Everyone knows the old wedding tradition of something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. This saying originates from an old English rhyme and these four items are added to the bride's wedding outfit to bring her good luck. Something old represents continuity; something new offers optimism for the future; something borrowed symbolizes borrowed happiness; ...
Traveling for business can often be a drag, but if you plan it right you can really utilize your free time time to turn into a fun trip. I recently went to Chicago for business. I was there for a conference, but I wanted to make sure to check off some things on my Chicago bucket list. Hampton Social being at the top of the list of course! It could have been very easy for me to ...
Happy National Watermelon Day! A few posts back I talked about one of this summer's hottest trends which is summer fruits. Nothing says this trend more than this shirt! It encompasses every fruit imaginable! I hope you're day was one in a melon! And I hope you are soaking up the last few days of summer now that is officially August! How are you spending your last few days ...
A wedding cake is one of the most iconic parts of a wedding. Many brides spend hours dreaming of it will look like, going to different tastings, planning the budget for it, etc. For me, this just wasn't that important.

I stumbled across this green top and fell in love. I don't have ...
One of my go to outfits is jeans and a t-shirt. If you don't know by now, I love a good fitted t-shirt. I am very much into casual attire and I believe a t-shirt can still be cute if you style it right. I wear my fair share of dressy blouses, but I feel most comfortable in a good tee. You can dress them up or down which makes them perfect for a date night or a morning at the ...
One of my must have items for my wedding was a monogram veil. I saw a picture on Pinterest and I was inspired to have this at my wedding. Well I am here to tell you, don't believe everything you see on Pinterest. I chose my dress with a low back purposefully, so I could have a monogram on my veil to hit at my shoulder blades. Easy enough right? Wrong! I bought my veil and ...
The cold shoulder trend is the little sister of the off the shoulder trend.

The main thing I ...
