Custom Needlepoint Wallet Giveaway

I haven’t done a giveaway in a while, but the level of excitement I have for this one is out of control. I’ve partnered with Brewster Belt in the past and every single time I am blown away by the quality of the product. My dad has been the lucky recipient of quite a few of…

On My Radar

This week was just so much fun. I had a few meetings that went well, but it was my photoshoot with Stylewatch Magazine on Wednesday that made the week amazing. When they asked if I was interested in doing it, I said yes before I gave myself time to think about what would be involved. I…

The Magnolia Story

Here today with a book recommendation!!! I sat outside Sunday morning, in the warmest February sunshine, finishing the second half of The Magnolia Story. It’s a quick read– perfect for to read on a lazy weekend or to tuck in your carry-on for a flight. My friend Nicole gave me the book when she was in town…

Kate Spade Scallops

I am obsessed with this outfit. It’s not something I could feasibly wear as an everyday look, but I kind of wish I could. It feels like I can conquer the world in the matching tweed. Luckily each of the pieces can be mixed and matched with my existing wardrobe to create different options that I can wear more frequently– like the cropped jacket with a pair of black pants. Every year my love for kate spade new york grows a little bit more, and these scallops have taken that love to a new level.

Trench Weather

I know it’s still February– and I know we will definitely have more snow in our future– but this weekend is the springiest weather ever. I’m talking perfect sixty-degree pure sunshine days. The birds are non-stop chirping outside, and I can’t stop smiling.

On My Radar

I think I’ve finally rounded the corner of this sinus infection. So gross, but glad I’m through the worst of it. I canceled as many plans as I could so I could stay inside and recover. I’ll have to do a little bit of makeup work this weekend, but I think I’ll still enjoy the…
