Good Tuesday morning! If you are looking for something perfectly preppy for your beau, your pops or your brother, allow me to introduce Starboard Clothing Co.  They manufacture adorable handmade bow ties in Annapolis, MD.  The owner Ben Meredith contacted me personally and he founded Starboard late last year after making bow ties for himself to wear when he became an attorney.


Visit Starboard's website and check out Bowties & Boatshoes, a separate blog all about prepster style, co-authored by Starboard owner, Ben Meredith.

After successfully navigating the name-changing waters, I can officially introduce you to my new monogram! (Thanks to momma for the new bag and the first with my new initials!)

Today Stella is the featured furbaby on Elizabeth Anne Designs Furbaby Friday! She is so thrilled to be making her debut on the greater interwebs and with her new found fame has become even more high maintenence in just the past few hours if that's possible (just kidding).

Our wedding menu was one of my favorite things to plan for and enjoy on our special day.  It was southern comfort food at its best and I was lucky enough to find a caterer who was willing to think a little outside the box.  We had hors d'œuvres during cocktail hour and three stations throughout the venue for dinner.  An Arnold Palmer w/ sweet tea vodka in a mason jar was a our signature drink.


The appetizers included fried macaroni and cheese balls, vidalia onion dip, hamburger sliders and a popcorn bar with toppings!


The stations were bbq pork sliders with cole slaw and sweet potatoes, shrimp and grits with hush puppies, bourbon chicken with collard greens and fried green tomatoes


I don't have our wedding photos back yet but here's an assortment from google images of what some of our fare looked like.

After the wedding, LAS and I skipped on down to the FL Keys for a little R&R. We stayed at a great resort, went snorkeling and went sightseeing in Key West.  Here are some of our favorite photos from our trip:

Two nights before the wedding, we had an amazing old fashioned slumber party to celebrate my bachelorette-ness! We indulged in mexican food, ate cupcakes, decorated cookies, watched movies and spent hours in the photo booth.  It was such a perfect way to spend one of my last single girl nights with my BFFs.

Hello sweet readers!  Boy am I happy to be back on the grid!  Of course if you follow me on twitter you know I haven't been totally MIA, but it's been far too long since a new post graced these pages.

I am a married lady and I LOVE it! Despite the hectic nature of moving and name changing and life changing and work being insane, being married is wonderful and my husband is divine.

The wedding was AMAZEBALLS (is that an appropriate way to describe one's wedding?)! It was so much fun and everything we hoped it would be and more.  Here's a preview from our fabulous photographers, Studio 222 Photography.  I can't wait to share more pictures with you when they're ready!







I have so many other great photos to share:  the bachelorette party, the honeymoon and our little beach bungalow.

I won't inundate you with all the fun in one post.  I'll take a couple of days to re-cap and I hope you're looking forward to it as much as I am!

Until tomorrow friends...
