Collins Birth Story
On March 11, 2020, our lives were forever changed when Collins Elisabeth Drake came into the world. A day that for so long felt so far out of reach, yet one that will live in our memory as the most special day of our lives. It’s the day we welcomed our daughter into the world and began our new journey as mom and dad! The emotions and experiences of that day are hard to put into words and why it has taken me nearly six months to share our story! There is truly nothing that parallels to giving birth and bringing another life into this world; an indescribable moment that I had to go through...

White Cami + Polka Dot Transitional Pieces
Outfit Details: Top (old, similar here, here and here) | Skirt (old, here and here) | Shoes | Bracelet | Sunglasses I love summer, but this Southern heat and humidity has me craving cooler temperatures and fall-like weather! Knowing that we have at least a solid month to go before we start dressing for transitional weather around here, I've made a conscious effort to only purchase pieces that I can wear now and in the fall. This outfit is a great example. Come fall, this high-waisted, polka dot skirt would be adorable with either a pullover knit sweater or one with a cropped hem. The...

Nantucket Travel Guide
Last month, Justin and I traveled to Nantucket for very the first time. This charming New England island has been a summer destination we have long dreamt of visiting, so with a break in our schedules we seized the opportunity to go! Whether it was exploring the islands rich history or dinning at the most talked about restaurants around town, we made sure to soak in every minute in this very special place. On Main Street, farmers sold produce off the backs of trucks. Climbing roses bloomed by the thousands up cottage walls in Siasconset and dozens of sailboats littered the Nantucket Sound...
Comfortable Pajama Sets – Sleep In Style

I can’t help it, I love to get comfy at the end of a long day and there are few things comfier than pajamas. Cute, über soft pajama sets are kind of my thing - they make so happy! Now, I’ll be the first to admit, until recently my nighttime selection mostly consisted of old college t-shirts and comfy shorts. I usually just threw on whatever I could find that was relatively clean to wear to bed. But then we moved in to...
