Tea Talk: Stability vs. Spontaneity

I'm starting a new series on the blog today with "Tea Talk". My first initial thought was how it sounded kind of like "TED talks" (which I am a huge fan of and utilize in my classroom). Yet, the vibe I was going for was similar to a "coffee talk" when two people bond or discuss life over a cup of joe. Thus, tea talk was born out of the two because I'm aiming to discuss important subjects with you guys under the casual ambiance of "a cup of tea", one of my favorite little things to enjoy. Today's ... View the Post

A Simple Spring Table

Our Spring Table With Bed Bath & Beyond When Brandon and I were registering for kitchen items before the wedding, we kept things pretty simple. Opting for white plates made me feel like I'd have the opportunity to add color in other ways: like napkins, tablecloths, or even salad plates. That being said, we didn't register for a lot of colorful items and as you have probably seen, we love color! Enter Bed Bath & Beyond. I approached them about creating a simple spring table; something ... View the Post

Our Experience At The Flower Vault

All across the city, bloggers from San Antonio are scrambling to have a time at The Flower Vault, an "Instagram Studio" with themed flower rooms.

At the beginning of the week, I went online and reserved our time slot for The Flower Vault. They are only open on the weekends and it functions more like a "pop ... View the Post

Hotel St. Francis

K: Our second hotel that we stayed at during the Santa Fe trip was Hotel St. Francis. We broke up the four nights with two hotels, just to see a different area of town. Hotel St. Francis is located right in the midst of everything downtown, walking distance from all of the major shops and restaurants. Upon arrival, we were stunned at the gorgeous lobby and aesthetic. It felt European and not like traditional Santa Fe at all, which was a cool change from all of the adobe around. Hotel St. ...

Hotel Santa Fe: Our Stay

Our Stay At Hotel Santa Fe K: We returned from Santa Fe, New Mexico last Friday and had such a great trip! Brandon and I are excited to start sharing content and wanted to begin with Hotel Santa Fe because we were SO impressed with this resort style hotel. Honestly, I didn't really know what to anticipate because a friend told me to expect everything to be adobe. While the majority of structures fit this style, it was so unique and different to experience a city primarily made up of adobe ... View the Post

The Perfect Dress For Spring

I have been SO excited to share today's post! Humor me for a second and close your eyes. Think about that perfect dress in your closet: the one that works for a multitude of occasions, fits in all the right places, manages to be feminine yet functional, and makes you feel like you can do anything. I've had a few dresses in my lifetime that have made me feel this way, but I think we can all agree that they are difficult to find. Today I'm partnering with Virginia Dare Dress Company and am so ... View the Post
