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...

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.

Goodnight Macaroon
Outfit details: Top: Goodnight Macaroon | Shorts: DL 1961 (similar, Nordstrom) | Shoes: Old; (similar, Nordstrom) | Glasses: illesteva The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale just wrapped up after getting us all in a frenzy for fall, but I still have my sights set on soaking up every last bit of summertime. With North Carolina temperatures projected to reach the 90’s this coming week, August, and myself, are nowhere near ready for sweater weather. While retailers are starting to make way for next season’s styles I’m continuing to delay the craze for fall and take full advantage of Summer Sales as...
Room Re-design
Left to Right: Ceiling Lamp (LOVE, this one) | Floor Basket | Round Mirror | Throw (on sale) | Fiddle Leaf Fig | Round Ottoman | Hanging Chair | Floor Mirror | Frame | Rug | Floor Shelves | Lipstick Holder In addition to my love for fashion, interior spaces has always held a special place in my heart. Building and decorating a home with my husband is something that I have looked for to for years, and I've been living vicariously through Pinterest (thank God for Pinterest). Justin and I currently live in the town home that he purchased around the time that we started dating. He agreed to...
Save or Splurge?
One of the most common beauty-related questions I hear from women is whether or not they need to have solely high-end products in order to achieve a beautiful makeup look. My answer to that? Absolutely not! There is no need to spend hundreds of dollars on an entire collection of expensive, brand name makeup when there are products in drugstores that create an equally beautiful finish. However, over the years I have discovered, through trial and error, products from drugstores that give department store products a run for their money. SAVE: Let’s start off with the products from more...
Southern Summer
Outfit Details: Skirt: Parker | Top: similar, here | Purse: Valentino | Shoes: Stuart Wietzman | Necklace: AGJ This summer Justin and I have had our fair share of travels to Charleston, SC... after all, it is just a short drive away! We've found that with each visit we fall more and more in love, which is why we have decided to re-locate there! 🙂 Sadly, I'm joking. One of our favorite things to do in the Holy City is to get lost strolling the streets of the residential side of town. The historical architecture makes us feel like we are in another country, and it is in those moments...
