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...

Fall Spots
Dress: Nordstrom | Boots: Via Spiga (similar) | Hat: Nordstrom | Purse: Vera Bradley | Earrings: House of Harlow One of the greatest things about living in North Carolina is getting to experience the four distinct seasons each year. We have white winters (on occasion), colorful falls, flora filled springs, and sunny summers. While I love them all, autumn is what I look most forward to each and every year! My love for autumn lies parallel with my love for dresses! And, I've been unintentionally wearing this same combination of a sleeved dress and boots repeadidly this fall. While my style...

After laying eye's on this pair from Anthropologie, I immediately feel in love with the wide hem, and gold details. If you're on the fence about investing in the trend, I recommend this pair from Nordstrom. The Chanel jacket is undeniably one of fashion's chicest and most enduring pieces. As Karl Lagerfeld has...
