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...

Guide to Charlottesville, VA
Last month I had the pleasure of traveling to beautiful Charlottesville, Virginia for an ultimate girls getaway with good friends Shelby and Zelle.

Not only is the shoe taking over Instagram, but it landed itself...
Favorite White Denim + ZIA Boutique
Outfit Details: TOP (c/o ZIA Boutique) | JEANS | EARRINGS (c/o ZIA Boutique) | SHOES (old, similar here) | BAG (c/o The Bag Minimalist) | SUNGLASSES Nothing says Spring like a perfect pair of white jeans. They refresh any blouse, sweater, or top combo into a breezy warm weather look. While I love the crisp look of white denim, even after labor day, there's an art to finding the perfect pair. I could never find ones that were both comfortable and flattering for my body type, but after trying on dozens of styles, fits and brands, I've figured out what works best for me. Given my petite,...
