Bryce & Laura
Are you tired of me talking about Valentine's Day yet?
Well bare with me for one more post because I have to share this cute couple with you!
(Remember this preview?)
Meet Bryce and Laura.
As you can see, they're cuties.
We collaborated on the idea of a Valentine's Day photoshoot and they came up with the idea of a picnic in the park with one of their favorite meals: McDonald's chicken nuggets and french fries.
Pretty cute if you ask me.
Being friends of theirs I of course had fun doing this with them, but it was also so adorable to watch the way they interacted with each other. When Bryce got out his guitar and started playing Laura a song he wrote for her I might have melted a little bit inside.
Just a little bit.
Enjoy, and leave a comment about which picture is your favorite!

Be Mine
Today I am sharing a recent photoshoot my boyfriend and I were a part of.
It was Valentine's Day themed (of course) and, despite the cold, we had a lot of fun with it. Our friend Maria is so very talented (check out her new site and give her some love!) and did such a wonderful job on the video and photos she took of us!
I couldn't love them more.

I'm also a little bit in love with the song she chose for the video.
I think it fits just perfectly.

Today I am sharing a sneak peek at a Valentine's photoshoot I did today!
Stay tuned for more soon.

Well I'm home from NYC and the IFB Conference!
It was a great few days and I have so much to share with you all.
But I have quite a few things to catch up on so until I can post photos and such, here are some instagrams from the trip to tide you over...
Also, I am excited to be featured over on Sherri's blog today! Go check it out.
IFB
I was hoping to post this a bit sooner but it kept slipping my mind...
I wanted to announce that I am headed off to the Independent Fashion Bloggers Conference in New York City today!
I am very excited, it will be my first time attending and I am, of course, thrilled to have an excuse to visit one of my favorite cities again so soon.
I plan on taking lots of pictures (would you expect anything less?) so be sure to check back!

Are you going to the IFB Conference?
Have you been before?
Do share!
NYC: Part 2
Here are the rest of the pictures from my most recent New York City trip!
See part one here.
Our second day of site seeing included visiting the Statue of Liberty, which was a first and on my bucket list of course so it was very neat seeing Miss Lady Liberty.
We also saw Phantom of the Opera on Broadway the next day, which was my second time seeing it. I still loved it just as much as the first time! I get goose bumps every time the chandelier lights up during that first scene and those famous notes written by Andrew Lloyd Webber fill up the room.
Those are pretty much the only touristy sight seeing things we did. The remainder of the trip we shopped and ate lots of yummy food (which I did not take nearly enough pictures of).
And on the way home I got to ride on a train! Which I also had never done.
Crossing that off the 20 List.
It was a great trip and I can't wait to go back again!
New York, it's always a pleasure.
NYC: Part 1
Today I am posting, very belatedly, some photos from my most recent trip to New York City.
I previously shared one of my favorite parts of this past trip, but here are some more for those of you who are interested!
I went shortly before Christmas to enjoy all the New York City Christmas splendor. However,
while it was quite festive, it just didn't feel like Christmas to me. It was as if time had frozen and Christmas was waiting for us back in Richmond. I guess there's just no place like home during the holidays.
Anyway, during our stay we ate at L'asso's which was quite literally the best pizza I had ever eaten. In my life. So go there if you are ever in the area! They make the pizza right in front of you and you can watch it bake in the brick oven.
We also went to the top of the Empire State Building later in the day. I had only ever been to the top of the Rockefeller Center before, at night, so it was fun seeing things from the other side of the city during the day.
However I never need to go again. Too many people and lines. It took forever.
And then of course seeing all the window displays for the holiday season was spectacular. So elaborate and fancy.
The night ended with the tree at the Rockefeller center. Which did not disappoint. Very big and very beautiful. I couldn't help but wonder how long it took them to string all those lights on. Not a branch was uncovered...
And do you see that scarf I'm wearing in the latter half of the pictures?
Yea, I knit that while walking the streets of New York City.
Betcha never done that before!
