There's something so intimate and beautiful about capturing life not only in all of its styled splendor but also in the moments of rest. Lounging around and listening to records are my favorite ways to recharge!

Lately I'm sorely lacking in precious relaxation time and I'm soaking up each and every musical moment. When the day starts to slow and the last few beams of light trickle into our windows you can often find me stealing away in a pair of over the knee socks to indulge in a guilty pleasure song or two (Fleetwood Mac y'all, it's an obsession).

p.s. I was sent products for review by No Nonsense, however, all opinions and words are my own. It is my policy to only select goods and companies that I truly believe in and wish to share with you. Thank you for supporting the brands that make Chelsea & The City possible.

Back in January I took on an incredible project that proved to be such a wonderful blessing. Alongside Sleepy Fox & White Rabbit Photography, I co-hosted the HiFi Weddings Fest and fell in love with bridal gowns and nuptials of all kinds. I labored over feather headdresses, hustled hard to collect vintage rugs and spent months enraptured with lace dresses. In the end I came out with new friendships and a ton of sweet memories.

I am so happy that Sleepy Fox Photography was able to capture the fashion show that I toiled away at and steal each girl for a quick portrait session in their Daughters of Simone finest. Every model was so stunning and I had a blast styling and sending them down the runway. As I near my own wedding dress adventure (I have my first bridal appointment on the 25th!) I'm happy to pour over these details once more...

A huge thank you to ALL of our gorgeous models!

Whew, I'm exhausted! I've been working on a ton of amazing projects lately and I'm starting to experience a bit of creative burnout. With client weddings, photo shoots and plans for our own September nuptials swirling in my brain I've hardly had any time to create things worthy of this space. I hope you'll check out these behind-the-scenes videos I put together while I sneak away and work on getting re-inspired to blog. See you soon!
