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...

DIY Halloween Wreath
Last month, I was playing on Pinterest when I came across this creepy twig wreath at Crate and Barrel. I loved it, but wondered why it was $50... I mean... it's sticks.

Tomorrow is officially the first day of fall! As sad as I am to say goodbye to the long, sweet days of summer, the feels of fall have me eagerly waiting for this day for a while.

Draper James and Reese Witherspoon’s Book ‘Whiskey in a Teacup’
Outfit details: DRESS | SHOES | BRACELET | BOOK When I first heard about Reese Witherspoon’s clothing line Draper James, I was incredibly excited. I love Reese’s style so I couldn’t wait to see how she’d bring that to life with a line! Now in its third year, her collection continues to offer pieces inspired by her Southern roots (like this dress or these short). As a Southern girl myself, I almost spit out my coffee when I got the email that Reese Witherspoon was releasing her first book, 'Whiskey in a Teacup.' This evening at the Belk Theater in Uptown Charlotte, Reese Witherspoon is...
