The Hardest Part of Blogging: A Moment of Truth

6 Comments

This post was originally published on August 13, 2017 and revised on March 1, 2019. I remember my 1st blog post like it was just yesterday. Before I hit publish, I felt that blogging would be a natural fit for me: I love writing, fashion, and I’m obsessed with beauty and skincare. Blogging should be easy right? Wrong. I quickly learned that all of thoseRead Now

5 Things We Love about the Hermes Evelyne

4 Comments

I thought I’d do something a little different for today’s Friday Faves post, and highlight one of my favorite bags from Hermès: the Hermes Evelyne! I adore this bag because of its’ chic functionality (I had a wallet, hubby’s billfold, a book, 2 phones, a makeup bag, and a camera in my bag pictured in the photo below), but also for all of the reasonsRead Now

Polka Dots and Tassels

Every now and then, you stumble upon a top that is so cute, and so flattering, that you want it in every color. This sapphire blue polka dot off the shoulder halter is that shirt! I am sooo in love with the cut and fit of this top. It runs true to size, and skims over any trouble areas (mine is my tummy ?). It’sRead Now

5 Luxury Bags that Go with Every Outfit!

2 Comments

One look at my Instagram feed (and who I follow) will reveal two things about me: I have a serious addiction to denim and to luxury bags! We all know designer items are not cheap, so cost per wear is a major factor in my decision to purchase luxe goods. A handbag must be versatile enough to be used on a regular rotation, and complementRead Now

The Best Bras for Your Body

1 Comment

Hey Socialites!  Today, I want to pay homage to the hardest working item in your wardrobe: The bra! A good bra is a must have for a smooth and supported look in your clothing. You can have on a designer blouse, but you will look less than chic if you have unflattering lumps and bulges that are the result of a poorly fitted bra. I readRead Now

New Mom Must Haves!

On February 24, 2016, I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl, Bella Rae Stanfield. Pregnancy was so rewarding and fulfilling for me, and I enjoyed every moment of it! Like most new moms,  I stockpiled soooo many things: Literally everything on the shelves at Target went on my registry! Being completely, honest, I didn’t use the majority of items that I thought were new mom mustRead Now

My mother and I have a standing tradition of afternoon tea at the O’Henry Hotel in Greensboro, NC.  It’s always so nice to be able to catch up over a cup of tea, in a serene setting.

Saturday Stripes and Sweets

One of the best things about small town living is the unique shops and boutiques that line our Main St. We have an ice cream shop, Six Scoops, that makes all of their ice cream (and waffle cones!) in house. Talk about delectable! Strawberry is my absolute fave, and so naturally I decided to dress for the occasion in casual pink and white stripes! ReadRead Now
