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!

Hat Lady
It’s no secret that accessories are the key-players in every great outfit, and as colder weather approaches I am growing more excited about my favorite fall accessory… hats! Over the years women’s hats have gone beyond necessity to become fashion statements. They can punctuate a look, camouflage a bad hair day, and ward off the chill in colder months.

Skirt: Ann Taylor | Vest: Bevello (similar - Chicwish) | Pants: J.Crew | Shoes: Altuzarra for Target | Purse: Louis Vuitton | Hat: American Apparel | Jewelry: David Yurman (1 // 2 // 3 // 4).
