My Weekend in Staunton, Virginia + A Mini Visit Guide
As you know, we were out of town for a wedding this past weekend. It was a beautiful, spiritual wedding ceremony with family and friends looking on and the weather was absolutely GORGEOUS, just a perfect Virginia day TBH. {See what I wore to the wedding}. The wedding was on Saturday, but we’d arrived on Friday. After checking into our room and unpacking our bags, we joined our family for dinner at Depot Grille in Historic Wharf District in downtown Staunton. The next morning on Saturday, we had a couple of hours to spare before we had to get ready for the wedding, so we met up with some of…

Navy Blue Polka Dot Maxi Skirt and Statement Sleeves
Our nephew and his fiancé got married this past weekend on what was just a beautiful, perfect Virginia summer day, (CONGRATS to the newlyweds!). It was an emotional and spiritual wedding ceremony with family and friends looking on. Their wedding was our first wedding as husband and wife since we got married last year. It was a casual wedding and guests were asked to dress casually, so I choose this beautiful navy blue and white polka dot floor length maxi skirt and striped blue statement sleeves blouse, added a pop of color and my vintage hand-woven bag completed my look.

When the opportunity presented itself to take a mini getaway with Getaway House, I said yes and I’m so happy I did! The timing was perfect because the last day of school for my little one was a couple days before, I thought what perfect…

This Zara 2-Piece Floral Print Top and Midi Skirt Is Perfect for Summer
HAPPY JULY! Wow, I cannot believe we are halfway through 2018, like where did the time go? What has been your biggest successes and failures so far this year? I remember I wanted to create more content in 2018, especially Insta Stories, which I have been doing so that should count for something, right? Speaking of Stories, what do you all think about the newly launched IGTV? I am indifferent to be honest, like at first I was just not into it all. I felt like I just started creating videos for my YouTube channel and now this–another channel to create content for–it honestly just seems like a lot in…

Weekend at Ocean City Beach, Boardwalk Fun, and Riverfront Eats
As many of you know, Little A is out of kindergarten and soon to be in first grade this fall. To celebrate her milestone and kick-off summer break we took a mommy + me trip out camping with Getaways House then the following weekend we packed up the dogs and headed out to a weekend on the beach. Little couldn’t really go swimming, which I thought she was definitely going to have a fit about, but she was okay with playing the sand; we made sand castles together and walked around the boardwalk. WHERE WE ATE. We had lunch at Brew River Restaurant & Bar, a riverfront eatery serving…
