Lately, it seems like the majority of travel conversations I have found myself in seem to reference visiting Savannah in some way. While it wasn't on my original list of must-see places in the next few years, I have succumb to peer pressure and jumped on the Savannah bandwagon.

I've always had a huge appreciation for history, and there appears to be no shortage of that in the Georgian city. Whenever I get the chance to visit, I imagine strolling the streets (or riding on a super cute bike!) in girly florals, and perhaps some print-mixing - my go to!

Have you every been to Savannah, and must-see places?!

Fashion Week Faves

I am no fashion week expert, but I am throughly enjoying wasting all of my free time stalking the shows and presentations over at style.com. Two key takeaways - the 90's are back baby, and crop tops are here to stay - still not sure how I feel about those. 

While many fashion shows showcase beautiful pieces that aren't always realistic in everyday life, I tend to gravitate towards looks that I can see myself in - here's a roundup of my favorites so far! Loving - loud skirts, print-mixing, and beautiful patterns, sign me up!

What are you loving from fashion week so far? Anything I'm missing?!

Classic Overload

Happy Monday People! Is anyone else enjoying stalking the fashion week shows and street style as much as me? (I can't get over this picture, amazinnngg). Any favorites I'm missing?

As far as this outfit goes, apparently I decided that since black & white are both timeless I'd just throw on as much as humanly possible. Surprisingly, not a complete disaster. I wore this for a friend's birthday dinner a few weeks back, and avoided looking like a character from a 1930's film with a coral clutch and some red lipstick.

I Believe In // Family Dinners

Growing up, my memory of enjoying regular family dinners fades around middle school - probably because both my brother and I were involved in numerous sports/activities, and my mom was just trying to keep her head above water. But for some strange reason, I knew that when my husband and I got married last November, I wanted to reinstate the tradition. 

While we have successfully been able to enjoy dinner together most evenings, at times it can feel rushed due to trying to squeeze in workouts, and chores to get ready for the next day. I was reminded just how sweet a long, slow and relaxing dinner was Thursday evening when we were fortunate enough to have my dad stay with us, and cook us dinner! (best thing ever - I'm totally hiring a personal chef if I ever win the lottery). We enjoyed great food and were able to sit around the table, talk and catch up for a few hours. It was wonderful and a great reminder to slow down every once in awhile. 

Tell me, how do you relax everyday with your family?

Interweb Round Up

As a follower of blogs for a few years now, some of the posts I enjoy reading the most are those that introduce new (to me) gems that exist on the great world wide web. With this is mind, here's a few of my favorites around the interwebs right now! 

Let me know, what are you loving online? Let's share!

1. One of my weaknesses is sunglasses, so I was delighted to find this great website with a ton of fresh shapes and designs thanks to corals + cognacs.

2. My new favorite song to dance to - wake me up, you're welcome all who ride in the car next to me for the stellar performance.

3. An article on the expectation vs. reality of working full time - especially love the 2nd and 6th expectation bust, and about died laughing at the last - it's true!

4. Do not delay, sign up for Hukkster immediately, it alerts you when your must-have items go on sale -
genus!

5. After this post yesterday, I was reminded of one of my favorite articles about the woman of the hour.

Channeling Lyons

 It's confession time - I am a huge J.Crew fan. So much so, that at times I refer to their CEO Mickey Drexler, and Creative Director Jenna Lyons as if I know them. Both pathetic and true. So I was delighted to find that when I put this outfit on for the first time, it felt like I was channeling my main woman, Jenna. (we have the same name, so naturally we'd be friends). 

I know what you're thinking - that's quite the stretch, yeah yeah I know. By no means is this outfit revolutionary, but sometimes perception is reality and I'll take the reality perception that I may every so slightly resemble Ms. Lyons' style with this look. 

Who are your style icons? I'm also digging Taylor Tomasi Hill as of late.

While out in Nashville this past weekend, I saw a girl (she was probably in her mid-20s, but doesn't woman just sound too old?) who looked she was pulled right from the 90's - crop top, denim shorts, combat boots, and a plaid shirt tied around her waist. At first glance, this may have appeared off but I couldn't help but think she was on to something. 

Until recently, I thought plaid was only to be worn as a Christmas pajama pant but now I can't help but think of the versatility - pairing with delicate lace items, sequins and sparkles (especially for the holidays!), and dressing it up with a black blazer and pants. 

I'd love to know, what are your thoughts on plaid? Oh and PS - happy fashion week!
