Elevate Your Wardrobe with Rent The Runway

Last summer, I loved working with Rent the Runway, trading out dreamy dresses for my wardrobe for our travels! From Getaway House to Miami, I loved being able to pick out new pieces for the new places we were going. It was so nice to have lovely designer pieces without the designer price tag and if you are like me wear-one-time-then-hang-in-your-closet. But, I paused my subscription when fall came around as I didn’t need it as much. I definitely wouldn’t have thought that I wanted it during corona times, but I was wrong!

After all, who wouldn’t want to play dress up in your backyard, or wear new pieces to create new memories. John and I are celebrating our 5th anniversary on July 25th, and I knew I wanted to do a dreamy photo shoot and I have nothing that was inspiring me. SO, I was thrilled when Rent the Runway reached out about their latest promotion!

Right now you can use REBECCAPERK40 for ~$95 off their 2 Swap subscription. This comes out to two months for $89!

We LOVE layers. Year Round. No Question.

BUT, layering in the summer can be tricky tricky, especially when it gets super hot and humid, like it has been in Richmond lately. We love to have the option to wear tank tops and shorts, and skirts, but even on the hottest days, we both tend to reach for a top layer.

The week before quarantine began, I moved into a new office space for my “regular” job! I was so excited to decorate the space, but that got put on the back burner while we all worked at home for a couple of months. I got to perfect my home office space, but was thrilled to get back into work to bring my new space to life!

I was thrilled that Desenio wanted to collaborate to help me decorate my new office, but they have SO many prints to choose from I was overwhelmed at first. I realized these 3 tips during this process and wanted to share, in case any of you need help decorating a new space!

Must-Have Summer Accessory for Little Ones: Babiators

Thanks to Babiators for gifting us some sweet sunnies & The Brushies to share with our friends & followers.

I mean is there anything cuter than a baby in sunglasses? I’ll wait……

What’s better than just sunglasses on a baby? Quality, stylish and safe sunglasses! Enter: Babiators. From newborn to age 10+, Babiators makes some seriously adorable sunglasses that help to protect children from UV exposure. Children’s eyes are much more vulnerable to the sun and if you start them wearing sunglasses at a young age, you can help prevent damage.

Babiators tells us that : “If babies and kids spent just 30 minutes a day wearing Babiators and Aces, their eyes would gain 3,000+ hours of UV free time!”
