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.

Midweek Midi

Skirt: Sachin and Babi by Anthropologie | Shoes: similar - Topshop | Top: similar - Vince      Sunnies: Rayban | Purse: Tory Burch While I've always been drawn to more feminine pieces and prints, I never considered midi skirts as a flattering option for my 5'3" stature!  I had a change of heart after discovering this Sachin and Babi at Anthropology several weeks ago!  And, lucky for you, it is now 50% off! I love bright pieces, so it's no surprise that this skirt immediately captured my attention! I also found the sheer paneling along the hem to be quite unique.  The skirt has so many...

Photos by: Kim Graham Photography As some of you might have seen via Instagram, several weekends ago I was in Charleston, South Carolina for the third annual Southern Blog Society Conference, otherwise known as #SBScon.  Overall, it was such a fantastic experience, and I enjoyed meeting so many women from across the Southeast! This was my first time attending a blogging conference, so you can imagine how excited (and nervous) I was!  The conference was a three day event, which kicked off Friday evening with a cocktail reception hosted by one of my favorite companies, Swoozies.  They are...

Baby Blues

Photography by: Garrett Price I've always loved dresses, but lately I have been wearing one almost every day.  They are comfortable, professional, ladylike, and the best option for staying cool in the summer heat.  The temperatures in Charlotte have been reaching triple digits, so a dress is about the only thing I can tolerate wearing!  My favorite places to shop for dresses are ASOS and LuLu's. They have such a great variety of dresses to choose form. I've included a link below to some dresses that I...
