How perfect is this holiday cocktail dress that’s under $100?! It’s perfect for a work Christmas party or any other holiday cocktail event! I love the knotted detail in the front, making it more than just another strapless dress.

Did you know that we took these photos right before we got engaged?  It’s kind of funny looking at them now — poor J was a nervous wreck, and there I was, making him twirl me around in nice clothes! He’s always such a good sport.

Also, just a heads up my coat is one of my faves and is currently 25% off!

    Do you know where I could find a good southern men’s fashion blog? I am shopping for my husband for Christmas and wanted to get some ideas. Love this post on yours!! Love the dress!

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.
