Glamping Getaway Near Pittsburgh

There is nothing I enjoy more than packing the car, putting Sammy and Gibson in the trunk and going glamping! When we  got the opportunity to glamp at Airydale Retreat in Mill Creek Pennsylvania, I was beyond excited. If you don’t know what glamping is, it is glamorous camping. I describe glamping as the perfect mix of “roughing it” and comfort. While you can start a fire and star gaze, you also have a bed to sleep in and a bathroom. I highly recommend glamping for anyone who loves the outdoors but may not want to sleep in a tent. Airydale Retreat is the perfect place for couples, f ..read more

Hey Campers and Glampers! We have been wanting to travel, but wanted to get creative this year because of covid. I have been talking about wanting a camper for a while now, and we decided this was the year to do it. Finding the perfect camper was tough! Lots of people are looking for campers this year, so they have been going fast! We finally found a 1990 Jayco that we knew was going to be perfect for the two of us and Sammy. The main goal of our pop-up makeover was to do it on a budget. This blog post is going to share the tools we used, how we decorated it, and a few things that we learned a ..read more

Outfits to Wear While Working from Home this Spring
Flawless Darling

We’ve officially survived one year of working from home in a pandemic. I don’t know about any of you, but I have completely fallen in love with the loungewear trend that grew out of working from home. We’ve grown accustomed to more casual wear because we are conducting business within our own homes. No one will look at you twice at the grocery store if you’re wearing a matching, oversized sweat set during the day! However, we must remain semi-presentable for our colleagues and supervisors when meeting over Zoom. So, the perfect balance between comfort and professionalism created what we now re ..read more

Straight and Skinny Jeans You Will Love This Season

Hello my Darlings! We’ve come a long way from billowing court dresses and corsets, wouldn’t you say? Because I can’t imagine a time when a good pair of jeans wasn’t a part of my capsule wardrobe. These days, we have endless options to choose from: styles, washes, lengths, waists, trimmings… the list goes on. The current argument, however, is straight versus skinny. Which is better? I know some Gen z’s vs. Millennials differ on this, but I am loving both this season! Straight and Skinny jeans both have their own time and place, depending on personal style and occasion. Straight leg cuts can eas ..read more

Happy Monday, Darling! Can you believe how fast AND slow this year has felt? This year I have been questioning why I’m actually enjoying the snow and the cold. I have woken up each morning happy to see snow on the ground which is SO unlike me. But then it hit me, I’m happy to see the snow and enjoy its beauty because I barely ever have to drive in it and actually be outside! I guess that’s one the positives of all of this quarantining! Like most people working from home, I have been staying so cozy this year and have been prioritizing comfort over anything else. Today, I’m sharing a few of my ..read more

Entryway Makeover
Flawless Darling
by Carly Luitgaarden
2y ago
After reading Homebody, a guide on interior design by Joanna Gaines, I was inspired by the idea that the entryway of your home is the first thing that welcomes you when you walk inside, and is the first thing a guest sees when they visit. An entryway should feel welcoming, “homey”, and have a few things that tell a story about you and your family. It took some brainstorming to decide exactly what we wanted to do for our entryway makeover. When you first walked into our home you were originally greeted by a plain wall and closet – pretty boring and doesn’t exactly scream “make yourself at home ..read more

Happy almost December, Darling!  Can you believe that tomorrow is December 1st already?! Somehow 2020 has been both the fastest and slowest year all at the same time. I’ll be honest, I’m normally someone who waits until the last minute to shop for gifts, and I usually put up my tree pretty late in the holiday season. But this year is different! My tree has been up for a few weeks now, and I have already purchased some gifts for my loved ones! I partnered up with Gabe’s to create some gift guides to help you shop for the people you love, too. They have amazing gifts for everyone in the fam ..read more
