Shower #2

A few weeks ago, Reed and I had our second wedding shower! It was nice having him with me at this one, especially since I was sick that day. Wedding showers are truly humbling...the generosity of family and friends continues to amaze us! Enjoy these photos - we love sharing our journey with you! 

Reed truly is so supportive of me in every way! 

I loved the adorable decor! 

How awesome is this wrapping?! The lovely Kristy Starling, my bandmate & soon-to-be cousin, is one of the most creative people I know! 

My sweet friend and bridesmaid, Lindsay, got me a cute personalized apron! I sure do love the sound of "Mrs. Ewing" :) 

My mom got us matching rocking chairs from Cracker Barrel to put on the porch of our new house! The true gift though was the beautiful poem she wrote to accompany this memorable gift! 

I love my mom. 

My supportive friends/bridesmaids! I love them to pieces! 

23 days :)

Mint is so high on my color radar it's not even funny. I can spot it a mile away. Not. Kidding. People are starting to make fun of me it's so bad. Now, a lot of it has to do with the fact that it's one of my wedding colors. Even before that, though, I was pretty obsessed with this color. It's just so pretty and fresh - makes me think of spring and summer, my favorite times of the year!

A few notes for spring/summer...

• Having a fitted blazer in a fresh spring color (mint, coral, yellow, kelly green, etc.) can instantly update your spring/summer wardrobe! You can style a blazer so many different ways -- casual (with jeans and a tee), feminine (over a sundress), or dressy (with shorts and a blouse), just to name a few! 

• A striped tee is a wardrobe must! Stripes are never out of style. Having a few striped tees in neutral combos (cream/white stripe, gray/white stripe, navy/white stipe) will create tons of layering options with cardigans, blazers, etc. See this look for another way I've styled the striped tee from above.

• Wedges are the go-to heel for spring/summer! In the comfort comparison, wedges definitely win over heels. I'm quite picky, however, when it comes to shopping for wedges. So many styles are very chunky looking, so I flipped when I finally found the pair above - I love the contrast of the leather straps with the canvas fabric. I'm already dreading the fact that I'll probably have to trash these wedges by the end of summer from wearing them so much. 

I hope you all had a lovely Easter Sunday yesterday! Thanks for stopping by! 

Fashion Show Fun

Here are some photos from the Beautiful Dream Society Traffic Jam Fashion Show I mentioned earlier this month! The night was filled with fabulous clothes, wonderful friends, inspirational speakers, and motivating passion to continue the fight again human trafficking! I strongly encourage you to visit www.beautifuldream.tv to learn more about the amazing cause this fashion show was supporting! 

I'm so thankful to have my amazing fiancé by my side for events like these! Seriously, how HANDSOME is he?

These guys had some serious style/swag! 

My co-perfomer Tremaine and I were on stage for our performance while the models walked around us!
I was nervous to bump into someone, but the performance went off without a glitch!

We performed the song "Twenty-Seven Million" by Matt Redman.

My amazing bandmates! Check out www.warracres.tv to learn more about our music! 

This woman is my hero. She inspires me. She believes in me. Jennifer Crow is truly one of a kind!
She's the founder of the Beautiful Dream Society, and it's always an honor to partner with her.
Oh, and she's GORGEOUS. 

I'm already looking forward to next year's fashion show! Thanks for stopping by!
