You don’t need more, you need meaningful.™

Hi, I’m Chloe. I live on a cattle ranch in a town of 99 with my goats, dog, chickens, horses, husband, and cows. I used to live in the city, but I gave it all up for a life in the country.

I write about country living with a modern twist. I hope to inspire you to simplify your life and appreciate each and every moment.

Thanks so much for stopping by, let’s stay in touch!

Luxury in simplicity.™

I once went to a retreat in France and it changed I once went to a retreat in France and it changed my life. It was one of my first times overseas, meeting a group of women I didn’t know to spend a week with. I walked away with life-long friendships and memories I treasure. It’s my hope that those who come on our Boxwood Abroad retreats have the same experience. ✨ 

I am so very excited to invite you to our next location: the Cotswolds. A long source of inspiration, the idyllic landscape of rolling hills and stone houses embody the luxury of simplicity that we know and love. It is sure to be an incredible trip in collaboration with my dear dear friend @jzinteriordesigns. 

Tickets are now available, I hope to see you there! Link in profile baby! 

A huge thank you to the fabulous @nadiamliu for the gorgeous photography!
I am clearly a very serious business woman, thus t I am clearly a very serious business woman, thus to justify any trip as a write off, I have a strict rule of flea market shopping wherever I go. 

So here we are again, flea shopping in Italy, in my new hat! 🤌🇮🇹 The difference between the French fleas and Italian really shouldn’t be compared because I’ve been told time and time again, the Italians really can’t stand the French {there is a quote that goes something like: the only reason Italians drink Prosecco is because Champagne is French!} so it feels unjust to put them side by side. I hope that doesn’t offend anyone, don’t shoot the messenger! 

I will share my thoughts… I have found the Italian pricing is much better than the French, and I find the art to be more interesting in Italy. I love france for furniture, you can’t beat French pine {but I love primitive pieces}. France is better for ceramics and textiles, Italy a bit more fun for mirrors and lighting. 

So I guess it’s fair to say, they’re both equally as loved by me and I will continue to find it necessary to go to both. 🇮🇹😉🇫🇷

Care to come with us? I have the link in my profile for the email list. Heading back to my hotel as we speak to send out more details about our next visit!

A wonderful day cooking at my insta friends @valdirose @mr_valdirose beautiful home with the help of @goodiesprivatechef husband and wife duo! 

We learned how to make orecchiette, perfect for holding homemade tomato sauce. So simple, yet beyond flavorful and delicious! I have the recipe to share as soon as we edit some photos to put up on the blog so you can make it at home! It’s really quite easy!

This afternoon was a dream with friends old and new, sharing laughter, Prosecco, and learning something new to take home as a memory that can be enjoyed time and time again as we think back on our time together. Food truly brings people together. ✨🥂

Come with us next time? Link in my bio for first access to tickets! We were supposed to release them yesterday, but we’re waiting on a few final details - fingers crossed for this Tuesday!

Ciao Florence! 🇮🇹 Bowls of truffle pasta {at Ciao Florence! 🇮🇹 Bowls of truffle pasta {at Osteria Pastella}, gelato before AND after dinner, and a nightcap of giggles. Grateful! 

Linked some similar skirts in my LTK - I packed a lot of long skirts, one of my favorite travel necessities to dress up or down. This one was a total unicorn find by @lotte.v1 💗.
Stepping into a fairytale…the Cotswolds. 🇬🇧🐑

Known locally as an “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty”, the Cotswolds introduced to me by my dear friend @jzinteriordesigns is something no short of magical. The rolling hills and dotted villages are nestled into the unspoilt countryside of England. With stone houses, sheep, and wood burning fireplaces it truly feels like a living painting.

As we have both fallen in love with the area, Jaime and I are teaming up for our next retreat abroad in May 2024 to invite you to come along with us to share in the beauty! 

A four day luxury retreat in the heart of England. Tour the tiny towns with us as we immerse ourselves into the food, history, antiques, and serenity.

Spaces are limited as we are only able to bring 12 guests with us, so please be sure to sign up for the email list if you’d like first access. We will release more details later this week as we finalize the dates! I hope you will join us!
