I absolutely love everything about this collection! It's so dreamy and I would wear everything if I had the opportunity. I honestly have never seen a runway show as impressive as this. The gold leaf belts wrapping around the pieces, fine intricate lace details, flowing organza fabric... This is my favorite collection at the moment. This brings me back to why I love fashion- pieces that are true works of art and make me so excited.

"A treasure house of enchantment, the collection is a cornucopia of camellias, roses, sweetbriar, peonies, gentian and laurel with, here and there, a lithe touch of the feline and the caress of heavenly plummage." -Zuhair Murad.

The snow here in Charlotte seems to never end! I have to say it's so beautiful to photograph. These are a few photos I took yesterday of my soon to be nephew, Graham. He's so adorable in the snow, especially with his rosey red cheeks. Even though the snow is very wonderful and relaxing I hope it clears up soon so my sisters can come into town this weekend. Happy Snow Day!

Happy Birthday, Ellery!

Happy 22nd Birthday to our beautiful (inside and out) sister, Ellery! She is one of the most giving, loving, selfless people we know. She would do anything for her family and friends. She gives the best advice and always keeps a positive mind. Her bold faith is so inspiring. We have all grown in faith together and her never ending love is just awesome. Her creativity and talent with art is incredible. I honestly have never seen someone who can draw, paint, design, and create as well as her. I don't think we could have been blessed with a better sister. She means the world to us and we're so happy to have her here by our sides. We hope that this year will bring you more happiness than the last and we're so excited to watch you grow with everything that is happening in your life.

We love you, Elle!
