Today I'm appearing on my good friend Sara's blog, A Dose of Pretty. When Sara approached me to participate in her "Mommies Behind the Blog" series I was flattered. A longtime fan of the feature, I've taken so much inspiration and reassurance from other creative mommas and their unique stories. Whats more, the post finally gave me an excuse to play dress up in a giant dreamy cotton field (be still my styling heart!) with Lorelai. It's such a blessing to capture Lo as she is during this fun and special age of three!

A huge thank you to Sara for having me on her truly beautiful site! To read about motherhood, life and the future of Chelsea & The City, please check out the interview here.

Happy Friday friends! Do you ever have weeks that just couldn't have been better? Our return to Huntsville was a happy one and I spent the adjustment period (still working on getting back into our daily routine after two weeks away) creating floral crowns & pretty pictures, road tripping with the girls to Nashville and in meetings for a few seriously exciting projects. We even woke up bright and early today and are off to the pumpkin patch. I can't wait to share what has been bubbling up behind the scenes of Chelsea & The City! In the meantime, here's what I've loved this week:

a gorgeous rooftop dinner with Elizabeth Cauvel and Dan Wu
Free People presents: A Letter
the simplest and most stunning editorial for White Magazine
Ariele Alasko's beautiful home and cool woodworking via Boots & Pine
& a quirky new band I'm crazy about

Aissa, Ginny and I have been publishing our "Explore" series every Thursday lately (see past locations here) and I've grown to really love every single spot we've been able to share. While our little team is away visiting a few more amazing Nashville haunts, feel free to take a peek behind the scenes via Instagram.

Don't forget to follow @aislerchic to see things from Aissa's lens as well!
