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...

House Update | 9.21.17
The other day I was cleaning photos off my phone (making room for new ones) when I realized I hadn't shared anything about our home since announcing our move in March. March! It's hard to believe we have lived here almost six months now. We loved this house the moment we stepped foot inside. It's a new construction home located in a growing area outside of Charlotte with a floor plan that's perfect for our lifestyle. And although no changes were needed, we purchased this house knowing there was room in our budget to customize a few areas to our liking that we felt were a bit dated and of...
Gingham & Life Update
Top | Skirt (similar: here, here) | Sunglasses | Shoes | Bracelet Photography: Garrett Price Last week I shared a peek of this outfit on Instagram featuring this one-shoulder gingham blouse. It's one of the many pieces I purchased during a J.Crew haul several weeks ago. They have the most beautiful new arrivals, and though it may sound silly I found it difficult to stay focused and narrow down my favorites. Something about J.Crew really brings out my most ADD self, haha. Last week I shared this look featuring their beautiful stripe midi. It would pair beautifully with a cream...

Growing up the thought of Summer coming to an end was heartbreaking! And while I still live for longer days, sun-kissed skin and all of the fun travels that accompany Summer, there is something about crisp air, the changing leaves and cozy sweaters that have my now twenty-something self practically begging for Fall. It also doesn't help that I work in an industry that's always one season ahead and for months has been...
Anthropologie’s #50StatesofDenim
Denim c/o | Top c/o | Earrings c/o | Shoes (similar) JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser. Reactivate it to view this content. I wish I was one of those people who could slip on any style of jeans and they fit near perfect, as though they were made for me. Unfortunately, and I may not be alone in this, finding a flattering pair of denim is more trial and error, but it does make finding the right pair that much more gratifying. For years, Anthropologie has been my go-to when searching for denim (you may recall a few older posts - here, here and here). Whether...
