{Friday recap} a flashmob + a Greenville weekend

 Haha, for real, though.  This weekend, I’m excited for some time with David.  Last weekend was so much fun but a piece of me is missing when he isn’t here.   {Well, more accurately… he was here, I wasn’t.} “Do you want to be in a flash mob?”  Have you heard those words before?  Yeah, me either.  Well, not until about 3 weeks ago, anyway.  When Erin asked me I was all hesitant at first.  {I don’t really dance unless there’s wine in my hand.  I mean, I like to dance I’m just not good at it.}  Erin put it… Read More

Celeb {fashion} inspiration

Remember this top?  I love it so much that I featured two ways to wear it.   Well here’s where it all started.  Last spring-ish, one of my friends was bringing some clothes over to ask my opinion about whether she should keep them in her closet or give them to Goodwill.  All of the pieces she asked me about are now lost on me… except one.  She brought her denim top over and was considering giving it away.  That officially began my denim crush.  It took a while to find the right one but it’s one of those pieces that I’m… Read More

Our {love} story: the first date

In case you missed part I, you can catch up on it here. After we met at the Elon game and hit it off, David sent me a message on Facebook.  {Seriously, where would we be without it?}  So I checked with Megan to make sure I wasn’t going on a date with an axe murderer or anything… she cleared me.  Our first date was to a Carolina basketball game sometime between Christmas 2008 and New Years 2009.  How cool would it be if I had like… saved the ticket/knew the date of the game/who they played… and all that… Read More

The secret?  Spray paint.    My sister Kaitlyn is the master crafter.  She’s refinished so much furniture in her apartment.  Here’s her most recent project. Here’s Kaitlyn with her step by step tutorial.

High five for Friday!

I love it when Friday rolls around because that means HELLO WEEKEND!  But first, here’s a look back at my favorite moments from this week.    We had supper club on Saturday night.  We ate homemade pizza, drank some wine and just hung out.  It’s always one of the highlights of my weekend when we have it. #loveoursupperclubpeople   Our Saturday night consisted of a big bowl of chili, a movie and our couch.   It was the perfect low-key night in.  We rarely have time to do that so it was perfect.  We watched The Fault in our Stars… Read More

Makeup must haves

If you were stranded on a deserted island, and could only bring 9 things with you… what would they be? Just kidding.  I wouldn’t bring all makeup.  Maybe just one.  But since there are no deserted islands around here… 1.  The Body Shop All in One Face Base.  If I could bring 9 things with me…  and if one was makeup, this is definitely my can’t-do-without item.  It covers but it’s lightweight.  It lasts all day.  It doesn’t end up oily after two hours.  It doesn’t end up oily after 12 hours.  I know because I’ve tested it.  I’m absolutely… Read More

Our {love} story

When people ask how David and I met and my response is “through mutual friends” I don’t think they expect the story that goes along with that.  Because meeting through mutual friends is normal.  Here’s our story. I went to High Point University and Megan was my RA turned friend.  I met her my freshman year and she was two years older and we were close all the way through her graduation.  And then we were still close after she left me.  We both had a love for sports so we would go do fun things like see Tennessee and Carolina… Read More

Two ways to wear a dress in fall + winter

I gotta tell you, two ways to wear is always my favorite post of the week.  I always enjoy thinking about a versatile piece in my closet and then doing a photo shoot.  Actually, two ways to wear originated with my graphic tee that I’m obsessed with and then it kind of evolved into a weekly post. But in the spirit of transparency, I struggled with this one.  I had a few ideas but they all seemed… too wintery.  Or too similar to something I had already done.  And then I decided that a transitional piece for now and the… Read More

House tour {the living room}

   I wish I had pictures of the transformation this room has undergone in 4 and a half years.  When we moved in, every room in our house was already painted a very light neutral.  Which I love in the kitchen, hallway, bedrooms, etc.  But the living room felt boring.  So I convinced my non-painting husband to help me paint the living room green.  Kelly green. Why that seemed like a good plan, I have no idea.  It didn’t take long before I was tired of it and then eventually I hated it.  With a passion.  So over spring break… Read More
