When my husband and I were planning our honeymoon 3 years ago there were so many places on our list. Would we go to Thailand, venture south to Costa Rica, perhaps Alaska even? After back and forth talks and putting my research skills to use for months, we finally decided on Continue Reading…
That special time of year has come, some of us call it the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, others call it Christmas in July because that’s just how it feels! This was my first year shopping the sale and I can already see what I have been missing out on. When I realized that these things were at such a great markdown for a limited time, things that I would normally be buying anyway, I jumped right on the idea of these savings. Let me explain how it works,Continue Reading…
Your wedding day is that one special day that you prepare months, maybe even years for. It is perhaps the one day in your life where it’s okay to splurge a little, to indulge a little and to make all of your princess dreams come true. I never dreamed of becoming a princess, but I did dream about Continue Reading…
Let’s face it, who hasn’t been to Target and found themselves buying a whole slew of things that they didn’t initially go to the store for. Sometimes I buy things that I don’t even need! I am going to let you in on a little secret of mine, Continue Reading…
Traveling to the farm, any farm, is one of my favorite places to go and that’s just what I did this past Sunday. The animals, the crops, the lush flowers and the smell of perhaps the crispest, freshest, purest air you will ever breathe. This particular farm is just a 40 minute drive from me, therefore, making it somewhere that I am able to frequent more often. I really love taking advantage of picking my own fruit and veggies when they’re in season. What is better than Continue Reading…
Well, well, well..my very first “Pretty Things” post on my blog! I thought this would the perfect time to feature one of my favorite pieces lately, my Louis Vuitton Favorite PM in the absolutely stunning damier ebene pattern.
I’m not one of those women who feels the need to label hoarder. I don’t absolutely need a handbag or a pair of shoes just because it’s from a specific designer, and trust me, I am all about a fabulous deal (more to come on that!). My husband saw that I had been eyeing this handbag for a while, in fact, almost a year! When I am thinking of splurging on something, I really like to take my time, do the research, and sleep on it. I like to ask myself:Continue Reading…
Our first big road trip this summer, Virginia! After a daunting 7 hour drive, we made it, and boy was it worth the drive. Colonial Williamsburg is something right out of a history book, so picturesque and quaint. As someone who truly can appreciate antique furnishings and historical buildings, I really found Williamsburg super easy to photograph. I am by no means a professional photographer, I am more of a girl with a nice camera who likes to capture beautiful sights. After spending the day at the local Busch Gardens with my nephew, we decided to take some time to walk the streets of downtown Williamsburg, which is where I captured all of these photos.
How appropriate to begin this new venture of mine on the 4th of July, a day that celebrates freedom! Writing and sharing things that make me happy are the ultimate sense of freedom, really. My previous blog has dried up and wilted, suddenly I became disinterested in what I was writing. I was growing (getting married, graduating college, starting my career), and my blog got lost in the dust somewhere in between. It was time for Continue Reading…
