Fresh Prospective

Spent Saturday afternoon and night exploring Park Slope with Evan. We are most definitely fans.

More than anywhere else in New York, Prospect Park felt the most like Tennessee to us. There were even people playing country music and barbecuing.

Not Your Daughter's Jeans

Right before I came to school, I shot my mom's headshots for her up and coming voice over business.

I'm usually the one in front of the camera for headshots, but I loved being on the other side and I'm really happy with the results. If I look half as good as my mom does when I'm her age, I'll be doing pretty well.

If you're in NYC and need cheap headshots, hit a girl up!

Moving On Up

A week ago I moved into my new dorm. While it's only a few blocks from my old one, it's definitely an update- I have my own room! We moved everything in in one day, that's including putting things on walls, hooking up electronics, everything. I thought Evan was gonna kill me, but we got it done.

Let me preface by saying, I am a nester and nesters come with a lot of stuff. But to me it's more than just stuff. I thrive best when I have a place to come home to that I enjoy and that inspires me. For me, that means things looking beautiful and being in their place. I love the way staging small things like picture frames, perfume bottles, and candles (don't tell my RA), can automatically make a space feel homey.

Function and fun is the name of the game folks.

A Solstice of Sorts (a note on Summer)

Hey friends. So as I'm sure you've noticed, I've taken a break from posting over the past month. It wasn't a super intentional thing, but between the patchy internet at my house in Nashville and the general normalcy of my everyday, I decided to take this past month to enjoy time in my hometown and with my family.

But tomorrow I head back to New York to meet up with my man and start a new year and I'm sure I'll have lots to share.

Thanks for reading and for staying.

Until next time (which will be soon),

Abby.

The Roster

Hey y'all! Sorry this Roster is a day late. We had a birthday dinner for my brother and step-brother at my house last night, so I was busy all day with that. Better late than never.

1) Reaping the benefits of my fledgling bartender boyfriend:

2) The first big cake since my return from NYC:

3) Digging through family treasures with Honeymamma:

4) Sundays in the park with Zoey (and Evan):

5) I'm a very introverted person, which a lot of people don't believe because the majority of people don't understand what really distinguishes an extrovert from an introvert. This article from the Huffington Post explains it really well.

Happy rest of your week!

The Roster

1) Missing Henry:

2) Good Southern desserts:

3) Mornings with the puppy:

4) Being lame and listening (and belting) to my Wicked cd in the car:

5) You are not allowed to ever look as cute as Kate Middleton. (via The Cut)

Sorry 'bout it.
