But only if they get along with my girl Lexi here.
Glad we could work that out.

This time of year is so fun. I love coming home each day to a big stack of catalogs with all the new fall things in them! (now if only the clothing items themselves would show up unsolicited…)
Here are some of the items I’m keeping my eye on.
1. A big tote. This one from Moop has pockets inside so I couldn’t lose my phone at the bottom, but it’s still big enough to lug my ...

Even if you’ve never heard of photographer Michael Waring, you’ve most likely seen his work.

In fact, the above photo and the next one have been in my inspiration binder for quite some time.
I love that he can capture the beauty of the clothes, whether the mood of the photo is moody, mysterious or ...
