To cap off Women's History Month, I'm sharing all about one of my favorite ways to celebrate women: Galentine's Day! This past February was my third annual Galentine's party. Each year, I try out something new: the first year was a slumber party, last year was a Favorite Things Party, and this year was all about flannel and brunch. We continued on the tradition of our favorite things, but switched up the other elements. All the details of our Galentine's Brunch are below.
This time today, I was supposed to be sitting poolside in Las Vegas with friends, but obviously, the world had other plans. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do, so I'm currently sitting at home reminiscing on past adventures. Over the past four months, I've taken two trips to visit my best friend in Austin. The first time, I went solo and the second, two girlfriends joined. Both trips included new parts of Austin to explore, plus some true favorites. If you're planning for the next time you can travel, my complete itineraries are below.
Happy First Day of Spring!
One of my favorite things about spring is all the flowers that begin to bloom. I live across from Grant Park and I can't wait to walk through it, experiencing all the colorful blooms. Since I can't always be outdoors surrounded by the beauty, I love bringing florals indoors through my wardrobe and decor. They add just the right amount of pattern, while also adding springtime colors. In honor of the first day of spring, I'm sharing some of my favorite floral finds, including cute dresses, tea towels, and jean jackets. Enjoy my favorite shopping finds below.
February was such a blur! We started off the month showering my sister with a tea party themed afternoon and ended with her amazing wedding. In between, I traveled to Pennsylvania, Texas, and of course, South Carolina, both for work and play. It was truly a wonderful month spent celebrating with family, enjoying Chicago in the winter, and visiting with friends. Below is a peak into my February.
Now that we've caught up on 2019's final Month in Photos post, it's time for the first of 2020. The beginning of the year started out with sickness, but ended with fun wedding festivities for my sister. I traveled to Tennessee to celebrate her bachelorette party and she travelled to Illinois for her bridal shower. It's hard to believe we're less than a week away from her wedding!
January's fun is below.
Hello all! I have been a little MIA around here due to illness. The first three weeks of the New Year were spent on the couch, complete with an inhaler, cough drops, and kleenex. All this to say, I'm playing a little Lavender Elizabeth catch-up. One of my favorite series on the blog are my Month in Photos installments. It may be the second week of February, but I'm sharing the month of December. It was a crazy month filled with holiday festivities, a wedding, and a New York City adventure. Look below for how I spent my last month of 2019.
This last year was filled with travel, friendship, and venturing out on my own. Between personal and work trips, I traveled somewhere at least once a month (and in most cases, twice a month), while balancing time spent with family and friends. Below, I'm recapping this crazy/fun year with some of my favorite moments of 2019.
