Receiving a gift is always so exciting. Receiving a gift you truly love is simply heart touching. A dear friend was in New Orleans and found this dress and bought simply because she thought it “looked just like me.” I couldn’t agree more, and but I’m most thankful to have friends in my life who are so thoughtful. This little frock also makes me happy because it’s so ladylike, AND it makes me think of a wedding…cake, of course! Didn’t you see all the tiers of the dress. Ah, it really is a happy dress.

Fresh Mint

 Pastels have never been on my must-have list, but lately I’ve found myself gravitating toward the feminine color palate. In order to keep pastels age appropriate, couple them with a simple neutral (tan, black or grey) to break up the sugary sweet colors.

blue skies and thunderstorms

Thunderstorms are inevitable in May; however, with our 90 degree temps, any type of rain coat or trench just isn’t an option. Keeping rain boots at work and at home along with an umbrella in my bag are essential. Of course, the Georgia humidity one experiences after an afternoon thunderstorm leaves everything so dewey you might as well run straight through the rain. It’s going to be a loooooong summer, y’all.
