TWO || RECENT NEW READS

Blogging has done so much for me these past seven years and it’s definitely shed some light on how much we all have going on, but I’m forever grateful for some of the blogging friendships I have made over time. Recently, I’ve been seeking out new reads, of those going through the same season of life, those with a refreshing take on their days, and ones that add something valuable when I hop over to read their blog. Wanting to share a few of my favorite new feeds with you, too! 

Natalie at East Coast Chic blogs about life, fashion, home, beauty, and her normal daily musings. It’s a wonderful mix of the things I like to read about most and she has the cutest little family. A must-read for all of us.  
The Hunter Interior, authored by Kristin Jackson, is all about inspiring readers to find good style at any price! Kristin’s taste is all together amazing and I love how she mixes high and low in each space for a unique spin on traditional design. She makes it easy for us design-challenged friends to understand how to make it work. And she lives in Atlanta so the southern tie is there, too! 
Speaking of southern, a local favorite read is my girl Brooke over at KB Styled. She is gorgeous and has an eye for fashion… and it doesn’t hurt that she is SO sweet in person, too. Our paths have crossed here in Music City and I am excited to get to know her better. I love her entire blog and her ability to work so many fun trends into her everyday wardrobe. 

THREE || WEEKEND FESTIVITIES
Try to hold back your jealousy as tomorrow we’re taking the girls downtown to enjoy DISNEY ON ICE!!!! Caroline is over the moon excited and keeps telling Jeff “daddy, you will love it”… joy and wonder in every single thing right now and I am fortunate that we get to have these little family dates! Hoping we can rise and shine early enough to make it to Biscuit Love for some breakfast goodies before the show. Afterwards, this gal is packing up the car and heading east to Knoxville for another Sugar Bit Trunk Show!! This time my girls Julie and Bev are hosting and I cannot wait to see so many of my beloved friends and Sugar Bit shoppers… you better bring your babies and little ones!!! All the info you’ll need to come join is included below 🙂 

FOUR || QUOTABLES 
If you have followed me for any length of time, you know my fascination of quotes… they boost my morale when I am down, they help start my days off right, and they are always good little bits to send to loved ones when you know they need a helpful ray of sunshine. Some of these have been speaking to my heart as of late: 

FIVE || RECENT FITTING ROOM WINS
Last weekend after Jeff came home from his boy’s beach trip, I decided it was time for mama to venture out ALONE for some Sunday afternoon shopping!! We all know this rarely ever happens for most of us, and I can’t lie… getting to enjoy a warm Starbucks while shopping solo at Green Hills could’ve been one of the highlights of my week. A little Nordstrom is always good for the closet. Here are a few recent wins from the fitting room that make for perfect fall staples that I know will serve a multitude of purposes.
