February Mood '20

To make living itself an art…

I can’t believe it’s already February! Warmer weather couldn’t come sooner. We’ve been having slightly above average temperatures here in Philadelphia, giving me a little dose of Vitamin D that I need. This is one of my favorite times of year in Charleston, so I’m a little sad to be missing it. It has been nice to be home with my family for the holidays. There’s so much to look forward to…

ON MY CALENDAR

Off to New York with my mom and sister to say yes to the dress! My first mini trip of the year and I’m beyond excited. We have quite a few shops on our list and I have a feeling we’ll find the one. This is the fun part of wedding planning, haha. After dress shopping, I plan to have dinner at Via Carota, which has been on my list for ages! If you have any other New York restaurant recommendations, let me know. I’m hoping the weather stays mild so we can walk around the city comfortably. Other than New York, it’s been really nice to lay low this month. E and I like to keep Valentine’s Day pretty low key and I find there’s truly nothing more romantic that cooking dinner together at home. (Especially when wine and pasta are involved.)

INSPIRED BY

We’re starting to plan our mini-moon and I’ve been immersed in warm-weather inspiration! Our wedding is in August, so it’ll be pretty warm across the country. If you’re not familiar with a mini-moon (I wasn’t until this year), it’s a shorter trip that requires a lot less planning and stress than a full blown honeymoon. As our wedding is truly a trip in itself, this gives us more time to plan an epic honeymoon for later in the year or next summer. Hello, Italy! For now, I’ll just curl up next to my space heater and pretend I’m on the Amalfi coast. Winter, we are done here.

A SPRING SOUNDTRACK

I started a spring playlist with the songs that make me feel like sunshine. Take a listen here! Hope you enjoy xx
