Modern Wedding + Le Creuset Giveaway (CLOSED)

January 29, 2019August 31, 2020By JoannaPosted in book report, giveaway

Disclosure: For this post I received gifted product from Artisan Books and Le Creuset. All opinions are my own and always will be! Thanks for supporting content that keeps Jojotastic going.

With our wedding a little less than 9 months away (!!!!), I need all of the inspiration I can get. I’ve poured over Pinterest, bought all of the magazines, but there’s something still so special about sitting down with coffee and a physical book (especially on a slow Saturday morning). Sometimes you just have to go offline, huh. Artisan Books was kind enough to send over a copy of the new Modern Wedding book by Kelsey McKinnon and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since. And luckily for one reader, I teamed up with Artisan Books and Le Creuset for an exciting giveaway!

November 1, 2017February 22, 2019By JoannaPosted in book report, home decor + interiors, styling

The other day I was helping my best friend style her bookshelf and realized that one thing was missing: really gorgeous design books. Sometimes referred to as coffee table books, this is the element that can give your #shelfie that really curated-yet-casual vibe you see slaying it on Instagram. I like to use mine to add height, color, and texture. For my own shelf, these books help to break up the monotony and give my plants the perfect backdrop. With my bff in mind, here’s my list of essential coffee table books to help you style your own space!
