From Stripes to Polka Dots

Shoes, belt, and top: target, pants: gap, watch: michael kors, ring: david yurman

I’m BACK! Don’t get too excited. I can hear the screams of…joy?… from here. So I converted: from stripes to polka dots. For those of you who don’t know me, I love my stripes, but when I saw this top on sale at target, well…I had to get it.  I didn’t realize that half of my outfit is from target…it was a coincidence, I swear.  But even if it wasn’t, target is awesome, so why not wear a whole outfit from there?

Hope you all had an awesome weekend! I finally got to relax a bit after that stressful week of school work.

10/27/18 Mr. & Mrs. White

There’s not a day that goes by when I don’t feel so blessed to be Jordan’s wife. He is my everything. These photos and video are the sweetest reminder of our love for one another. So, grab a cup of coffee, pull up a seat, and try not to bawl your eyes out (because I know we did). Every time we look through our photos and watch our video, we cry the happiest tears.

The Proposal

It’s crazy what can happen in a year. I met the love of my life and the rest is history. I was having a hard time ending this post, because frankly, I think I could talk about that evening forever. Then I realized that this post doesn’t have an ending, but instead, a beginning. Thank you so much for all of the love, excitement, and gratitude.

Dark Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

One of my favorite things to do in the fall is bake my dark chocolate chip pumpkin bread! I’ve made it *so* many times for me, J, and friends & family. It’s moist, decadent, and super easy to make! It also makes for a great DIY housewarming gift.
