Can you believe these are paintings? I love the colors and the way she makes them shine. These would make such a statement piece, blown up on a large living room wall.

I've fallen in love with this little beach house in Brazil.

::crabbing::

Jay and I finally invested in a crab pot. Summers in Virginia Beach are perfect for Chesapeake Bay blue crabs. You'll have to get a local to show you, but there's a whole science to eating these guys. After a day and a half, we already have two crabs. One is a male (the bluer one on the top shelf) and one female (the one with the reddish front craws). We throw females back in the water and hope for more males to climb into the pot.

::plain white tee::

An absolute favorite in my closet is a plain white t-shirt. Although, I've only recently been investing in high quality tees that will last more than a season. Dress it up, dress it down. Crew neck or v-neck. What's better, is finding a nice vintage one that's already worn in and perfectly soft.

::house project // 1::

One of my goals is to complete more house projects. I have a whole Pinterest board of things to make, and I'd like to actually make a few. I put this together in about 10 minutes a couple weekends ago.

I usually find any excuse to make a stop at a thrift store, especially if I'm nearby. On one of these impromptu stops I found this little pot with two holes on each side and knew it would be perfect for a hanging plant. Luckily, I had some extra plants lying around that were perfect for the pot.

I'd like to find a vintage ceiling hook, but that black one was on hand and works for the time being. It's a nice addition to this corner of the kitchen.

So, this is just the beginning of a whole series of house projects.

There's lots + lots to be thankful for.

::welcome back, MRS::

Let's take a moment to wipe off those cobwebs that gathered since...February! 

On June 1st, Jay and I got married in a garden with our family and closest friends. It was a dream. I mean, completely magical and the best day of my life. In order to relive it, I'll be sharing a few images, DIY projects and our wedding trailer here soon!

We were so overwhelmed with love, and so grateful for the people who celebrated with us. My mom played a huge part in making this dream come true, and topped it all off by making the most beautiful dress I'll ever wear. It was so special planning this with her and my little sister/maid of honor.

I love you, Jay. Forever & ever.
