These pictures are everything, not because of the awesome red wall in the background but because of the story I have to go with it.  SO, I’ll begin, yes?
Andrew and I were driving downtown trying to find somewhere quick to take pictures.  Soon enough, we drive by this parking lot with a red wall.  We’re like “oh yes. NAILED IT. PeRfEcT WaLL eVeR!” So we pull into the parking lot and I look at the building and it says it’s a “showclub.” Andrew and I were like “I wonder what bands play there…” so we continue to get out of the car and take pictures.
WRONG.
WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG.
Why didn’t we get it?! Red wall. Red sign. Red everything.  Sketchy people outside smoking cigs dressed promiscuously staring at us take pictures…then we realized what a showclub actually is.  
Yikes.
Our naive little souls couldn’t take the realization that we were taking outfit photos at a strip club…I guess I should be happy that the boyfriend didn’t know what a showclub was anyways. I would say “never again.” Buuuut…that wall is too good to pass up.  I have no shame in going back. {Actually, let me specify: I have no shame in going back…to take pictures only.}    
P.S. Sing the title, and maybe you’ll understand.

  1. I recently bought a pair of glossy violet Huntress Wellies which I love and wear them nearly every time go out and seeing you wearing your red foldaway Hunter Wellies with such a lovely Dress makes me very happy, you look really yummy.

    Haha what a delightfully awkward situation! I totally agree with you though, that red wall is just such a perfect backdrop for a photo shoot – especially for an outfit like this! Va-va-voom! You look stunning and those Hunter boots are to die for!

  7. bahahaa seriously so funny! and i never realized that roxanne was a song about prostitutes, in fact i never realized it was a song. my dad once proposed to his girlfriend when he was 19 ("mardi gras" he says) and her name was roxanne and whenever the story comes up my mom always says "roxanne" in a sing song voice and everyone laughs. i always just thought it was funny and totes didn't realize what was going on! hahaha! that story just got better after you clued me into this!

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.
