Crown&Ivy Painter Check Sundress

Let me start by saying — MODELING IS HARD! I was reminded just how hard the other week when S. and I took some new photos of me to update my About page. Part of me totally felt silly parading around in my different outfits trying to get just the right shot. Don’t get me…

POPPY!

Nothing beats fall fashion! I feel inspired anew every year as the humidity decreases, the leaves start to change, and crisp, cool air greets me in the morning.
