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...

All-Time Favorite Nail Polish Colors

Maintaining well-manicured nails is part of my self-care routine. It's a simple way to look put together with little to no effort at all. Usually you'll find me wearing the same tried and true, classic hues that I rotate depending on the season and occasion. In fact, 90% of the time I am wearing one of the following colors in the gel formula. So, read on for my must-have nail colors and nail brands. Bubble Bath by OPI SHOP NOW ➔ Bubble Bath was the brands number one best selling nail color in 2018. This is OPI's answer to Essie's, Ballet Slippers. It's a pale, sweet pink that masters the...

Taylor-Rae Drake

Growing up in the South, and as a daughter of stylish lady, it’s safe to say my view of style and feminity were shaped by the influence’s of my upbringing!

Day 11 of Giving – Margaux

Outfit Details: Jeans: DL 1961 | Top: Anthropologie | Flats: Margaux (c/o) If you are anything like me, and like to wear comfortable shoes throughout the week, then this post is for you!  I've always loved the idea of throwing on a comfortable pair of ballet flats and running out the door, but usually, I've settled for inexpensive flats from Target or Aldo that are "par" at best. Come to think of it, until last year I had come across very few designs that had mastered the art of both style and comfort. That all changed last Fall when I had the pleasure of meeting Alexa Buckley & Sarah...

Day 10 of Giving – Swoozie’s

I've posted about Swoozie's before and what a great resource they are for invitations, gifts, napkins, cups, hostess odds and ends, and everything in between. From New Years Eve and Christmas parties to my Bachlorette weekend and Wedding, they've always been one stop shop for all my party planning needs. Today I'm sharing how I styled my bar cart this season with pieces from their new Holiday Catalog.  Does anyone still need to deck the hall?!  If so, Swoozie's is ready to help you bring some cheer into your home this Holiday season!  Shelby and I have teamed up with Swoozie's on this...

It's incredible how warm it is.  It's part of Bernardo's "packable collection", which is easy to fold up and pack away, yet keeps you warm similar to a parka down. To enter, simply click follow ALL guided...

Day 8 of Giving – Anthropologie

one | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight  My style is variable for the most part, as it should be. As a self-proclaimed girly-girl, some of my favorite designers include Self-Portrait, Alice + Olivia and Rebecca Taylor, however there is no denying my heart also aches for all things Anthropologie. Simply walking into their store is like experiencing another state of consciousness. I've never been the type to own a Peruvian-style poncho, and yet, last week I spot one artfully displayed on a mannequin, and suddenly imagined myself swaddled in it while frolicking with alpacas on...
