Alright friends, I'm a first-time mama-to-be. I know you must be thinking "why is she preaching to us about what she's packing, as if she's some pro?". Well, I'm here to say I have no idea what I'm doing! I did do a ton of research though, about what to pack for the upcoming hospital stay. I read articles written by nurses, and had plenty of conversations with current mamas. First off - know ... Continue Reading...

Thanksgiving is this week, which means it's time to shop for major deals. Some of you may be into the late night/early morning shopping, but not this girl.

For My Fellow Brides
Alright current brides-to-be (and anyone else who is into all-white errrrrything), I'm talking to you this time. My wedding is less than 3 months away (insert very excited screech!) and I have been stalking my favorite retailers for wedding showers, bridal lunch, and rehearsal dinner attire. I found some good stuff, but I'll be honest, it took a minute since I was a little picky. I wanted to ... Continue Reading...
Easter dresses
For all my fellow southerners, if you are a believer and celebrate Easter, you probably definitely show up to church in your new Sunday best, the day of. Aside from it being the most important holiday in the Christian faith, I love to see the little kids in their dresses, hats, suits all hopped up on sugar and running around with their Easter baskets in tow. Whether you celebrate the holiday or ... Continue Reading...

How it all began….
I've seen a lot of new faces around lately, so I thought it would be a good time to introduce myself, and talk about how I got started in the 'blogosphere'. First, my name is Lindsey and I live in Atlanta with my 4-year-old lab/furbaby, Munson. I grew up in Athens and stayed for college, hence my intense love for the Georgia Bulldogs. I have three younger sisters (I know what you're ... Continue Reading...

Careful What You Wish For!!
I've always been a cold-natured person; I would rather be hot and sweaty all day long, rather than freezing my arse off. So when we had a recent rush of cooler weather, paired with a trip to the Windy City, I was longing for my typical Southern "spring". Yes, I say it with quotation marks, because let's be serious - we basically go straight from winter to summer, skipping spring. And I got what ... Continue Reading...

Well stress no more, because I have collected some of my favorite swimsuit and cover-up looks for this season! First up, suits... And these cute cover-ups.

Happy Thursday! If you have been following my insta stories, you know that not only did I receive the new J. Crew catalog yesterday (and had googly eyes over nearly everything!!!), but I also spent the better half of my lunch break today shopping. Becaaaaause, why wouldn't I?! Anyway, I wanted to share with y'all some of my favorite pieces I tried on...I had to legit talk myself out of buying ... Continue Reading...
Spring Fever
Who has it (besides me)? This has been the most mild winter I can remember in Georgia - in fact, the pollen is already out. Cue sinus probs in February. Eye roll. Anyway, this weather has me ready to break out the sandals and 'springy' outfits. Today I'm going to highlight some of my favorite new sandals! First up, Vince Camuto. The Bailey Lace Ups on the left are high on my list - they'd ... Continue Reading...
Arm Candy for the ‘KEEP’
Who doesn't love some good arm candy?! I think it can totally make your outfit! I have two go-to watches I interchange - a gold Michael Kors and blush pink Piperwest that I pair with a couple David Yurman and Alex and Ani bracelets for my everyday look. For a fun night out, I typically will add different bracelets to complete whatever look I'm going for. Recently, I was introduced to KEEP. ... Continue Reading...
Be Mine?
Who else thinks Valentine's Day is one of the most overrated Holiday(s)? Well, besides New Year's Eve. There are undoubtedly expectations placed on this silly day, that more times than not are unmet. However, who says you can't still be cute whether you're on a date with your honey, out for drinks with your girls, or just straight chillin' on the couch with your fur baby?! Check out some of my ... Continue Reading...
Friyay Date Night!
If you're like me, you sometimes look in your closet and think "I have NOTHING to wear". Uhhhhh, reality check - you have lots of options. What I've found is simply by adding a statement necklace to a basic sweater, you've suddenly made your outfit less basic AF. Below you'll see a few items similar to what I throw together for a fun date night on the town. Typically I pair fun heels {aren't ... Continue Reading...
These {OTK} Boots Were Made For Walking
Alright, so I have to admit it took me a little while to warm up to the OTK boot trend. I'm not sure why it seemed much different from the knee-high boots I've been wearing for the last few years, but it did. After much searching, I found my perfect match - I give you the Vince Camuto 'Lorrey'. What I like about them - not only are they extremely comfortable (I walked all over NYC in them), but ...

Baby blues and booties
Hi loves - welcome to my blog! A few weeks ago I had my first photo shoot - a big thanks to Ryan Duggar at ryanduggarphotography.com. A natural at modeling, this was easy. I kid, I kid. This was a bit daunting at first, and definitely outside of my comfort zone. I will say, it helps having someone experienced behind the camera to guide/direct you. So let's get down to the important stuff - ... Continue Reading...
