As a little girl I loved organizing my friends rooms, coming up with new ways to re decorate my middle school locker, and once overhauled a backyard for a black and white New Years Eve party like the success of my high school career hinged on the plastic champagne cup tower.
Making things pretty has always been top of mind.
The love I have for details, adding a tray underneath cookies on a plate, and tying a bow on top of the perfect gift runs deep within my bones.
I remember going to my aunts house and being welcomed with little snacks laid out on silver trays next to personalized napkins. Placing my bags down on the bed and seeing little gifts up top the pillows. And getting to fill a basket with drug store makeup on a Friday night shopping spree. I remember thinking how one day I wanted to be just like her.
To put such sweet thought in to the smallest of details. To have a home that was welcoming to everyone who stepped foot inside. I would dream of placing a platter of food down on the table surrounded with the of friends.
Curating is something that has been in my heart for as long as I can remember. It feels like my very own way to share joy and beauty in this world. Creating a spread of food and drink for loved ones on the best of days, to making your coffee on a pretty tray in a special mug on mornings when you need an extra boost.
I found that making a moment more beautiful helps make all of life more beautiful. My hope with Lived X Leigh is to allow more people to see that beauty in every day moments. From a floral arrangment for a friend, so a stunningly set table at your next dinner party. I want to add a touch of love to your food scapes, a curated view to your party decor, wow factors to holiday decorations and personalized finds to your loved ones gifts.
I hope Lived X Leigh can become the touch of pretty that makes you all smile.
