the catbird seat + liam of york.

dress, clutch & cocktail ring: vintage, bracelet, arrows ring & studs: liam of york, stacked rings: house of harlow, scarf: handmade by my aunt, shoes: jeffrey campbell

this outfit was a strategic one. my brother & i headed off to eat at nashville's latest culinary treasure: the catbird seat. it boasts a seven course tasting menu (they even did the entire thing vegetarian for me!) and it was beyond amazing.  i chose this dress because it gave me the freedom to eat whatever i wanted :)

on another note, i was so excited when liam of york set me this amazing jewelry.  their pieces are perfectly crafted and compliment almost any outfit - my personal favorite is the arrows ring!

hope everyone is having a fabulous week!

top & shorts: thompson fifteen, tights: gap, rings: vintage & f21, shoes: bcbg

these are the last set of photos from my thompson fifteen shoot - honestly i wish i could just cover my whole blog in clothes from the site! i think i'm a little obsessed. oh well.

i love these shots because i look a lot like my mom.  both of my parents are in india right now visiting family so i really miss them!  anyways, hope you're all having a fabulous weekend - i went to my first haunted house last night! it was pretty spooooooky.

cut it out.

dress: thompson fifteen, ring: house of harlow, shoes: jeffrey campbell, bracelets & earrings: vintage

a few years ago i probably would have never worn a cut out dress, but the older i get (i'm 24), the more confident i get with my body! that's something i'm proud to say and i think it's important to wear things that make you feel strong & sexy.  this dress was definitely one of those pieces for me - i love the dramatic length and fantastic sides! it's another look from the thompson fifteen shoot and i was so glad the owner of the site, chelsea, brought it for me to wear that day.

btw - what's everyone going to be for halloween? i need some ideas!

thompson fifteen love.

maxi skirt & hooded sweater: thompson fifteen, shoes: jessica simpson, rings: vintage, house of harlow, f21

i had the most amazing time shooting with my bud chelsea from thompson fifteen and photog/hairstylist extraordinaire tamara mccray!  chelsea recently started her amazing online store and i'm slightly obsessed with it. the first thing i thought of when i saw the site was how "blogger friendly" all the clothes are. seriously, you all need to go visit!!

on another note...things have been crazy recently, but i'm glad everything has started to slow down a little. i want to take more time to mosey around and enjoy fall :)

nD fashion show.

i had such an amazing time working backstage at the nD fashion show last week!  it was a crazy day, but we were really happy with the results and my friend tabitha even came out and took a few behind the scenes shots:

jamie and the jones, bodkin, and steven alan showed their gorgeous collections and local filmmakers presented short films to go along with each one (the films are breathtaking!):

                

hope you all had a fabulous weekend!

sleeveless + nD opening party.

necklaces & bracelet: sleeveless, faux fur vest: zara, blouse: bcbg max azria, jeans: mizzae, ring: f21, shoes: jessica simpson

i had so much fun at the nD festival this past week and was dripping in sleeveless jewelry at the opening party! my friend kyah designs this seriously gorgeous line and i was beyond excited when i laid my eyes on their latest collection.  the dark reds, gorgeous greens, and nudes just scream fall!

the opening party was fantastic and there were some amazing local vendors like abby plachy from prairie go round and otis james (seriously, this man makes me want to wear a tie or bow tie everyday!):

i'll cover the nD fashion show in my next post..stay tuned :)

nashville lifestyles feature!

i was so excited to be featured as one of nashville's 25 most beautiful people in nashville lifestyles magazine.  i must say it is slightly awkward posting this, but my parents would kill me if they couldn't show off this post to all of their friends!  anyways, i'm beyond flattered and thought i'd share the clipping with you:

the shot they used was my favorite, but here are a couple outtakes (i shot these photos a few weeks ago before i changed my hair color):

whenever i wear my hair pulled back like this, i always get a lot of questions about the products i use to achieve this look.  my hair is really curly naturally, so to straighten it out i use this hana flat iron. it's seriously the best flat iron ever and the only products i use are moroccan oil and a whole lot of hair spray :)

hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
