Insta fun!

What my life has consisted of the past few weeks!

Be mine, Valentine.

Clearly it's been a while since my last post on here...there may in fact actually be cobwebs on my keyboard! Haha! Needless to say..I think I'm well over due for an update! Since my last post..I started a new job working at a boutique called Petal where I do a little bit of modeling and help out with the website/social media. So far I've loved the switch from what I was previously doing, I work with an incredible group of girls, my boss is a total bad ass, I've learned SO much and had a ton of fun while doing so! When I'm not working, I'm usually babysitting, spending time with friends and family..and of course, shopping! Speaking of shopping..I cannot get over all of the pretty pink and red overflowing off the shelves of practically every store right now! Valentine's day is one of my favorite holidays not only because it involves everything I love (hearts, candy, the color pink, oh and let's not forget CUPCAKES), but it's also the perfect excuse to show the important people in your life just how much you love and appreciate them! In the past year I've had so many incredible people enter my life and I feel so blessed and fortunate to have such a great group of friends and strong family to call my own. One person in particular who has had a rough year to say the least..is my Mom. She is such a beautiful, selfless, loving woman and I couldn't ask for someone more incredible to have as a role model and best friend. I love her so much and plan on making her day tomorrow a special one! With Valentine's day just one day away..I figured I'd start my comeback with a fun, love inspired fashion post to get everyone in a lovey mood for tomorrow! Granted..this photo shoot took place around Christmas time for Petal's "Christmas Dreaming" Look Book...but with pretty clothes, a cute boy, and lots of pink..I figured it would be perfect for V-day!

For this shoot I had the pleasure of working with one of the most stylish dudes I have ever met..EVER!! Luke Yerrick, a stylist at Gap SouthPark! Can you believe he provided all of the clothes he was wearing..straight from his own closet?! Ridiculous..I know! Anyway..besides being incredibly stylish and ridiculously good looking, he also has all of the personality to back it up! This dude is blowing up around Charlotte, so be on the look out! (He was also featured on one of my favorite blogs: The Queen City Style with the beautiful Whitley Hamlin.) Keep an eye out for him! :)
Everything I'm wearing is from Petal! PS: that gorgeous sequin jacket is now on sale!!!
