  • was going to post this snap yesterday to close out Valentine’s Day weekend 💕 which was amazing with this stud of mine! BUT to be honest #realtalk last night I was feeling frustrated, defeated, and quite upset. why? because a couple house projects did not go as planned and the one I was MOST excited about is no longer happening 😫 as part of the product arrived damaged and the company discontinued the product so no replacements are available. and honestly I just needed to have a little pity party in bed wearing my pajamas, reading a book at 7pm. just a reminder life’s not all instagram cracks it up to be! and also those fun home posts I promised for next week will be one rather than three now BUT I’m determined to find a new, equally as exciting piece for this space and to share it with you ASAP! okay end rant. love y’all 💕 love this man 💕 and love Valentine’s Day 💕 . . . #liketkit @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2KsJV #southernblogger #ncblogger #cltblogger #charlotteblogger #casualstyle #casualfashion #casualootd #casualoutfit #outfitoftheday #aboutalook #fashiondaily #styleoftheday #theeeverygirl #theglitterguide #couplegoals #relationshipgoals #louellareese #everlane #love #mylove #valentinesday pc 📷 tripod love

  • decisions, decisions, decisions. made the toughest decisions and ate the yummiest foods at @tartinery last week during #NYFW - just ask @the.herchronicles & @sunniphotography I was in heaven picking off the #tartinery menu! we ended up with the chopped caesar salad, quinoa bowl, smoked salmon tartine, and nutella tartine - everything was incredible! which of those sounds the best to you? #theparisiantoast #nyc #nycfood #nyceats #louellareesetravels #nycrestaurants pc: @sunniphotography
