When Sex and City first entered my life, it was on E!. I was five when the first episode aired on HBO. I remember my parents would put my sister and I to bed on Sunday nights a littler earlier so that they could be on the couch for that opening theme music. As anContinue reading “Carrying on with Carrie Bradshaw”

Day Dream Travel
I will be honest, I do not travel very much. My childhood vacations were spent in Williamsburg, VA and VA beach. Both no more then 2 hours from home. In my teen years, I loathed the same old trip with family to such a “boring” place. Now as an adult, we don’t take many familyContinue reading “Day Dream Travel”
Weekly Wedding Words: Ways To Save
In the beginning of your planning, determining your budget is a huge first step. No venue can be booked and it is hard to get started without an idea in mind. When Jacob and I started planning our wedding, we knew we had a smaller budget. Once we selected our venue and that was overContinue reading “Weekly Wedding Words: Ways To Save”
Putting A Spring In Our Step
For a lot of us today, we are ignoring those structured pieces, bulky sweaters and extra tight pants, in exchange for cozy cottons and fuzzy socks. I feel for my poor clothes, pushed to the side in exchange for something cozy. Even more so…my poor shoes! I haven’t worn anything other than bunny slippers andContinue reading “Putting A Spring In Our Step”
Sweet As Sugar: A Cotton Candy Soiree
The eternal optimist in me has become determined with creating special events even while we are stuck at home. My heart hurts for all of us, especially those of us who have had their wedding, baby shower, or birthday “taken away from them” this year. I have seen some pretty creative celebrations come out ofContinue reading “Sweet As Sugar: A Cotton Candy Soiree”
Quarantine and Cozy
Over the last few weeks, as more and more people have headed home, I find myself curious. How does everyone look? Are you still showering regularly? Are you exclusively wearing your comfy sweatpants from senior year basketball that are not all that cute anymore? The mind of a stylist is always styling not judging. StayContinue reading “Quarantine and Cozy”
Wedded Together
For those of you who don’t know, I am still a newly wed. I got married October 26, 2019 and some claim I still walk around with my head in the clouds like a newly wed would do. This time last year, I was knee deep in planning. To fast forward to two months outContinue reading “Wedded Together”
The Walk
I know I am not the only Bride who has walked herself down the aisle for one reason or another on her wedding day. I remember every moment of that walk. For such a quick moment of a long day, it certainly can hold its own in as far as memories go. To fully tellContinue reading “The Walk”
Weekend Getaway Essentials
Spring can not come fast enough! The groundhog may not have seen his shadow but spring is still rolling in slow here in RVA. For those who cannot afford the tropical getaway, I still recommend a getaway to ease those winter blues. I have found that a change of scenery is usually all it takesContinue reading “Weekend Getaway Essentials”
The day of hearts and roses
For someone who loves love, it should be no secret that I very much enjoy Valentines day. Over the years as we grow up and grow old, I think our hearts get a little cynical. It is easy to brush off the 14th as “not a real holiday”. While every day should be love filled,Continue reading “The day of hearts and roses”
