ROUND UP: STUDIO McGEE FALL COLLECTION

This post contains affiliate links. This means I may make a small commission if you end up clicking through and purchasing, at no extra cost to you. Please read my disclosure for more info.

It’s that time again! Studio McGee launched their fall collection (and so much has already sold out!) They brought back some favorites from the first collection and added some beautiful counterparts - that landscape painting below for example. I think this collection is absolutely stunning and I love seeing Target lean into excellent design!

1 - Wicker Pendant | 2 - Rust Pillow 1 | 3 - Rust Pillow 2 | 4 - Accent Table | 5 - Nude Sketch | 6 - Black Metal Sconce | 7 - Dual Art Prints | 8 - Wicker Lamp | 9 - Olive Green Throw | 10 - Accent Chair

I just grabbed a pair of pillows and absolutely transformed my old lackluster sofa. My previous bright white pillows made my sofa look dingy - but the pair of pillows I snagged from the Studio McGee for Target collection has great warm undertones and helped pull everything together in a tone-on-tone way.

1 - Landscape Painting | 2 - Wood Chunk Accent Table | 3 - Round Wooden Mirror | 4 - Fluted Lamp | 5 - Windowpane Pouf | 6 - Faceted Accent Table | 7 - Wooden Etegere | 8 - Carved Wooden Bowl | 9 - Floral Print 1 | 10 - Floral Print 2

I would love to hear what you snagged!

LLD REVEALS: OVERHAULED HISTORIC

One of my most shared pins, and most requested content is the finished kitchen from this post about it’s design. The time is here folks! I was finally able to get into this kitchen to photograph. I’ll do my best to share sources but if you have any questions I’ll be happy to answer!

This kitchen was a complete gut - you can see the plans in this earlier post. Absorbing space from the pantry, an adjacent bedroom closet and an enclosed porch we were able to create a beautiful, functional and light-filled space. Large 24”x12” slate-look tiles from Thorntree set the foundation for the design. The faucet and pot-filler are both from Delta in their “Champagne Bronze” finish. The carerra marble island is just over 9’ long and 3’ wide and painted in a contrasting shade of blue-gray. The perimeter countertops are sanded and sealed walnut butcher block. Once a month (or whenever they need a little TLC) the homeowner will wipe down the counters with a food-safe butcherblock oil and no matter their starting condition they look brand new. The exposed brick chimney would have been the flue for the original wood burning stove. We uncovered it during demo and it was such a pretty reminder of the home’s history.

On the west facing wall we removed a pair of windows in order to put in a floor-to-ceiling custom millwork pantry. If I could put pantries like this in all my kitchens I would - at just 16” deep you can see everything no cans of tomatoes getting lost at the back for 3 years. Another of my favorite features of this kitchen is the custom console we built in under the windows. Shallow drawers store linens, extra napkins, and one drawer has note pads and pens - perfect for jotting down a quick grocery list and below that open “crates” store produce and dogfood (in a perfectly sized OXO Container.) The homeowner has a little 5lb Yorkie so the food doesn’t take up too much space! Finally below that a stained, slatted, shelf allows for storing larger bowls and serving platters. Aside from function this entire wall of storage is shallow to allow for a generously sized eat-at island complete with four playfully blue barstools - that are used to access the upper cabinets in a pinch!

S H O P T H E L O O K

This kitchen was actually mostly completed almost FIVE YEARS ago! Hard to believe because it’s still one of my absolute favorite kitchens! That does mean that a lot of the pieces we used are no longer available (re: the Pottery Barn pendants and the Delta faucet to name a couple) so I did my best to select pieces I would use if I were to design it again today (like these amazing Circa Katie Acorn Pendants!)

This kitchen is truly the heart of the home. Everyone gathers around the island - it makes the perfect buffet and everyone can be involved, but out of the cook’s way.

This is one of my favorite kitchens I’ve ever designed. See even more images from this shoot with Madeline Harper Photography in my portfolio.

ROUND UP: NORDSTROM SALE PERSONAL PICKS

1 - Supergoop Set | 2 - Gold Hoops | 3 - CZ Studs | 4 - Crescent Moon Necklace | 5 - Good Genes Set | 6 - Madewell Dot Necklace | 7 - Hunter Rain Booties | 8 - Jo Malone Set

1 | MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SUNSCREEN

If you know me at all, you know I am obsessed with sunscreen. Supergoop is the best of the best. Their superscreen is like the most magnificent moisturizer and SPF all rolled into one - it feels like the ultimate luxury to put on in the morning and it protects against blue light damage too! I can’t sing it’s praises enough and I will be stocking up - the included Play sunscreen is an added bonus!

2 | LITTLE GOLD HOOPS

Nothing dresses up a zoom meeting outfit or makes you feel more put together than simple, beautiful jewelry. I have worn the #3 studs everyday since I got them in last years sale and I think it’s time to switch things up.

3 | TWO CARAT CZ STUDS

Like I said above, I bought these in last year’s sale after seeing Things I Bought and Liked preach about them the year before. I have worn them everyday since and will likely throw a pair in as a Christmas gift this year. You can’t beat that $26 price point and they look GREAT.

4 | CRESENT MOON NECKLACE

I love layering delicate gold necklaces and this would make a beautiful edition to my stack. I would pair it with the Madewell necklace at #6 and a mid length gold coin necklace (I love this one from none other than Amazon!). Again, a great way to dress up that basic tee you’ve worn 4 days this week.

5 | GOOD GENES by sunday riley

I have been wanting to step up my skincare game since I’m wearing honestly nothing but SPF these days. I hope this doesn’t sell out before I can pick it up, I’ve heard nothing but good things. Plus the $1300 tub of La Mer is just a little out of my price range.

6 | DELICATE DOT NECKLACE

In my eyes Madewell can do no wrong. I love this delicate addition to a neck stack (ah…the new arm party?)

7 | HUNTER RAIN BOOTIES

So cute, so practical. You would be surprised how often I wear rain booties. Here on the Gulf Coast saying we get a lot of rain would be an understatement, so I’m constantly reaching for waterproof footwear for dog walks, jobsite visits, gardening, errands…it’s time I upgrade to something that will last me more than a couple years. REALLY hoping I can grab a pair before they sell out.

8 | JO MALONE SET

I can’t remember the last time I wore perfume, much less purchased it. I’m obsessed with all things Jo Malone and this set right here is going to help me find my new signature scent.

1 - Jo Malone Set | 2 - Sperry Boots | 3 - Barbour Rain Jacket | 4 - Cotton Button Down | 5 - Madewell Mules | 6 - Supergoop Set

1 | JO MALONE SET

THIS one is not sold out and man do I want it, need it. ok?

2 | SPERRY DUCK BOOTS

It’s hurricane season in Texas. Even if it’s sunny in the morning, it’s raining by the afternoon. These are a perfect alternative to my full on rainboots from above.

3 | BARBOUR RAIN JACKET

When I can travel again I’m headed straight for the west coast. Give me all the foggy mornings, damp woodsy hikes, and fall-turning-into-winter chilly nights around a fire pit. For now this jacket will get me stylishly through dog walks in hurricane season.

4 | COTTON BUTTON DOWN

You can’t go wrong with a classic white button down and I love that this cotton version brings in some casual texture.

5 | MADEWELL SLIDES

The fall transition shoe I can’t wait to get my hands on. I love this small dot pattern, but the listing has a full on leopard that is beautiful too.

6 | SUPERGOOP DEFENSE REFRESH

Superscreen might be my absolute favorite - but the defense refresh spray is ideal when you already put on your full face of make up (haha, who is actually doing that these days). It sprays on lightly and gives your face a fresh dusting of SPF.

There you have it folks. A Nordstrom Sale round up with not a single chunky sweater in sight. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did putting it together! I would love to know what you’re buying or stocked up on so be sure to drop me a comment below!
