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...

Sneak Peak

So, I've had something up my sleeve for a while, and although I'm not fully disclosing what it is, I had to share a sneak peak.  I've taken a few images from the vision board that I feel represent the projects theme: delicate, sophisticated, and unapologetically feminine. While a few major details have yet to be made, the overall inspiration lies somewhere between classic and timeless meets modern day girl next door. I hope this too inspires you! I'm so excited, and look forward to sharing it with everyone soon! It will certainly make for a fun little surprise, and let's be honest, who...

Coconut Oil

Years ago, if someone would have told me that there was one product that would single handidly solve dozens of health and beauty woes, chances are I wouldn't have believed them. I mean, one product that you can use to cook, moisturize your hair, remove makeup, and hydrate your skin -  really? Doesn't that sound too good to be true? Well, this secret weapon does exit and it's 100% natural unlike all the fancy beauty and cooking products out there. This little miracle is none other than, coconut oil. If you're a Pinterest guru like me, chances are you've read about the many benefits of this...

Color Crush: Blush Pink

The powdery hue also happens to be my all time color crush - it's sophisticated, timeless, and ultra feminine.  I've...

Fringe

This is truly one of my favorite times of year, when the crisp air begins to whisper in my sun-loving, Carolina ears, that fall is just around the corner.  Now twenty-something, I'm quickly reminded of all those childhood memories like carving pumpkins, baking pumpkin seeds, and decorating for the holiday's. My love for fall and suede fringe are one in the same; the two pratically go hand-in-hand. This Alice and Olivia suede fringe skirt is a great transitional piece for change of seasons. The fabric is a staple of cooler months, and yet the fringe adds texture to an otherwise simplistic...
