Happy Friday friends! This past week was incredible (and incredibly busy). The first few days were spent prepping for the most amazing wedding shoot for Daughters of Simone (more on that later), celebrating Friendsgiving with our Monday Night crew and surprising Sleepy Fox Photography with a fun birthday picnic. Yesterday I ventured to the most gorgeous 1890's farmhouse for one of the bridal fashion shoots we've been planning for months and I couldn't be more creatively satisfied or exhausted! I'm not entirely out of the woods yet (I've got plans to create a HUGE wall weaving this weekend, a visit from my sister, Thanksgiving and the second bridal shoot next week) but I can almost see a little rest on the horizon. Even though it's all a blur of holiday madness, engagement excitement and career changes right now, I am so thankful for all of the ways that my life has changed this year!

Here's what I enjoyed reading this week:

a stunning gathering for Sunday Suppers by Wit + Delight
Solange Knowles' beautiful wedding portraits via Vogue
three Thanksgiving tablescapes by Smitten Studio
a cool career profile of Madewell's Alex Yeske
the classiest Southern holiday (and hostess tips) from Hanna Seabrook
& the cutest coffee art
 

Happy Friday guys... In short, this week was freaking awesome! I took part in a couple of pretty amazing meetings with incredibly talented friends and cannot wait to share even more exciting news for Chelsea & The City.

If you follow me on social media (Instagram, Twitter & Facebook) then you already know about a little secret I've been hiding away for the right moment. I'm honored to appear in No'Ala Magazine's September issue as one of Huntsville's most stylish. Stay tuned for outtakes and my full interview on Monday!

In the meantime, here's what I loved this week:

farm to table to studio with Gregg Moore
Kate Arrends on her Target collaboration and social media presence
Daphne Javitch get's sporty with J.Crew
inside the studio with Ax+Apple
& the most delicious peach galette by Beth Kirby

I always have the most fun soaking up a little Insta-inspiration first thing in the morning. My favorite social media addiction outlet is filled to the brim with snapshots of the perfect cup of coffee, to die for #ootds and drool-worthy destinations. I'm constantly looking for a few fabulous 'grammers to add to my ever-growing feed so I thought I'd share 8 accounts you need to be following now!
