I woke up this morning to the sound of two children outside my window- making snow angels at 7a. I had been eagerly awaiting the snowstorm all night- checking the weather far to often- hoping the cold rain would end and the magical snow would start as soon as possible. Sometime…

I’m a huge fan of creamy white- I probably own 15-20 items in that color. It’s one of my favorite colors to thrift and layer- and if you ask me- fall and winter whites are totally on point and perfectly seasonal. Today in Nashville it was 65 degrees, sunny and perfect,…

November 17, 2014
I want to communicate about something I’ve been thinking about a lot recently- I see so much written about the influence of the media upon female body image- but I feel there is another far more destructive force at work- which is the culture we have created ourselves.
