taste of south walton, part 1

I love my job. I love my job. I love my job.  Weekends like these make it so easy to repeat this and who wouldn’t be proclaiming their affinity for work when it means spending three days wining and dining throughout South Walton, galavanting from one beach neighborhood to the next sipping fine wines and...

daydream believer

I’ve been accused more than once of being a daydreamer. I think it’s perfectly fine. Sure, it takes hard work, knowledge and a consistent effort to make things happen, but there’s no harm in imagining the possibilities. That’s half the fun. To encourage a little healthy daydreaming, here are a few inspiring words to fuel...

Hello, Nashvegas!

And… I’m off!  I’m en route to Music City for less than a handful of days to meet with a few journalists and bloggers on behalf of South Walton. Sure it’s work, but it’s also a mini-escape. These days I don’t have much time for moments on my own outside of the midnight to five...

tweet-worthy fall fashion

It’s taken me a little while to get into the swing of fall, mostly because the temperatures have remained in the 80s here at the beach. I’ve still been letting the sun kiss my feet in trusty J. Crew flip flops and holding on to the last sliver of summer in weekend sundresses, short sleeves and...

brews and i do’s

What a busy weekend this was! I love action-packed days full of friends and fun, but man, does it wear me out! Sometimes it’s hard to remember that we used to spend every non-work day out and about, from one event to the next, flying by the seat of our pants, heading in any direction...

atlanta and company

Wow, it’s been a busy month and it’s only half way over! Work has been crazy, trying to settle in to our new house has been time-consuming and on top of that, I’ve even been traveling for work. Though I wouldn’t normally be the one to go out and about in our major markets chatting...

bright & skinny

Crayon-like stems are definitely a “thing” right now. What do you think? Would you wear  colorful pants? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

neon + neutrals

Have you noticed all the highlighter-hued clothes popping up lately? It’s not an over-the-top 80s revival with head to toe neon and spandex, but this time around, the look is more sophisticated and grown up. The most important part: neon is balanced by tame neutrals. Sunny yellow paired with deep camel, soft blush, clean nude,...

lace, pearls & angel wings

I recently read this article over on coolmomtech that names babies as the next great American consumer. I believe it. Who knew I would ever spend so much time browsing any Etsy page, baby boutique or store aisle that remotely appeared to have baby clothes, toys or accessories? Not me. But I have. And I’ve found...

half a year

How is it possible that six entire months have already flown by since March 31st? Emery is already at the half year mark and I still sometimes have to remind myself that Hunter and I have a baby! She is such a cool. laid-back girl and has fit right into our lives like a perfect...

casual friday – grey stripes

It’s casual Friday, arguably the best day of the week (hello weekend!), and I’m loving this grey stripe/jeans look, complete with snazzy clogs, a friendship bracelet, a crafty necklace and the coolest Michael Kors bag I’ve seen yet. It definitely goes from work week to weekend fun.

toes in the water

While Hunter and I were in Tallahassee watching our Seminoles play, his mom Michele took Emery to the beach for the annual Coastal Clean-up. One little girl was so excited to see everyone doing their part to pick up trash, throw away garbage and help keep our beautiful beaches just as pretty as they should...

shades of spring 2012

I always love to review the color report after every fashion week and this Pantone palette doesn’t disappoint. Can’t wait to start shopping for these bright, energetic colors next spring!

red + pink

You might see the title of this post and think red and pink? Together? Outside of February or a Valentine’s Day card? I say absolutely! It’s a bright and fun combo that doesn’t clash, but complements each other adding more power, femininity and boldness than almost any other color couple. Go ahead, give it a...
