About

Welcome, friends!

I’m a passionate, silly, and sassy Austinite who made the move to Chicago for my first big girl job in advertising last summer. Since writing and photography have always been two loves of mine, I finally decided to start this little ol’ blog about a year and a half ago as a creative outlet to pursue them more.

This year, I’m hoping to really grow this space as I navigate the wonderful and populated waters of the blogging world. I like to dabble in posting about a variety of things, including travels, delicious eats, fashion, rambling thoughts, being crafty, things I find funny…the list goes on.

I recently graduated from The University of Texas last May, hook ’em! I got engaged to my best friend, Eric, in Paris over the summer when I visited Europe for the first time. The rest of my family and my sweet pup are back in the Lonestar State. Between settling into *almost* six months in ChiTown, figuring out how to plan a wedding, and pursuing a couple personal goals for 2016 there are lots of exciting things going on.

Some more tidbits about me – I pride myself in having a glass half full perspective on life and being a lover of adventure. Jesus is my rock. With a band junkie dad and growing up around a concert venue, music truly is a central part of my life. I think football season is the greatest and am always so sad when it’s over. I like chatting with my mom over red wine and watching Grey’s Anatomy with my sister, Annika. A night out dancing? Yes, please. I am obsessed with traveling, books, breakfast, and boots.

Give me Mexican food, surround me with dogs, or make me laugh until I cry and you’re on the way to my heart. Life goals include traveling the world and improving my cooking skills.
