Okay ladies, it’s the moment we have been saving on our Pinterest accounts for the past 10 years – trying on wedding dresses. I seriously was so excited to find my dress that I passed BHLDN a couple days after getting engaged and went in by myself to try on 3 dresses. This was probably…
Our Engagement Photos
David and I fell in love with the Lake Michigan Coast while David was working at Whirlpool in St. Joseph, Michigan. Being honest here, how could you not? The water, the dunes, the woods, the wineries? It’s a midwestern dream. We spent many days swimming in the lake, hiking the trails along the dunes and…
Piso Majado, Punta Cana

My Side Hustle with Team Outdoor Voices Living in the city can be crazy (and expensive). I work full-time at an Ad Agency downtown Monday through Friday. I also try to find time to go to the gym, spend time with friends and my fiance, grocery shop, meal prep, and somehow find time to do…
Three Days in San Francisco
This summer, David and I were lucky enough to plan a few trips around his convention schedule. When San Francisco was one of the options, we thought it would be a great reason to visit a new city. Now, I would never consider myself a fashion blogger, but if there is one piece of advice…
