The Perfect Country Chic Spring Outfit
This spring, I have been wearing this perfectly curated (in my humble opinion…) ensemble that seamlessly blends classic elegance with Virginia's rustic charm. Crafted from quality fabrics by impeccable British brands, this outfit exudes sophistication and timeless appeal. Here, I’ve paired a waxed field coat from a heritage brand with a flowy, pleated midi skirt for a harmonious fusion of refined style and feminine allure, capturing the essence of classic Virginian country fashion. I’ve completed the look with leather boots and a fun baseball cap for a touch of practicality and polish, epitomizing the perfect balance between country charm and chic sophistication.

Cold Weather Skincare Essentials
The temperatures have rapidly dropped here in hunt country and the heating and fireplace are working overtime to keep us warm inside. But, if you’re like me, these changes mean that your skin is probably feeling tight, dry, and maybe even flaky. Despite how much water and tea I consume on a daily basis, my skin refuses to stay hydrated without the assistance of my cold weather skincare essentials.
Spotlight | The Loxley Mini from Fairfax and Favor
If you’re a regular reader or you follow me on Instagram, chances are you’ve spotted a new bag in my collection. I recently purchased The Loxley Mini from one of my favorite brands, Fairfax and Favor, in the High Shine Navy Croc color. Although the navy color is a bit outside of my regular go-to handbag colors of tan and black, it has turned out to be a perfect addition to my wardrobe for this fall and winter, adding just the right amount of color to my normally neutral outfits.
Crafted with impeccable attention to detail, the quality of this handbag is unparalleled. The luxurious leather is supple to the touch, ensuring durability for years to come. The meticulous stitching and flawless finishes showcase the brand's commitment to excellence. Whether you're heading to a hunt meet or a weekend in the countryside, the Loxley Mini handbag is the perfect companion to complete your classic look, offering both style and functionality in one elegant package.
A Wardrobe Staple for Spring
Happy Friday, everyone! Spring is upon us and I’m fully embracing lighter colored dresses, flowy fabrics, and fun prints! I recently had the opportunity to shoot this fabulous dress with Savana Ashley Photography at The Red Fox Inn & Tavern (did you know this was our wedding venue?) in Middleburg, Virginia. Although this dress is from a previous season, it’s a classic look that you can absolutely incorporate into your own wardrobe. This look can be dressed up or down (swap out the heels for a pair of cute flats or sandals), and you could change out the black accessories for a pop of color if you’re feeling extra fun! Regardless, I think adding a cute black and white polka dot (or dalmatian) print dress to your wardrobe for spring is essential.
Hello, Spring!
Today marks the first day of spring! Can you feel my excitement for the sunnier days and warmer weather? My hydrangeas and roses are beginning to bud, the daffodils are out, and my seasonal allergies are back… spring is here! In addition to vlogging this past weekend (check out my latest vlog here), I caught up on quite a bit of spring cleaning, I cleared out my wardrobe and replaced my wool coats with lovely floral print dresses, and have started tending to my plants for the season.

Hello everyone! Spring is quickly approaching and I have been busier than ever! Between my 9-5 job, Instagram, and YouTube, I am realizing that it’s been a little silent over here on the blog for a few weeks. I figured a quick update was in order.
