A Curated Look at Living in the Nation’s Capital

As we enter spring, I’ve been making small but meaningful adjustments at home, starting with my closets. I took the time to curate what still feels aligned and thoughtfully pass along what no longer does, which brought a greater sense of clarity, not only about what to keep, but how I want to live within my space. That clarity began to extend into other areas, from moving artwork to reconsidering placement and creating space for a new piece I’ve been wanting to live with. What I’ve appreciated most is how these quiet changes can shift the feeling of a home. It’s not about doing more, but creating the right amount of space for what matters. It’s a perspective I’m seeing reflected more broadly in how design is being approached right now.

How to Style Unframed Art According to Design Pros
A recent Mansion Global piece highlights a growing preference for unframed art, not as unfinished, but as a more intentional design choice. Without a frame, the work itself takes precedence, allowing texture and scale to define its presence, creating a quieter kind of confidence. Spaces feel edited, not decorated, where each element is given room to be fully experienced.

It took long enough. Twenty years is far too long to wait for my favorite fashion villain to return to the big screen. A perfect excuse for a girls’ night out, styled accordingly. I’ve already reserved my seat for what may be the most anticipated fashion moment of the season.

Establishing a consistent fitness routine has been a huge challenge for me, and Club Pilates has been a natural fit for my lifestyle and goals. If you’ve considered Pilates but feel hesitant, I would encourage you to start with a complimentary introductory class.
