Shop The Towel // Weezie Beach Towel // Weezie Beach Towel Bundle

When we moved into this house one of my main priorities for our outdoor area was to make it feel like we were at a boutique hotel. We didn’t have a pool in our old house so I was able start from scratch. I started with the furniture. I researched a lot but was very decisive once I found what I liked. My husband has a very European mentality of, “buy something of quality once and never again.” With that in mind I settled on Serena and Lilly. Their items were not only gorgeous but upon research the seemed to be made with great care. you can read about the outdoor furniture here.

Next on my list was beach towels. I wanted to have beautiful beach towels that my guests would want to use. My mother-in-law has Hermes beach towels and I always love getting out of the pool knowing I get to wrap up in a cozy towel. I had this dream of having a basket of Hermes beach towels so my guest could feel the same way I do when I get out of my in-laws pool. My dream was quickly crushed when I saw the price of each towel! I will save you the google search and let you know they are $580 a towel. My dream would wait.

I ended up going from Hermes to Amazon. I know. I know. I am surprised myself. But I found these striped beach towels “for an exceptional price” that went perfectly with our outdoor furniture. And they were great! We used them almost everyday last summer. And they were so inexpensive I didn’t care if Eleanor dropped watermelon on them. However, I pulled them out to use this summer, and like most inexpensive things, they didn’t stand the test of time. The last few months I have really been struggling with the idea of fast fashion and “quick, inexpensive” purchases. They don’t last and it seems so wasteful to have the mentality, “That is okay. I can always replace it.” I want to learn and stick with Brice’s concept of, the initial cost might hurt up front but if you buy quality, you buy it once.

So the search continued for beach towels to use this summer. I wanted quality but I still can’t bring myself to spend $580 a towel. This is when I got an e-mail from Weezie that they were launching a beach towel line. This seemed too good to be true considering I am a HUGE fan of theirs. I have their robe and bathroom towels and love them both so much. They make beautiful items but always keep quality in mind. This was the exact solution I needed.

I received my Weezie Beach Towel bundle (you can also buy single towels) and could not believe the softness and weight of each towel. They were almost identical to the Hermes towels I had fallen for years before. Ya’ll these towels are STUNNING and for a 1/3 of the cost of ONE Hermes towel, you can get FOUR Weezie beach towels. We have used them almost everyday for the past few weeks ago and I have washed them just as much (and they look brand new after every wash). I am so beyond excited to finally find a towel that I don’t have to sacrifice my wallet for quality. All I can say is, my search is finally over and I got everything I wanted/needed!

One of the questions I get asked the most is about the art in our home, particularly Eleanor’s bow art. I love finding new artists and art. I spend hours getting lost on Artsy and Instagram hoping to find the piece I can’t live without. With Eleanor’s bow art I felt that way when I saw it. I couldn’t live without it. However, I can’t take one ounce of credit. My designer, Molly Graham, also has a love for art and has the most impeccable eye for it (it is very similar to mine). When she showed me Monica Ajenjo’s bows I died. They were so fun and exactly what I imagined going in Eleanor’s big girl room.

Upon first glance most people think it is a 3-d sculpture. I admit I was one of those people. When it arrived and it was a painting on canvas  I was blown away. Monica does such an amazing job of making the bow’s both fun and lifelike. It was the cherry on top of a very fun little girls room!

I have always loved tablescapes. My mom made us set the table every.single.night. growing up. She was a wiz at throwing together an amazing table for dinner parties and holidays. And then I married my husband whose mom not only set her dinner table but also set every breakfast and lunch table (to the nines). So I like to say that my love of table setting runs in the family.

I could spend hours looking at Pinterest and Instagram gathering ideas for my next table. However, up until recently I never spent the money to invest in items to set my table how I wanted. The cost of everything I wanted seemed overwhelming so I just never pulled the trigger. When we moved into our new house I decided it was a good time to buy two new sets of plates (the plates that are pictured). I loved them and used them a lot so when the quarantine of 2020 happened, I started doing some research on my next set. I really think it is the one great thing that has come from being stuck inside, I have had time to find all the pieces I have want to make my Tablescape dreams come true.

One of my favorite tablescape finds is my Estelle Colored Glasses. I have followed their account on Instagram for a while and always dreamed of having a cupboard full of their beautiful colored glasses (just look at this dreamy photo). They have everything from lavender, coral, rose, cobalt, etc. Every color your tabletop needs. When you see the glasses your mind just starts spinning with ideas. It was hard to choose a color but since I have so many items in green and I felt it was perfect for summer, I went with Forrest green. It is gorgeous and perfect for all of my future tablescapes. I am truly blown away by the quality of these glasses. They are sold for $175 for a set of 6 ($30 per glass) which is an exceptional price for luxury hand-blow glass. Each glass is thick and sturdy which is a really nice break from the thin and very fragile glass that was popular a few years ago.  I am not lying when I say how beautiful these glasses are and how they really complete my table. I am hoping to add the Coral Peach Pink set to my collection next.

I am so excited to continue to bring you tablescapes. They have saved my sanity in this time of quarantine and have been so fun to create.
