We are seeing glimpses of beautiful weather in Georgia and I can feel that spring is around the corner. I am excited to ditch the vests and sweaters and embrace dresses, linen, and tanks.
I put together a roundup of some of the pieces I’ve got my eye on for spring. I’ve already ordered this set, fingers crossed it’s as cute in person as it looks!
I got these drawstring pants a week or so ago and have already worn them. So comfortable and love that they also come in ecru.
I love this jumpsuit. It’s on sale for $30 right now and it’s taking everything in me not to order it. I don’t need another jumpsuit but man, it is so cute.
This pink cardigan is so sweet. In my opinion, light pink goes with everything and can really act as a neutral.
This hot pink tweed blazer is a recent addition to my closet, and while I haven’t had the chance to wear it yet, I can’t wait. I know it will carry into spring beautifully.
I do not need another vest, but this one? Gorgeous. I love the length!
This bag is such a great bag, and I have it in a different colorway. It also would make a great gift!
Thank you so much for reading! Aiming to get a Friday’s Five up this week as well. xo –

– adding some antiques from my parents into our new home –
– getting the scarf frame up –
It’s been a minute since we have had a Friday’s Five and this felt like a great time to start back. I took the majority of January off because I knew the move was going to be demanding of my time and wow, thank God I did. I got super sick and it made everything a bit more challenging than I expected.
But now that it’s February, I’ve been able to return to working and getting back in the swing of my normal routine, which has been so wonderful. While I’m still battling some symptoms (the month-long cold that won’t seem to go away), I still feel much more like myself than I have in quite a while.
We are planning on a long weekend of family time, popcorn movie nights, and getting a wallpaper quote (yay!). And of course, shopping those President’s Day sales, hunny. Thank you so much for checking in and I hope everyone has a great weekend! xo –
My January uniform was sweatpants only. And I have no regrets because I was focusing on surviving the day. So even though I’m now getting properly dressed maybe… 3 out of 7 days, I’m rounding up some of my favorite sweats and loungewear right now.

I have several of these claw clips and I love ’em. I don’t have this color assortment though – the ranges of taupe are so good!
I’ve been seeing the girlies wearing these taller athletic socks with the horizontal stripe and I just love them. So retro, so fun.
Love these city logo sweatshirts. Too cute.
Last month I was wearing matching sweats and an oversized vest daily. It was great. Lots of pockets for keys, phone, chapstick, headphones – everything I need.
Hanes mens sweatpants = underrated. For real.
I bought myself new sneakers last week, and it was such a treat. I love these, the beige is so great in person, and they’re marked down!
Loving this striped top and short combo. I’m envisioning it in the summertime after the pool.
Thank you so much for checking in and reading! Stay cozy (and warm!) – xo –
This is the last day of January – what a BLUR. But I’m going to look to the light and that’s red, pink, hearts, and all the fun Valentine’s Day things.

I have some holiday-themed spatulas and they are the cutest little things to pull out. I love this ruffled heart baker. How cute is that?
I confess that I bought a large bag of these delicious gummies and I don’t know who loved them more – myself or Hudson. I might need another bag for Valentine’s Day.
This is kept in my car and it’s a daily pick-me-up.
How cute is this simple sweater? I kind of love that it’s not obvious pink and red, making it wearable all season.
I have these pajamas and they’re great. You can’t go wrong with classic red!
Festive socks – too cute.
I try not to hop on too many trends but… I am into these. And I’ve seen them on other and they look so cute and different. What do you think?
I hope our Valentine’s Day is spent with takeout at home. Getting sick + this move has worn me out, I am hoping for some lounge time in February.
Thank you so much for stopping by and more to come! xo –
Women often say, “little boy clothes just aren’t cute.” And sure, while they may not be ruffly and scalloped, there are still plenty of adorable little boy clothes out there. You just have to know where to look!
I always joke that I find so much joy in dressing Hudson and Theo because I’m just creating my dream guy. Collared shirts under chunky sweaters with slim-cut joggers and lug boots. YUM.
Below I’m sharing some of the places I’m most likely to shop for my little guys.
The places I most like to shop for my boys:
If you have any favorite little boys spots to shop, please let me know! Thank you so much for reading – XO –
Kicking off 2024 with some organizational inspiration because that feels right. It’s January clean-out and straighten-up season, and nothing gets me more excited than cleaning out a drawer or closet.
Two things I’ve read before that changed my organizational life are:
I plan on getting some of these pant-loop hanger hooks. Especially if you have the right space for them.
This drying mat makes so much sense. I love how easy it looks to roll up and out of the way.
These nesting bowls are so great for saving space. I have and use them almost daily.
How smart is this little rolling shelving unit for a closet? Makes so much sense.
I try to only use black velvet hangers and it saves a lot of space. Once you go no-slip, there’s no going back. Ladies, am I right?
We have two of these in our house and they are so convenient. Highly recommend!

New house, same city!
The home we are currently living in has been our home for 4.5 years. I love this house, and it was the first home we purchased for our family, before Hudson had been born. I don’t know that we necessarily thought it was our “forever home,” but it has been a dream come true for me. I’ll never forget how I felt moving into this house… pinch me.
With that being said… I was not looking to move. But I am the kind of person who takes advantage of opportunities when they cross my path… and so is Christian. Twice before there have been housing situations that came up that we explored. However, during those times we both felt like it wasn’t the right move for our family.
This time, a home was presented to us and we thought, “let’s check it out… but I hope we don’t like it because this isn’t a great time to move for many reasons.”
Well… we loved it. The timing was mid-fall and together we decided to put in an offer. But we didn’t have the passion or energy to counter back and forth, so we put it to rest and moved on.
Or did we move on?
Christian kept thinking about the house for sale and after a little convincing, he encouraged me to put all our chips in and list our house. I had very mixed feelings about it. I have slowly been working on this house for many years and just this year thought, “I’m finally done for now until we add on xyz in a few years.”
After four days we had a several offers and that’s that.
There were so many dominoes that had to fall perfectly into place, and it was so layered that I truly put it in God’s hands. If this is the right thing for our family, please let it work out. If not, we are just fine staying put.
So now we have closed on both houses and are moving in a few short weeks. I am so happy to be able to share this now because it has kept us very busy, on top of work + the holidays. I feel like I was doing the least in my business because with the holidays, kids and spontaneously buying/selling houses I was simply trying to stay above water.
I feel relieved to share what had me doing the least compared to years past! I hope the gift guides were still helpful to you guys and this move will soon be behind us and my creative wheels will begin to turn again.
While I will deeply miss this house, our first to call our own, I know this is the right choice for our family. And I’m looking forward to sharing the design process with all of you! Thank you so much for checking in and I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Happy New Year! xo –
Rounding out our gift guides this year, we have some last-minute gifts (including some places you might be able to grab in person!) for those of us who aren’t quite done shopping for our loved ones just yet…

A few of these items I have and love. Let’s get into it –
This lip treatment is the best. I have one in my bedside drawer and one in my car. And trust me, people love receiving it as a gift!
Everyone loves these. And they stop working so great after a few years so it’s a great time for a refresh!
I couldn’t live without my upholstery cleaner. I mean I could… but with small kids, I wouldn’t want to.
My mom bought me one of these a few years ago and I pull it out when I feel achy. Combine it with a heating pad and enter: heaven!
THE clip-on light for photos and videos is a game-changer. If you have a pre-teen or teen to shop for, this is your gift.
Have you ever seen a cuter playhouse? Obsessed!
I bought this for my dad for his birthday and my mom will send pictures of him using it. Not only pretty but a great way to help your candle burn evenly.
Thank you so much for checking in! For more gift guides, check out the “holiday” section of this site or the “holiday gifts” collection on my LTK shop. I hope ya’ll are winding down and ready to get cozy! xo –
I have been on a major kick with blue cheese wedge salads for the past month or two. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen me share at least 6 wedge salads… maybe more. The limit does not exist.
I even made this for a potluck dinner with a few friends recently and it was a big hit (and really pretty!).
Even though the ingredient list is super short, they’re so easy to make and always feel indulgent, rich, crunchy, and filling.
I’m going to share the ways I like to assemble my wedge, but if you have your own version I’d love to hear in the comments!
Ingredients:
Iceberg lettuce
Crumbled blue cheese
Cherry tomatoes, cut in to fourths
3 pieces of bacon, chopped
Chopped chives or green onion
salt & pepper
Bottled blue cheese dressing (homemade if you’re extra fancy)
Directions:
Rinse lettuce. I usually cut 1/4 to half of the head of lettuce depending on whether it’s a side to an entree or the entire meal itself. Top with your chopped goods, dressing, herbs + salt + fresh pepper on top. Serve with fork and steak knife (the best).
What’s fun is that I change it up. Once I added a boiled egg, sometimes I skip tomatoes, one time I made croutons, sometimes I don’t add bacon, etc. Christian isn’t big blue cheese guy but I will make a similar caesar version for him or use fresh buttermilk ranch and fresh dill.
If you end up trying it, let me know what you think! For more recipes, be sure to check out the “food + drink” category of this site.

I was lucky enough to receive these headphones in a press mailer earlier this year, and now I genuinely like them more than my AirPods. Much more actually – and they’re a great price point by comparison!
How fun is this poker set? I don’t know how to play poker… but a little set makes me want to try. I do however love a good game of Mexican Train Dominoes. So fun and easy!
I got this for both my dad and Christian last year for Christmas. My dad uses his all the time. Christian would use his more except a little blonde baby tends to delightfully steal the golf ball.
Christian bought this quilted shacket when we were in Charleston and he loves it. He wears it almost daily when he changes clothes after work. Highly recommend!
I have this mug and have given two to grandparents in the past. It’s such a hilarious gift – one that I know brings lots of smiles! Similarly, my brother and his wife gave my dad these socks and they’re so great.
My mom got Christian these personalized ice cubes and they’re very cool. They make a drink feel extra special.
More gift ideas to come and y’all… we gotta get on it. Christmas is almost on the 10-day countdown! And more gift ideas in the “holiday” section of this site. Thank you so much for reading and see you soon – xo –
Sharing a few things that are on my holiday wish list this year. And it’s random… but aren’t all of our lists all over the place? That’s part of the fun, right?
To shop, click directly on the item or find its associated number below the collage.
I saw these small Juliska ramekins when we were visiting Charleston, and they were so cute and practical. I can see them being used for all kinds of things and would love a set of four. I’ve had our berry & thread collection since 2012 and we still love it.
Saw these platters on Etsy and not only thought they were so pretty, but they’re also so convenient for bringing an app, side, etc. to other friends’ houses.
I’ve been interested in a tuliperie for years. Some are higher end, and others like this one are much more reasonably priced. A unique vase!
Is it just me or is everyone talking about getting fancy filtered showerheads? Do I need this too?
I’m a huge fan of Our Place and these baking trays just make sense, honestly.
I wear these lug boots aaalllllll winter, so I think a heeled version would be so cute.
Please read this sweatshirt. The best.
I’ve been eyeing some old-school asics but don’t need another pair of sneakers. But maybe if they’re a gift…
Recently bought myself two of these rechargeable table lamps and they’re brilliant. Everyone needs a pair!
When I was gifted this rolling tote bag and it’s brilliant. The best gift – I love it.
Something about a virtual reality headset just sounds so fun. Like the party tool to bring out after a glass of wine. Is it weird that I want a toy? If it is… she don’t care (flips hair).
