{reuse + upcyle} 🙌🏻 #ad it's no surprise I always have fresh blooms in the house, but any guesses on where this vase came from?! Friends, it's a @YankeeCandle jar {sans candle wax of course}. 😱🤯Who knew?! #YankeeCandle designs their easy-peel labels to encourage upcycling their jars + can be used for all kinds of things: flower arrangements, pencil/pens, planter, etc. #YCAmbassador

{last night in #SeaIsland} 🌴 wore this new #LoveShackFancyXTarget frock as we headed over to The Lodge for dinner yesterday evening 🤍Talk about a stunning scene, straight from and English countryside playbook. The manor, the wood paneled dining room, the cocktails, the live music 🎶 Gave me all the feels, and exactly what I needed for a mini getaway 🌿 Sadly this DARLING sea shell handbag c/o @willowparkboutique is sold out 😭 they were so gracious in gifting it, and I’m bummed this is the first opportunity I’ve had to wear it! But definitely check out their well curated online boutique for some beautiful pieces; and I’ve linked a similar shoppable bag in the meantime 🐚 http://liketk.it/2QTxv #liketkit @liketoknow.it

{we are ALL worthy} 🖤🤍🤎 I, like so many, have struggled w. how to articulate my thoughts these past few days. It’s not perfect, but it’s from the heart. So much sadness, so much pain. It’s heartbreaking on so many levels. This platform is a privilege + while I generally use it to share beautiful tid bits of life, I choose to not be silent any longer. This is not about party lines, it’s about human beings. I’m ashamed to admit it’s taken watching a video of a black man being murdered to stir up such conviction. While I was raised in a loving, God fearing household that instilled ‘love your neighbor’ and ‘all men are created equal’ {values I believe whole heartedly}, race was never a discussion. Not because oppression didn’t exist, but because it didn’t apply to ‘us’. We couldn’t relate, so it wasn’t our fight to fight or place to have an opinion. I am not racist, but I’ve also never actively been anti-racist. And I realize that’s part of the problem.⁣

These past few days I’ve challenged myself to get uncomfortable. To acknowledge my white privilege. To DO the research + educate myself {currently half way through the audio version of So You Want To Talk About Race by @ijeomaoluo - highly recommend as a starting point. And have loved following @latashamorrison + her faith based organization @beabridgebuilder to learn how I can contribute further}. To take a look at my heart. To ask myself what am I believing and how can I unlearn. To have more understanding + compassion. To be an ally, because while it’s true #AllLivesMatter, that’s not what we’re talking about. My life {and the lives of people that look like me} aren’t being threatened by racial profiling on a daily basis. I see you + I will stand w. you. I will DO better. #BlackLivesMatter ⁣🎨 by @cestriley || 📝 by @cleowade ⁣
