Summer Sandals

Steve Madden // Ivanka Trump (on sale!) // Report (on sale!)

J. Crew // Modcloth // Joie

This time of year I always feel like I need to update my sandal collection! I wear flat sandals ALL summer, and because of my non-existent arch, I need little support so flat sandals are so comfy for me! This season, I'm all about the details. Colorblocking, subtle ombre, and simple metallic thongs are at the top of my wish list. What type of sandals are you most drawn to this year?

We're finally all moved into our new house! I'm utterly exhausted from moving for 4 days straight so I'm still trying to get caught up on rest. We didn't hire a moving company and instead opted to do it on our own with help from friends. We absolutely couldn't have done it without Will, Courtney, and Zach's help! I'm still trying to convince Tyler that with the money we saved from moving ourselves, I should be able to get a massage. :)

My parents came up Saturday evening and we spent the rest of the weekend unpacking and organizing. They were such a huge help! We still have a long way to go but we're just so happy to finally be living in our adorable new place.

Red, Pink, & Valentine's Trivia

Dress: Gap (on sale!) / Necklace: J. Crew / Bag: Gianni Bini (old) / Heels: Ivanka Trump (on sale!) / Bracelets: J. Crew

The beauty of East Tennessee gets me every time we visit. I realize I totally took it for granted that I got to see mountains every day when I lived there, so I have a newfound appreciation for their beauty whenever I walk out the front door of my in-law's home. We visited last weekend and enjoyed time with family, eating at our favorite Mexican restaurant, getting pampered at the hair salon (me), shopping at West Town, and watching the kids happily run free around the farm. Being there always makes me happy, and what better way to show happiness than by wearing bright colors? This dress was comfortable enough for running around Knoxville but still looked put-together with a statement necklace and pumps (however, I did mildly regret wearing them after walking around the mall).

Now for some Valentine's Day trivia! I Got these questions from The Life of a Not So Ordinary Wife and thought they sounded fun! I answered the questions then gave them to Tyler to answer to see how well he knows me. Here are our answers! I have to say, Tyler knows me pretty well :)
