Lovely Sugar and the Hi Lows

Trent Dabbs and Amy Stroup have come together once again to create a brilliant sound. Their debut album will be available, quite appropriately, on the day of love, February 14th.
Below is a tiny sneak peek, and be sure to check out their website for more goodness.

Lovely Welcome Home

The boy is back home from his nation-wide travels. Lou-dog and I are quite happy.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

Lovely Pinterest Shopping

Every gal goes through days of feeling like their closet is empty...when that couldn't be farther from the truth. Pinterest doesn't help.

{PS: Are you Pinning? If not, join immediately. 

You can send me a thank you card later, from the stash of stationary you will obsessively pin.}

Here are just a few of the outfits I'm craving to recreate: 

Can I share a secret? I just bought those boots. The perfectly weathered L.L. Bean classic 12 inch boots above. I'm kinda giddy and waiting on baited breath for them to arrive.

If you are on Pinterest, I'd love to follow you! Leave a link to your page in the comments below!

Lovely Wailin' Jennys

This has been one of my favorite songs for years. Every time I listen to it, I am forced to take a deep breath and focus on what matters most, laying my burdens down.

Lovely Energy Bites

These little spheres of energy are pretty incredible. In fact, I've made 2 batches in one week. They are that good. Best part, you can switch out ingredients to your liking.

Not only are they healthy and easy, but the perfect party item. Add a touch of decadence by dipping them halfway in melted dark chocolate. 

Share your favorite version of these delicious energy bites in the comments!

Lovely Holiday Recap

Since I disappeared into a black hole this holiday season, I thought I should give a tiny photo recap. From Christmas to NYE to Birthday, the days were filled with love and joy. What more can a girl ask for?

     

    

 

Lovely Us & Our Daughters

Let's kick off the new year with a duo I have fallen head over heals for, Us and Our Daughters. The harmonies make me swoon, just like their new music video.

PS: The bro-n-law played on their album. I'm a proud lil sista.

Lovely Pumpkins

Hope everyone had a lovely Halloween weekend! 

Here are a few pics from our pumpkin party {competition} last week, guess which one is mine.

{PS: I got 2nd place. #winning}

Lovely ONA Camera Bag

I have been searching for a camera bag....for a while...a long while...over a year while. 

I am indecisive and picky. There, I said it. 

I know what I like and hate to settle, because I firmly believe the exact item you want exists. 

ONA announced their latest bag, The Venice, and it might be THE one. Just maybe. It's the closest yet. Beautiful camel leather, gold hardware & tons of compartments. I need to get my hands on one of these just so I can examine closer. {Yes, I'm THAT particular about my bags.}

What do you think? Should I start saving up? Worth the splurge?

PS :: How cute does that model look? Makes me want to hang out at a flower shop.

Lovely Anne Marie & Boots

I've known Anne Marie since Kindergarten. So, when she asked me take her engagement photos, I couldn't say yes fast enough. She is definitely one of those friends where you pick up right where you left off, no matter how long since your last chat. In my book, that is the best kind.

Boots {what a cute nickname, right?}, couldn't be a more perfect fit.
Spending the evening with this couple was such a treat!
