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...

Monochromatic Madness

Coat | Sweater | Shorts (Limited sizes: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4) | Boots (similar) | Purse | Sheers It would seem as though my Winter wardrobe consists entirely of the color black. I guess I've felt bold lately. As I've gotten older, I definitely like to invest in key pieces, like leather shorts or the leather pants featured in last weeks post (here). Timeless classics are always key, but I can't say that I like paying full price either. All of these pieces I purchased while on major sale - I've linked similar options for you above and below, if not the same pieces features. Although the calendar...

Chivalry’s Still Alive

Him: Dress shirt | Sweater | Denim | Sneakers Her: Top |Cardigan | Jeans | Boots (sold out, similar) Last week I found myself working in my husbands office, as I needed to be close by for reasons I will explain later.  And though it may sound silly, spending my days working alongside him was something that I really looked forward.  It allowed me to see how much hard work and dedication he puts into running a successful business that he started at age 17, and the effort that goes into providing for our growing family.

I purchased these pieces a few season ago, but found similar options available at Nordstrom. All...
