most precious piece is this plush teddy, made from her late father’s cashmere sweater. What an amazing way to pass on his amazing memory to the next generation.

There’s so many more adornments around this nice little nursery, from wooden chandeliers to pom pom curtains and flamingo rockers. Although, the most important part is the fabulous  family living here. It was so inspiring to see the love and happiness surrounding their home. It was such a great moment meeting baby Aris, and I can’t wait to see her grow into a lovely Lilly lady!

Marimekko X Target

This Spring season, the colorful fashion house Marimekko collaborated with the ever- affordable Target, to create the perfect combination of cheap yet chic lines.

“Simple and spirited, Marimekko infuses its authentic Nordic sensibility and iconic prints into a signature collection of fashion and home pieces. Splashed with color, pattern and purpose, Marimekko is a true hallmark of Finnish art and design that never goes out of style.”

I was originally drawn to their warm collection and was inspired to take it from table side to poolside for a picnic. These were a few of my favorite pieces that brought the fun, while I soaked up some sun. I have to say, this is the best thing that’s happened to Target since Lilly Pulitzer. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next, from haute fashions to home decor and more!
