healthy living with a stylish touch
This is my fourth year doing a gift guide and it’s always one of my favorite posts. You know…getting to spend hours online shopping for cool things I would love and think you would too! The last two years I focused on gift guides for girlfriends, sisters and the other important women in our lives. This year I wanted to hone it just a bit more and cater to the girl who loves fitness. Not just getting her workout in,…
If you’ve read my travel posts you know I’m enamored with all things Parisian. This includes my Delsey luggage. So since I use their cases whenever I travel I was more than happy to tell you about their incredibly chic giveaway. Delsey wants you to experience, first-hand, the French style and sophistication that goes into each of their collections.

If you have read my posts about Charlotte (top shopping spots and #DesignCharlotte) you know I’m in love with this city and all it has to offer. Whenever I have dinner with my girlfriends or a date night with Geoff we head to Center City because of their strong food scene.

I’m loving the lean, cropped trend. Get the granny chic pair here and the black pair here. Oh and H&M’s Studio collection launched last week and I want to wear it all. 2). Molly Packs – These bags are such high…
Things you must do when flying alone with your child. My two year old son, Camden, and I are currently in Michigan visiting my mom and dad. Because we don’t have family where we live in Charlotte I’ve been flying with Camden by myself since he was five months old. He’s flown domestic and international. Some trips have been fine. Others have been anxiety-ridden…filled with screaming fits and entire bags of food dumped in the aisle. Each time we travel…
I just returned from a vacation at an all-inclusive resort in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, 45 minutes outside of Cancun. We were with Geoff’s family celebrating our yearly reunion and our matriarch, Jane Owen’s, 89th birthday. Aside from the gorgeous blue water, white sand, tropical vegetation and heat, one thing really stood out…the endless amount of delicious food and alcohol. There were over 9 restaurants on the resort with 4 of them being all-you-can-eat buffets. One was almost always open…
