Everywhere I look these days I see shades of emerald green. From the catwalk to the sidewalk to the office, it’s in seeping into every level of dress and an assortment of styles. From the runway… Source: bridefinds.com via Jami on Pinterest …to a ‘City’ gal to Kate Middleton. (You should definitely strive for the...

India Hicks at the b.!
She’s baaack! India Hicks is back at the beach armed with a fabulous trunk show my eyes can’t wait to devour. India is launching a fine jewelry line and is showing it off to all of us lucky beach girls (and guys) before it even hits Bloomingdales. Location: the equally-fabulous studio b. in Alys Beach,...

going, going, gone
People always say it’s the little things in life that can make you happiest. Since we’ve moved to our new house, it’s been busy non-stop day and night. We’re a week in and we’re still unpacking never-ending boxes, trying to find the glasses, forgetting where the shampoo is, staying up to finish tasks once Emery...

currently obsessed with…
It’s officially a full-on obsession and I can’t get enough. I see zig zags and striped straws everywhere I look and it’s only added to the need for more. 1. How chic is this bold and fabulous dress? I’d wear it in a heartbeat. 2. Emery would look so cute and snuggly in these zig...

dip-dye hair
I’m not sure I could ever bring myself to do this to my hair, but perhaps cutting a few inches has given me a new wild streak. Even Lauren Conrad, who has become somewhat of a beauty icon known for classic, simple, girly styles, infused some crazy color into her blonde extensions (below left). It...

Pantone Color Inspiration
In my dreams, I’m at a fashion show in one of the big tents watching gorgeous models walk gracefully up and down the runway, and I’m mesmerized but furiously making mental notes about colors, trends and styles I see. Since that is only happening in my head, I like to review Pantone’s Fashion Color Report...

headed to the country
Yes, this will be me before you know it. Just replace the chickens with hunting dogs. That’s right, we are moving to the country! Hunter’s parents bought a house on the water where they can park their shrimp boat and we are selling our house then moving into theirs. We had been talking about the...

casual friday
Inspired by Jessica Simpson’s extravagant birthday gift, a new orange Birkin bag (can you imagine?!), here’s a complete outfit with more budget friendly pieces to balance the high and low. Crisp white pants in the summer never get old and the math nerd in me is drawn to this red geometric top. A few gold...

I Heart America
Happy Fourth indeed! I LOVE celebrating Independence Day! Red, white and blue infiltrates every avenue and the perfectly crisp and patriotic color palette looks sweet as can be on everything from food to fashion to the night sky. Navy and red become favorites and stripes…. oh stripes. I can’t get enough! I love finding spirited...

Ruskin’s First Friday
There are so many cool spots in South Walton that are well known to families from Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas and beyond (hello, Red Bar!). These places have become a visitor and local staple. You only have to drive through Seaside’s section of 30A to see sidewalks lined with the picturesque Seaside Post Office, the vintage...

three months young
My, how time flies! We’re celebrating the three month milestone of our sweet girl’s life and finding it hard to believe she’s been with us this long. It seems like just yesterday Hunter and I were breaking the big news to our families.

monday musings in black and white
Another Monday has arrived. The weekend’s over. The alarm goes off way too early. The one cup of coffee doesn’t cut it. The email inbox is overflowing. The day seems to drag on. One of these black and white signs would be just the right inspiration to sweeten any first day of the week. On...

sailor chic
I’ve officially joined the rest of the world and am quickly becoming addicted to pinning. It’s possibly the greatest thing since slice-and-bake cookies (or however the saying goes). My pin selections really show certain style preferences and I seem to have an overflowing amount of nautical-inspired pins. I’m loving this classic navy blue and white...

61 days of emery
I can’t believe another month with Emery has flown by so fast. Where did the last four weeks go? Today she got her two month shots and tomorrow I’m back to work. Next thing you know, I’ll be sending her off to college. So much has happened this month and I’m constantly amazed at how...

emery’s nursery
I’ve finally FINALLY finished Emery’s sweet little space. It took months of contemplating colors, cribs and furniture selections before I eventually put it all together for the princess. It was mostly complete by the time we packed our bags for the hospital, but a few details and waiting for the chair to arrive meant it...
