my boys

Visits down to Summerton are long, but well worth the miles on my little car. At the end of the yellow brick road awaits Daniel, and not to far behind, Buster. Daniel is my darling boyfriend that i could not imagine life without, and buster is his best-friend. Buster is always in tow, and used to make a point of sitting right in between Daniel and I on the couch when we first started dating. He's warmed up to me since then...but i think it's only because i give good belly rubs :)

Down in Summerton it's a simple, uncomplicated way of life and 

I'm always perfectly happy with my handsome boys.

goodmorning everyone! it has been one chilly week so far...don't let these pictures fool you, i was freezing when i took them! this fall and wintery weather has come upon us georgians with full force, and i'm shocked i'm even saying this but it's a refreshing contrast from our muggy, and hot summers. 

today i'm mixing up my wardrobe to concentrate on a laid back chic look. i love how johnny depp's strange fashion choices have made a quirky fashion trend for this past summer and fall. if you want to add a bit of edge or flair to a laid down look, a casual and cozy flannel will do the trick... as well as help keep you warm, along with a cup of coffee :)

i hope you all have had great weeks! we're busy little bees at work getting ready for the holiday season! 

xo,

happy wednesday everyone! 

today i spent the afternoon cleaning out my closet...finally, i think i've been saying i was going to do that for about 2 months. it was out with really old and in with my winter clothes that have been in storage. i still have some filtering out to do but i think i definitely made some head way on getting my closet a little more organized, something that is a constant struggle! during my closet overhaul i pulled out my tried and true blue blazer...actually a hand-me-down from my grandmother. she purchased the jacket while studying abroad in oxford. i think this will stay in my closet forever!! such an amazing piece, and so beautifully made that it is my closet classic. when pairing this heavier blazer i stuck to a light cotton button up. stick to something a little lighter underneath so that you don't get too warm...it's not too cold yet down south! 

i hope your days were blessed, thank you for stopping by!

xo,

A

Merry happy

hi friends!

so sorry about the delay to the start of my week with blogging! i had such a wonderful weekend with darling friends who came to visit, along with my dashing boyfriend. we spent the weekend out dancing, eating, and being merry…
it was perfect, and i’m still slightly on my weekend high of happiness.

today fall is truly in the air with crisp wind rushing around along with rustle of the leaves.
i love how the leaves turn into my photo props during the fall :)

today my key casual pieces were highlighted by my new red lip love, Beso by Stila…
i don’t think i’ve ever had a more perfect red!

i hope your wednesdays were wonderful, thanks so much for stopping by!

xo,

one thing that i'm loving about the transitions this year is that spring colors are carrying over beautifully into fall! 

designers are trading in the darker shades for lighter pastel tones that add a wintery glow. 

today i wore some of my spring staples and layered them up for a fall feel. 

how do you like to transition your wardrobe into fall?? 

are there any subjects you'd like me to do a feature on? I'd love to help out and share some ideas with you!

brunch

yesterday mom and i had the pleasure of heading over to buttermilk kitchen for our last meal together on her visit. we ordered up two cups of coffee and dove into our waffles and french toast...buttermilk kitchen has officially moved to number one on my list of favorite brunch spots in buckhead. i hope everyone had as wonderful a weekend as i did! did anyone else try heading to a pumpkin patch (like i did in my last post,) or did you carry out another fall tradition?? I'd love to hear about it!

happy wednesday everyone! today my hump day treat was a pumpkin spiced latte from my beloved starbucks...probably one of my favorite parts of october. along with pumpkin spiced pancakes, pumpkin spiced tea, pumpkin spiced cookies stuffed with caramel, pumpkin muffins... i try and manage to find a way to have pumpkin in most of my food during october :) 

today was black and white paired with my favorite soft pink scarf, not to mention my new fall staples from kate spade, my little black tuxedo flats! love love love the flair they add to any outfit. 

happy wednesday!

hey everyone,

it's finally the middle of the week... my how time seems to be flying by so quickly! i feel like just yesterday i was looking forward to the fourth of july, and now i'm looking forward to seeing all of the cute kids prancing around in their costumes at end of the month! 

i'm getting dress up started a little early this month and decided today i would be a new york gal. just imagine that i'm running around the city (instead of the atlanta marta station), flats tucked away in my bag in case my heels take their toll...and hey if i get lost, i can always take off my scarf, and check out the nyc map :)

happy wednesday everyone and thanks for stopping by! 

did anyone get to try out some fall decor like my pumpkin post from yesterday??

i'd love to hear about it!

hey everyone! i arrived back home yesterday from a trip down to summerton to visit daniel. it was a short, but sweet escape from the ordinary hustle and bustle in atlanta. i didn't take any glamour shots for the blog since i decided to stay in my favorite tshirt and distressed jeans for the day of my visit... sometimes i like to embrace that country girl that lingers in me. today i'm back to work and i'm loving the beautiful fall weather that i feel coming our way here in the south. being from savannah we don't get much of a change in foliage, up in atlanta and the north georgia mountains the trees change from green, to red, orange, and yellow. it's such a beautiful transition. i can't wait to head to a pumpkin patch soon! 

i hope everyone has a wonderful day! 

this fall a great trend starting is the pairing of green and black, especially zebra stripe textures...because i have not had a chance (or the budget) to go out and shop for a few new fall key pieces i looked to what i already had in my closet for a bit of inspiration.

every girl has a classic white v-neck and a pair of black pants or shorts. i took these key items and paired them with a vintage scarf and a tweed flower that i've had in my closet for as long as i can remember. i loved the lady-like look that came out of the pairing, and the colors were right on point for popular colors this fall.

these trusty pumps from zara add spice to every outfit! 

how do you plan to incorporate this trend? do you like it??

let me know what you think!

xo,

happy thursday everyone!

how was the day? it was beautiful weather here in Atlanta, 

and I had the pleasure of having the day off to enjoy it :))

so a fun fact about me is that i am absolutely obsessed with audrey hepburn. i know, i know, a lot of people say that....but i am beyond obsessed with her. i have about 15 books about her, a picture of her in every room of my house, i can quote most of the movies she was in, AND i have managed to memorize all of the songs in My Fair Lady. i buy clothes because they remind me of her, and i plan to one day have breakfast at tiffany's. i aspire to have her grace, her style, and have a love for little things, which it seemed that she truly did. i may have her on a pedestal of what i imagine the perfect woman to be...but hey, she seemed pretty damn perfect.
