I have the worst, and I mean, the WORST habit of always leaving a hair tie around my wrist.  After I snap a few outfit pictures and am on my out, I then notice the little black tie on my arm.  I guess I have to be able to throw my hair up into a ponytail at a moment’s notice, especially in the summer.  Long hair problems.

Phew, now that I got that out of the way…let me tell you about my eventful evening yesterday.

A good friend of mine, Lauren, and I decided to collaborate together.  She’s this awesome photographer, newlywed, and blogger over at Lauren W Photography who definitely knows a thing or two about snapping some pics.  I took a couple outfits that I’ll be wearing this weekend and the next for some events that I’m going to, and she snapped away.  Sounds not awkward and magical right?  Wrong. With me, everything is always awkward {c’mon, guys, y’all knew that}.  If someone was walking by us as she was taking a picture of me, I would stop what I was doing and stare at them and say “hi” {just one word} in a creepy low voice.  I’m pretty sure that I was one of the most awkward people she has ever photographed, which I’m not surprised by, because we all know normal people don’t harass pedestrians on a sidewalk.

So head on over to Lauren’s to check out some of her awesome photography. Speaking from experience, once you start going through the pictures in her posts, you literally can’t stop.

Sigh, *oh to be talented*.

    That turquoise necklace is stunning against the neon! How fun that you got to do the photoshoot with her, even if it was slightly awkward. 🙂

  9. I love this look, Grace!! Need to try the neon with the turquoise! I also like how you tucked the necklace inside the top. Nude pumps always look the best right?

  10. The top and necklace are perfection together!

  11. You and I are exactly the same 😛 I always leave like 4 hair ties on my wrist…oh well…people just think it's bracelets 🙂 And I'm totally awkward in front of the camera, and I get so embarrassed when people start to watch me. I don't want people to think that I think I'm a model or something 😛 P.S. LOVING the emerald/turquoise statement necklaces 🙂

    I have the exact same habit – I just leave the hair tie in my photos though. I can't help it – I actually feel a little bit naked without a hair tie around my wrist haha

    Great outfit! I love the color of the top!

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.
