I always love getting to dress up, and this ruffle cocktail dress made it so easy to do so! I wore this to a gala not too long ago and loved the way the dress fit.  It also comes in so many different colors.  Plus, there is a long version available here.  For all you brides out there, these dresses make perfect bridesmaid dresses! Some of the dresses are ‘convertible’, like this one, so that each bridesmaid can have a different ‘look’, but with the same dress.

It seemed like sticking with the basics for this outfit was probably the best choice–so, I went with my go-to calf hair clutch, my Valentino rockstud pumps, a silver/gold bracelet stack, and a simple braided hairstyle.  Feminine and classic was the look I was going for, and I was so pleased with the result!

Have a great weekend, y’all!

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.
