To be honest, spring and I have a love/hate relationship.  I have terrible allergies, especially living in KY, but I usually get SO excited that it’s finally warm out that I want to go frolick and do cool outdoor things.  I typically just suck it up, bring some tissues, eye drops, and nasal spray, and call it a day.

Every spring, Andrew and I always head to the waterfront for a romantic spring picnic.  However, our picnics mostly involve just the wine and no food ha!  On a rare occasion, we’ll pick up some carry-out and bring it, but there’s something so simple and peaceful about sipping on a good glass of wine by the water {and by water, I mean river — we’ll take what we can get}.  When Andrew and I first started dating over three years ago, he surprised me with some gorgeous flowers, my favorite wine, and took me for a romantic spring picnic by the water.  Ever since then, we try to visit this spot when we get some down time and when we just want to relax a little bit.

This little floral dress from ModCloth is the perfect outfit to wear on these type of warm & uplifting spring days.  It’s feminine, functional {great for layering}, and versatile, which all together make the perfect spring staple outfit.  I also fell in love with these metallic boat shoes and loved how they add a bit of a statement to the outfit.  This romantic spring picnic was definitely casual, so I traded in my typical pumps for these boat shoes from ModCloth, and I wasn’t mad about it!  Also, how delicate yet gorgeous is this ‘map’ necklace?! It adds the perfect amount of ‘gold’ to this outfit!  ModCloth’s spring new arrivals are must-haves at great prices, making you feel confident wherever you go!

What are some of your favorite spring activities? Have a lovely Tuesday and thanks for reading!

A big thank you to ModCloth for sponsoring this post.  As always, all opinions are my own.

  1. Amazing outfit! Loving the floral print and those shoes let it comfy! 🙂

    Outside of seasonal pollen related, which is currently killing me, my allergies lessened when I moved to Georgia from Louisville. I was on allergy shots year round up there but now only need Benadryl to get me through pollen season. I love how much they have upgraded the waterfront.

    • I’m about to try some allergy shots — it gets worse the older I get. It looks like I need to move to GA during spring ha! I also love how they made the waterfront so much nicer than what it used to be. They always have tons of fun events down there too! Thanks for stopping by, Farrah!

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.
