My 2022 Fall Hearth & Hand Collection favorites. By this time of summer I am ready to welcome the next season in with open arms and making our home cozier and adding textures helps to usher it in. While I don't shop the newest and latest things often, this is one line I always love seeing the seasonal launches from. Gathered up my top picks from the new Magnolia release at Target over on the blog!

Fall 2022 Hearth & Hand Collection Favorites

Five Easter Sunday Styles for Mom and Daughter

Every year I try and pull together fresh Spring styles for my family to wear on Easter Sunday. And with every annual tradition such as this, I am always looking to purchase wardrobe pieces that can be worn again without it feeling out of place. For example, Christmas dresses are something I want my girls […]

HI THERE,

I’m Kara Layne

Around here, we believe in building a life and brand that feel like home — rooted in meaning, styled with timeless simplicity, and lived with intention. I’m a purveyor of the old-fashioned, a curator of the classics, and a firm believer that less isn’t just more — it’s the foundation of a life well-lived. In a world constantly chasing more, I’m here to help you cultivate something slower, richer, and beautifully well-designed.

Designer, storyteller, educator, wife to a bearded gent, and mother of five
