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...

The Perfect Summer Staple

Outfit Details: TOP | PANTS | BAG | EARRINGS (old, similar here and here) While technically it may not be summer yet, June always feels like the start; especially with the Carolina heat. When summer rolls around, you can almost always find me wearing a lightweight dress or sleeveless blouse. Jumping right in to today's post, I'm sharing another tailored piece from Tyler Boe, a classic collection whom I love and shared in great detail last week on Style Souffle. I've linked that post, here. Sadly, this beautiful top flew off the shelves before I could share it here on Style Souffle...

Summertime Gingham in Gal Meets Glam Collection

Outfit Details: DRESS | EARRINGS (Diamonds Direct, similar here) | SHOES (similar less expensive here) | BRACELET | LIPS  Second to eyelet, come summer you can almost always find me wearing gingham.

I purchased this dress from Gal Meets Glam Collection that debuted last month. The collection features limited-edition pieces, with new dresses launching each month. Luckily this beautiful dress (the Carly) is still available and has been restocked in all sizes at...

The Perfect White Eyelet Set for Spring/ Summer

Outfit Details: TOP | SKIRT (size up) | SHOES (old, similar less expensive here & here) | BAG (similar less expensive here) | EARRINGS (old, similar option here) This past weekend was a rather slow one for me; allowing for much needed time to reflect, recharge and realign for the projects and weeks ahead. It mostly consisted of cleaning out, catching up and a whole lot of royal wedding bliss! I have to admit that watching the royal celebration unfold was some kind of magic. The tradition, elegance and pageantry of it all was so beautiful to witness, and how refreshing was it to see...

It can be even harder to find pieces that are easy to wear and beat the summertime heat but are still tasteful and chic. While perusing the new arrivals from one of my favorite online retailers, Red Dress Boutique, I fell in love with this little number and immediately scooped it up! It's the perfect frock for summertime special occasions like graduations or weddings, as it is so...
