As I mentioned before here, I had the opportunity to travel up north to Napa Valley with my team and the hubs. Napa Valley is so beautiful and reminds me so much of home. Even though I go back often, I was still struck with nostalgia as we drove through the scenic fields. I found myself constantly saying to Allen, “Doesn’t this look like Danville?” “Danville looks like this!”
As much as I like the hustle and bustle of big cities, I love the feeling of small towns. I’ll never forget that I grew up in a town where horses were within walking distance and trees were big enough to hold a backyard swing. It’s so strange coming home now because I feel such an incredible sense of growth. Back then, I was the girl who grew up with nothing but her dreams of the big cities. Do you guys ever wish you could go back in time with the knowledge you have now to share with your past self? I would tell myself to embrace the tall awkward girl I used to be. But maybe I needed to be that unsure girl in order to search for who I was meant to be in fashion.
Without a doubt, fashion played a huge role in helping me become the woman than I am today. As I mentioned before here, the wrap dress embodies what every woman should be: confident, sexy and bold. It really is the perfect dress to commemorate the woman I became!

Taking regular exercise will help you have an easier pregnancy and give you more stamina to cope with giving birth. If you’re fit, you are likely to get back into shape more easily after the birth and you will have more energy to cope with the demands of a new baby. If you already follow an exercise routine then – providing your GP agrees – there is no reason why you shouldn’t continue with it. If you want to try something new, or start a vigorous exercise regime, you should always check with yo
Yes, I do! To answer your question, I also was that tall awkward girl in high school trying to blend in when I was meant to stand out all along. The experiences I have learned along the way helped to just embrace and accept who I am as I discovered my truest passions in life. So I wouldn’t go back, all these life experiences helped me to grow up and become who I really am. By the way, I love the green pattern print wrap dress, its a classic and sophisticated staple I need to invest in my fall wardrobe.
Such a classic, lovely look.

I get a sense of nostalgia whenever I visit the area I went to high school in. It was about 20 mins away from home but it was definitely a great escape from the suburbs – since it was a little in the bushland area 🙂 very relaxing none the less 😀

I’m same… As much as I love cities that are alive 0-24 I also love those small places in the world where you can still see stars when you look up at the sky at night, where you can be in touch with piece and nature and faaaar away from any traffic…
These photos are so beautiful and dreamy and perfectly portray that amazing moment of feeling free and content 🙂

Even though the community can really get onto your nerves in a small town, they nevertheless have those strangely peaceful, natural & simple vibes. Btw in love with the dress! Looks classy despite its bold pattern.
