EDITORIAL: Keeping It Real With Kirsten Dunst

I am a huge fan of actress Kirsten Dunst since her childhood days. I remember watching her as young Amy March in Little Women with my mom and then being forced to watch Jumaji with my brothers and thinking she was so cool. Following her incredible career I was enthralled with her in the Virgin Suicides, a movie I still watch a bunch today and take inspiration from. Then came Marie Antoinette which is by far one of my favorite movies. I think I put it on almost once a week, it’s the only movie I went out and bought the DVD as soon as it came out so that I could watch it whenever I wanted. I’m pretty sure I also bought it on Apple Movies so I can have it on my phone. Cleary a huge fan!

I remember bookmarking this Editorial she was in last August for Porter Magazine and figured I would share it since I keep looking back at it! Dunst is so angelic, I don’t know if it’s the blonde hair or the fact that I feel everything she does it gold. Who knows, just sit-back and scroll because she looks stunning and the styling for the Editorial is so dreamy. *le sigh*

This is a great article on Kirsten Dunst, she talks about growing up in Hollywood and her latest role in Becoming a God in Central Florida so I highly recommend you clock over to Net-A-Porter to read it!

Luxe Finds - Glaze

I decided to start a new series over here on Kind Of Luxe called Luxe Finds. I wanted a series that I could spotlight on brands, products, articles, etc. that I felt needed their own post! I stumble upon so many awesome finds that end up sitting in my bookmark folder so I decided to give them a little home.

Excited to introduce the first in the Luxe Finds Series:

Glaze featuring The U Candle

THE U CANDLE

“Glaze is a Lifestyle product design studio based in New York City. The husband and wife duo behind the studio, Akeem and Stephanie Glaze, launched their namesake in 2017 to create authentic, quality items designed with distinct attention to detail. With equal emphasis placed on form, function, and experience, glaze's products make for arrest- ing, yet subdued, statement pieces for the home. Each piece is carefully crafted and subtly infused with influences from the duo's roots in Palm Beach and the Northeast.”

This stunning candle is not only functional but truly a work of art. I was so shocked at how beautiful and sleek it is as I pulled it out of it’s just-as-well designed box. Made from 100% white beeswax which is naturally bleached through sun exposure, and burns clean. I’m not sure if I will be able to verify this because that means burning the candle which I never want to do!

It’s beautiful shape plus the sleek brass holder is a chic addition to your home.

The U Candle is also a wonderful gift to give for a wedding, to your friends who love candles and well designed products, and of course it’s an amazing host gift. Imagine showing up with this beauty during the holidays!?

Honestly, I’m obsessed with it and have it perfectly placed as the centerpiece of my dinning room table. I now have the Glaze website bookmarked forever because if Akeem and Stephanie Glaze made this stunning candle, I can’t wait to see what else they will create!

Maybe one day I’ll burn it….maybe.

You can purchase the U candle on the Glaze Website!

October Mood Board

Fall is finally here and October has begun. Feels very different when you’re living somewhere tropical and the temperature doesn’t drop the way you’d like it to! Still getting used to this whole island living but slowly, it’s feeling more and more like home. That doesn’t mean I’m not going to make our space as Fall as I can! Switching out fruity/summer-y candles for deep scents that remind me of Winter and a crackling fire. Thinking of doing a round-up of my favorite Fall candles to help everyone get in the mood! Until then, enjoy this October Mood Board

July Wishlist

Can’t believe how quickly July came! Spring flew buy and now we are officially into Summer. Here is a quick little round-up of beautiful things I’m currently wishing for. Take a look!

1. Rattan Pitcher by Jenni Kayne.

   Love this Rattan pitcher for serving up Iced Tea and Lemonade on a hot day or as a chic vase for some white flowers! It’s simply and chic like most of Jenni Kayne’s designs which is why I absolutely love her. Definitely purchasing this pitcher!

2. Gold Rings by AUrate

   I’m a huge fan of gold jewelry! I love layering multiple gold pieces and these Stacking rings are perfect to pile on. AUrate makes some great pieces in 14k solid gold so you don’t have to worry about taking them off for everything. Their packaging is also really stunning and minimal with tiny little pink pouches to keep your jewelry clean and organized. I love when brands are aware of every little detail to make your purchase feel even more special. Check out more of their rings, here. (Minimal gold stacking ring, here.)

3. Smocked Bikini by Onia

   Lately I’ve really been into textured swimwear. I think the texture gives it a little something extra and I’m trying to change things up now that I’m in swimsuits so often! Living on an island has it’s perks! Linked the TOP and the BOTTOM of this bikini.

4. The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

   I’ve had this book on my ‘read’ list for so long, I think it’s finally time I pick up a copy! I heard that it’s being made into a movie so I need to get started on it asap!

5. Belgium Dress by Reformation

   This dress is beautiful! I love the puff sleeve detail and the midi-length. It’s so lady-like! I’m usually not into wearing dresses but I’ve been stuck in such a rut with what to wear when it’s hot 90% of the time. So I guess I really need this dress….

6. Pulp by Byredo

   I don’t normally switch out scents during the seasons but now that I’m living in Hawaii, I’ve been drawn more towards light, citrusy scents. Pulp is my ultimate fragrance. It’s bright, it’s fruity, without being too sweet. It’s truly perfect. I’m finishing up a sample I got from the last time I visited Byredo and then I need to purchase a full bottle of this!

7. Waffle towels by Parachute

   I’m a huge fan of the brand Parachute. I got my first ‘adult’ sheets there. These perfect dark grey linen sheets that sadly no longer fit my kind bed. But I’m happy to share them with guests when they stay over and now I feel like I need something to replace them! While I’m saving up for the King set, I do want to try their Waffle towels. My best friend has them in this beautiful grey color and I look forward to using them every time I visit her. So, I guess it’s time I purchase my own set. They are soft, they are comfortable, and I guess I’m really having a thing for texture now!

8. Le Vernis Longera Nail Colour in Open Air by Chanel Beauty

   Chanel carries some of the best nail colors and their formula is sooooo good. Although they are on the pricier side I only purchase colors I find to be really exciting and different! I bought this beautiful coral color at the beginning of Spring and now I think I need this pastel purple next.

9. Tanya Patent Leather Nude Heels by BY FAR

   Owning a great nude heel is very important! I think now that I’ve been working from home, I don’t dress up as much but it’s nice to still throw on a pretty heel for dinner now and then. These are so perfect because the heel height is ideal and the two straps give you stability while still looking minimal and elegant.

10. The Row x Oliver’s People “Board Meeting” Square Sunglasses

    All I want right now is a pair of The Row x Oliver People’s Sunglasses. They are simple, they are elegant and they are incredibly flattering. These are definitely on the higher end for sunglasses and for someone who tends to forget my sunglasses in restaurants too often, I have held off on buying them but they still are always on my mind!

I hope everyone is starting off their week well. It’ll be a short one with a four day weekend coming up so remember to give it your all in everything you do this week and then relax and do a little shopping :)

Anything you guys are wishing for this July? Comment below! I always love finding new things to add to my wishlists.
