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 About the #NSALE

The Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale is finally open to the public, so you can shop the sale with or without being a Nordstrom's card holder.  Usually, I am not incredibly impressed with the Anniversary Sale, but this year there are a lot of great options all-around (especially the beauty exclusives).  I have put together some of the best deals and sorted them by category for everyone.  For those interested, I am sharing information about specific items that I either purchased or tried on.  Enjoy!

Creamsickle

Hey Everyone! By now you all know that dresses are easily one of my favorite things to wear!  When it comes to finding a great dress I can always count on ASOS to have something truly amazing and affordable!  One trend that I have been experimenting with is the crop-illusion dress, like this cream sickle little number.  This crop actually has mesh paneling separating the top and bottom  halves of the dress; great for staying cool in the summer heat!  ASOS tends to run on the smaller side, and I am wearing a size 4 in this dress.  I posted a similar crop-illusion dress earlier this week,...
