The Power of Wellies

wellies: hunter, boy roll up shorts: gap, button down: ralph lauren, bangles: coach, watch: michael kors, earrings: f21

It has been raining cats and dogs lately (wait, that is the appropriate phrase, right?). In the above pictures, although you {hopefully} can’t tell, I’m being poured on.  It was sprinkling and then of course when I stepped outside, it poured.  Sorry for the squinty eyes and the look of death on my face.

A friend of mine had called me and said she had a “fashion emergency.” (It really wasn’t an emergency; she tends to exaggerate like me). She had a date to go on and it was pouring rain, but thought that if she wore her wellies, it’d be hideous. Oh but little did she know…

Hopefully, she learned quickly.

So I thought I’d post an outfit in honor of her and her successful date night.  To you, young grasshopper, (raise your invisible glasses, please) because you know exactly. who. you. are.

    You are such a trooper for standing out in the rain for us! I always want to wear my Hunters with shorts or a dress but don't your legs get soaked? Either way you look adorable. Have a great weekend, Grace!

  58. Even when you're being poured on (which I don't see so therefore, I don't believe you) you look gorgeous. I love rain boots but the only ones I have are bright yellow. I tend to think they're awesome but my fiance doesn't like to be seen in public with me in them. I might need some like yours.

  59. Ashley says:

    LOVE the wellies! Also, I am so into those gap roll up shorts. I tried them on but I think I'm too short to rock them, so I'll just admire all you tall gorgeous ladies who can! 🙂

    Wellie boots is the most reliable protector when the rainy days come. It will shield your feet from wet floor or even flood. But still it manage you to look fashionable.

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.
