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...

Beachin’ It
Location: Folly Beach, South Carolina | Imagery: Garrett Price Outfit details: Dress: Rory Beca (similar, Rory Beca) | Sandals: J. Crew (similar, Topshop) As often as my husband and I visit Charleston, it never seems to get easier to make the trip back home to Charlotte. Therefore, we try to make the most out of the last day of our trips, whether it be by wandering the still-slumbering streets, eating brunch at our favorite restaurants, or discovering the city's hidden gems, like Sugar bakeshop. However this particular morning, Justin and I (being the early-birds we are) wanted to enjoy...
Style Souffle x ModCloth
Dress: ModCloth | Earrings: ModCloth (love these, ModCloth) You guys remember when I introduced ShopStyle, a new, and easier way to get outfit details, right? If not, you can read about it here.

It's perfect for the office, afternoon cocktails with girlfriends or...
