Since it’s midweek, I wanted to share some things that are inspiring me this week.

This article, video, and photo shoot of Lee Radziwill, sister of Jacqueline Kennedy, and a fascinating woman in her own right, has been all over the internet this week. I’ve found it completely inspiring; you should check it out if you haven’t already. I especially enjoyed getting glimpses of her chic Parisian apartment.
I tried this simple dessert recipe for blood oranges dipped in chocolate and sprinkled in sea salt. It was a delight to my tastebuds!
I appreciate interior designers who can inject color and a bit of unpredictability into rooms with classic foundations. Meg Braff’s interiors have me excited about creating similar spaces in my own home someday.
The final item that has inspired me this week is a quote from Nate Berkus’ interview in Matchbook Magazine’s latest issue, in which he describes his process for selecting rooms to feature in his latest book, The Things that Matter:
“The truth is I had one requirement and that is that the spaces really told the stories of the people who live in them. I took all the labels off what I thought was ‘good design.’ I wanted to get a collection of beautiful spaces together, but more importantly than that, I wanted to make sure that these people had the capacity to talk about why they chose the things they live with every day.”
This quote really resonates with me. It sums up what I would like to do in this space: inspire others to “talk about why they chose the things they live with [and wear] every day.”
