Just a few weeks ago, en route home from a trip down South, I made a quick pitstop in Baton Rouge to visit my frand, Taylor. Without the slightest hesitation, we ventured over to NOLA for a day of adventure and it was pretty much incredible. I mean…I basically ate all day. I’m a foodie, so I was living my best life!

Emerald Eyes

Emerald Eyes. Pretty clever name for a post, huh? Wish I could take credit, but I gotta give props to my sister-in-law, Katelyn for sharing her creative brain with me. And speaking of Katelyn, you guys may have noticed on Instagam the {seemingly overwhelming} amount of images showcasing the splendor of North Carolina.

The first weekend of December has already come and gone…we are officially in full Holiday mode! If your schedule is anything like mine, this upcoming weekend commences the first wave of holiday parties/gatherings. For nearly 11 months of the entire year, I do everything in my power to reserve holiday sequins for the month of December ONLY. There’s just something about sequins in December that make me one happy camper.

Evening Wear Wanderlust with David’s Bridal

If you’ve been following me awhile now, then you already know that I have infinite love for evening wear. I am personally convinced that my love for gowns started at a young age, thanks to dance and my participation in pageants. Yup, typical Southern Bell here.

Aujourd’hui

Aujourd’hui. Ahh, how I long to speak French. Aujourd’hui means TODAY. Honestly, I should have taken French rather than Spanish, but I barely made it out of that class with a B. Word on the street is that French is about a million times harder. I don’t doubt it.

Dainty

Over the last couple of months, I have learned quite a bit about myself. One of those things being that I absolutely love those richer, deeper reds. Cranberry, Marsala, Wine, whatever you want to call them, I love them all. For some silly reason, that I likely created in High School, I stayed away from this shade of red until February 2016.

1 Outfit, 2 Blazers

Here’s an interesting tidbit about me…I don’t particularly love blazers. Well, I love them, but not on me. With that in mind, it is usually one of the things I skip over while shopping. However, I am well aware that a blazer is one of those pieces that every woman should have somewhere in her closet.

One Last Summer White

The fact that summer is slowly fading away makes my heart a little bit sad. Granted, we’ve all endured the crazy heat, but there is nothing like summer! Oh, and not to mention I am feeling the pressure more and more to figure out my life. For the last 22 years, August has always represented a fresh chapter and a new routine.

The Quintessential Statement Earring

Ok, I know…picture overload! When I’m doing a post with multiple looks, I really try to keep it to 12-14 photos MAX, but Kimberly just made it WAYYY to hard for me. So, you can blame her for the overwhelming number of pictures in this post! Also, I should mention that I totally said this post would go live yesterday!
