My STORY

Romanticizing my life in LA + Joshua Tree

Meet The blogger

hey, i’m Erika

You can find everything from home decor ideas, travel tips, fashion ideas and tasty recipes. I’m always on the hunt for inspo, and I love that I can share everything I’m obsessed with and spread the word on amazing products and places I’m discovering with you. My mission is to share a realistic approach to designing your dream life. You’ll learn how to decorate a space that feels cozy on a budget, shake up a killer tiki cocktail, travel the world with style, and put together a cute outfit on the go.

You can find me soaking up the sun in Los Angeles, throwing together a cheese board, and hunting for the next cool restaurant in town. When I’m not renovating my Joshua Tree house or working on my online home decor shop Hesby, you can find me designing (and redesigning) my LA apartment I call home.

Follow along on my day-to-day over on Instagram @erikacarlock to see what’s inspiring me, and you can always send me a DM to chat. Can’t wait to get to know you better!

xoxo, Erika

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

an obsession with interiors, travel and good design

I started this blog as an outlet for me to share all of the things I’m obsessed with — good design, sunny interiors, stylish travel, and colorful fashion ideas, and it has become my happy place to share everything I love.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share my passions with you, and I can’t wait to continue curating and creating content that sparks inspiration, ignites creativity, and brings a little more sunshine into your day. Thank you for being here and for letting me share my world with you!
