so long sweet summer

I unzipped my boots to get the bugs out & forgot to zip them back up... country girl for life!

The day that bloggers have been talking about since pretty much the end of July is finally here... Fall officially starts this weekend!

But before I pack away the sundresses & pull out the layers, I just want to take a minute to look back on the Summer of 2013.

This was a Summer for celebrating engagements, boat parties, weddings, reunions with friends, cookouts that lasted long into the night, doggie play dates, new friends, saying "good-bye for now" to old friends, wedding planning, flea market scouring, canoeing, Oregon vacations, & commemorating a full 4 years in Nashville. 

If you are looking to celebrate sunny days & warm nights on into a late Indian Summer, you can join me in wearing flower crowns & frolicking (my favorites!)

This gorgeous crown (& the one here) is the fabulous work of my friend who runs the Flower Crown Society. Now you can all scoop up flower crowns at 15% off with code "Jessica15"!

Happy (almost) Fall y'all!

P.S. It is the last day to enter the Bella Fusion giveaway!

a glamping we go

I am blessed to have true girlfriends in my life.

The kind that let me dress them up, top them with flower crowns & drag them out to a mini mint camper in the middle of no-where for a photoshoot on a moment's notice.

But seriously, when the coordinators of The NotWedding asked if a couple of my bridesmaids & I could join them for a glam camping ("glamping") bachelorette photoshoot, I just couldn't say no!

Because honestly, this IS my idea of a good time:

Special thanks to the wonderful people that made this possible!
