Modern + Minimal Nursery

     I had too much fun designing my first nursery start to finish for some of my favorite clients!  This super chic, modern. and minimal nursery is full of timeless pieces that can be grown into and used for many years to come.  My clients knew they wanted a statement wall in Hale Navy (Benjamin Moore), but besides that, they really let me take the reigns on the design.  My painter put together the simple gridwork trim on the wall and then painted it all one color.  The rest of the walls were already gray which worked with our color scheme and the simple gray crib.

Valentine's Day

     Happy Valentine's Day!  This fun shoot with pops of pastel + red was one of my favorites to date!  I knew I wanted to shoot in front of one of my favorite houses in Lexington in Gratz Park.  This home reminds me of a Charleston house on rainbow row!  The star of my outfit is this faux fur pastel jacket (which I snagged on clearance at Target!).  Since it's currently not online, I linked tons of similar options below!  I paired it with another Target fave, this mock neck sweater (also seen here) which was the perfect pop of red to match my heart balloons!  I've also been loving Maybelline's new matte ink lipcolors, and this Heroine shade is the perfect bright red!  You can shop all of my outfit details which are linked for you above + below!

Galentine's Day at The Amsden

    We had TOO much fun at our first Galentine's party at the Amsden and I definitely think this will have to become a regular event!  Thanks so much to all the fabulous boss babes who collaborated with us and participated in this event, making it extra special and fun!  I love how our vendors are always willing to jump in and participate and interact with customers!  They each are so uniquely talented and have the best personalities and I love that we all value community over competition as small business owners.  Most of all thanks to all of YOU for coming out to the event, even on a gross and rainy day!  We were blown away by the turnout and hope everyone had as much fun as we did! Check out some of our favorite shots of the event below including some photo booth snaps too!

How to Make the Coziest Bed

      There are a few things I believe are super important to invest in as far as home decor, and bedding is definitely at the top of the list.  When you sit back and think about it, this is something you use probably more than just about anything in your home!  Not only that, but your sleep is also so important to your overall health- so it's so important to give yourself the most welcoming and comfortable environment for a good night's rest.  Over the years, I've tried so many different pieces and methods for making up a cozy bed and I feel like I have finally perfected my technique!  I've narrowed down 6 easy steps to making up the coziest bed for you below.  I've also linked up my favorite tried and true bedding basics for you to shop!
