Well, I had big plans to post this to the blog shortly after my first was born. And then life happened. Being a mom has been one of the biggest blessings in my life, and as such, priorities have shifted. Sooo...17 months after his birth, I give you Ford's nursery. When asked to describe the style, I guess you could say it is rustic with a splash of safari? I didn't want it to be too ... Continue Reading...
Home Updates: The Den
When my {now} husband and I both sold our previous homes, we also sold most of the furnishings. We were so excited when we found the house we wanted to make our home. And while I love to decorate, I was in my first trimester (so, generally exhausted 24/7) and the thought of furnishing every room was a bit overwhelming. We obviously started with the staples and larger furniture, also ... Continue Reading...
Baby Registry Items
Hi - it's me again...the clueless first-time mama! ;) This time coming at you with tips on which products to register. As with my previous post about what to pack in your hospital bag, I've done a lot of research on baby products, items, and must-haves. I have also talked with my mama friends, who advised me about a thing or two. From there, I want to share what I have decided to *try* with my ... Continue Reading...
PinkBlush
While pregnant, I decided I didn't want to splurge on a bunch of maternity clothes, since they would be short-lived. So instead, I either wore over-sized clothing I already owned, or was selective about items I purchased. In the items I bought, I wanted them to be multi-functional - wearable both during maternity AND postpartum. Enter PinkBlush. If you aren't familiar, PinkBlush is an ... Continue Reading...
Hospital Bag – What to Pack
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...

Black Friday Deals
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. No. I will avoid those crowds at all costs, and shop {online} from the comfort of my couch, thank you very much. Whether you like to fight the crowd, or stay in, I've rounded up some of the best deals this season. I've included a variety ... Continue Reading...

If you're anything like me, you don't want to procrastinate, but often have a hard time figuring out what to get the special people in your lives.

What is all the madness, you ask? It's the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. In case you aren't familiar, or haven't already seen 354 bloggers posting about it....it's a once/year sale where items are insanely marked down. I'm serious.

Y'all know I love Nordstrom, especially when they're having a good sale. And guess what?! They're having their version of every other store's Memorial Day sale with their "Half-Yearly Sale"....AKA items are up to 40% off. That is a steal for some of this stuff!!

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...

So what does that mean?

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...
Are You Beach/Pool Ready?!
Who else gets stressed thinking about bikini season?! It seems like one minute I'm fat and happy in my winter uniform (aka sweats), and the next it's time to bare all. 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. Maybe I also decided to throw in a few hats, too. ;) I'd love to ... Continue Reading...
New Must-Haves!!
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...
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019
Hey y'all, I'm going to make this short and sweet! In years past, I've tried to organize my favorite items from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale* (aka #nsale), but I have a baby, recently went back to work, and ain't nobody got time for all that! So, during my lunch break I perused the store and took some time at night to look online for this year's picks. Some are basic items, with a few fun ... Continue Reading...
