Happy Friday! I'm nearing the end of my visit to Northern Virgina and really starting to crave the routine and community that we left behind in Alabama for the week. As always, I have so enjoyed my time with family but it's always nice to go home again. Since I'll be stuck on the road for 12 hours this weekend I'm planning to use the time for some serious brainstorming and day dreaming!

Here's what I loved this (vacation) week:

Did you miss yesterday's recap of the Anthropologie Fall Fashion Show? Check it out!

a simple evening with The Fresh Exchange
& call me crazy but Hilary Duff's new music video is pretty damn good... major hairspiration

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

Happy Friday friends! This week was both awesome and terrible at the same time... you win some, you lose some. With the new site launching on Monday (I still can't stop staring at it!) and the first two looks of our Anthropologie editorial finally ready for publishing, it was pretty exciting week for this little blog. At home however, I've been battling the flu. Fifteen hours of sleep per day might sound decadent but I can assure you I'm bored out of my mind and totally ready to kick this bug in the you-know-what!

In between Nyquil doses I managed to get a little light reading in:
