It's the Kentucky Fair, Y'all!

Louisville does many things great, but the fair has to be one of them! It's the largest fair I have ever seen! We recently enjoyed our fair share of carnival rides, fried girl scout cookies, and $8 sodas.

I LOVE double dates! 

Just enough tickets for a Ferris wheel ride.

The sun was setting and the lighting was perfect! The creative director in me wanted to line everyone up and start snapping photos, but I held back and enjoyed the evening like a normal human, haha.

The Ferris wheel is something I hadnt experienced in years, and I had forgotten how high it went. As a kid it was my favorite part of the fair, but this time I was so nervous and thought I was going to be sick! 

D and I have decided to stay in Louisville for one more year, and we look forward to visiting the fair again next year! Next time, we'll totally check out the donut burger!

Before I die.

Yesterday, Derich and I decided to do some exploring around Louisville. We found delicious tacos, gorgeous antique stores, but what really caught my attention was the Before I die wall in the NuLu district. We walked up to this wall, grabbed a piece of chalk, and filled in the blank. 

After a few minutes of reading the responses on the wall, my perspective changed completely. I had written down what I wanted to do before I died, but looking at what was important to other people really moved me. How often did I think of what life was like to the person in front of me in line? Almost never. 

 I get so caught up in what kind of world I want to live in, that I forget the world that I actually live in. Seeing this wall helped remind me that we're all sharing the world. There's room for all of our dreams! If we take a minute to get out of our head and into someone else's heart, I have confidence that this world is going to be just fine.

Until next time darlings.

My very own Dream Team!

Every now and again, you find the perfect shade of lipstick or those skinny jeans you can't imagine living without. I'm thankful enough to have all the above, as well as the most amazing dream team!

Shanna McAfee and I met several years ago in a mall in a small city called, Jensen Beach. I was 17 and a barista at Starbucks, and she was a few years older and the manager of a clothing store. Every single morning she ordered an iced venti soy mocha-with 2 sweet and low- and we briefly chatted while I served her the usual beverage. It's amazing to think that after three life-changing-moves, a wedding and several years later, she's not only my mentor, but my best friend.

Jamie Graham and I met in passing or in multiple groups of friends for years. The town we grew up in was very small, so we always knew of the other. When I moved home from Nashville, she took me out for a drink for my birthday and we have been inseparable since! With a love for fashion, food, and puppies; we're 100% heterosexual life partners. Even after moving 2,100 miles away, she is still my biggest supporter and best friend.


SO NOW YOU'VE GOT THE BACK STORY....

Let me show you the fruit of our friendship!

                                                                                      

More photos, collaborations and adventures to come!

My store opens tomorrow night (08-09-13) at 11pm! Be the first to check out all my goodies... including this stunning black dress!

Stay tuned darlings!
