Hi! Your niece is a beauty! I cannot wait to meet my sweet little niece who is about to make me an aunt - she is due to enter the world this month!! As always, the pics of Sage and Hunter are absolutely adorable :) I cannot wait to read The Help. It has received so many endorsements from friends. Thanks for another! Score on your pretty sweater - a great color on you. I was thinking about going to the Gap outlet later today but I'm pretty positive I won't be able to walk away with such a steal! Hope y'all are enjoying this Labor Day weekend :) xoxo, Kelly
P.S.
I still follow the white "rule" but I definitely think it's a thing of the past...at least here in the South! I grew up in NY, though, and people are still pretty religious about it up there :)
Precious photos! I was contemplating wearing all of my white this weekend too - haha! :)
I can't carry off the ruffles, but I do tend to wear similar colored feet year round.
beautiful beach pictures. i'm hoping to capture some of my little one on the beach this week.
Your style is flawless. LOVE.
I'm going to miss linen and white...it's still so hot here in Texas that we should get to at least wear it until the end of Sept, right? I have a shot of my little guys feet in Chuck Taylor's. Your little boy Chacos are too cute!
You are just as cute as I remember from when I met you at Poogan's Porch. Oh yes, and at the Charleston Airport. And then again in Atlanta. Can you really believe that happened? I seriously have to pinch myself sometimes, you know?
Lovely pictures. Love the ruffles. :)
Your boy he for sure OWNS that beach. That blue swim shirt? Fabulous.
I am going to tell you today that I miss you. And I'm grateful for you.
Blessings sweet friend.

What a beautiful blog, and list.
I also loved The Help, I am sure I have mentioned it at least seven times on my blog!
Love all of the pics. I bought The Help but am holding on to it until we leave for vacation in October.
Thanks for the hop. Hope you have a great day!

Lovely pictures yet again! And that sweater is adorable, I can never find good stuff at our Goodwill...maybe someday I'll learn how to shop better!
the white thing isn't true...i don't think anyway ;) and your babies and YOU are so adorable! happy labor day!
I love ruffle butt outfits/bathing suits and I love whoever made up the idea. My little girl already has tons of ruffly butt pants :)
:D beautiful pictures. you're becoming quite the photographer.
xx,

yes to the Help (i'm reading it too...and totally in love <3), yes to ruffled butts, and yes to a 3 day weekend!
hope you're doing well, sweet friend!
I have been wanting to read that book so badly! Need to pick it up soon! What precious photos. That polka dot suit! eee!
Hope you enjoy the extra day today!
Love, love these sweet pictures, especially of you and your sweet babies. You have such a creative gift with words and pictures and it's always a joy to drop by. Hugs to you dear!
There's nothing sweeter than baby butt ruffles
I love The Help! I read it last summer and couldn't put it down (well, I read it as much as having an infant at the time allowed!). Robert and I went on a date last night (woohoo!) and I finally got to see it. It was soooo good.
Have a great week!
The baby ruffles got me! And can I tell you I also find the BEST stuff at Goodwill stores? It's a matter of the time and the day you go..I've got it all figured out! Sweet pictures.
I saw "the help" 3 times at the theater, and cannot wait to read the book! Oh Sage and her ruffly behind, too cute!
sounds amazing. love this. great post, love. Would love if you'd check out my tribute to Rachel Zoe in honor of tonight's premier. xoxo

That picture should BE in a Gap commercial/ad! The Help...what can I tell you, it's an awesome book. Definitely worth the laundry piling up. Your cuties...so squeezable :)
Love the picture of you..you're so pretty!! And I see the whole, don't wear white after labor day, still floating around, but seriously! how can we not still wear white with it being so hot everywhere?!

I have pondered much the whole white clothing issue, too. I say as long as it's hot, wear white. Poo on the rules. ;) Love that sweet ruffly bummed girl and her sandal sportin' brother, such cuties they are!
LOVING the ruffley behind! Little baby ruffles are the best!
I've spent a lot of time reading through your archives lately. (via my phone, which isn't at all comment friendly, otherwise I'd have been leaving lots.) I'm really enjoying your blog a lot, and your perspective. Thanks for sharing, and please, keep writing!
Oh that picture of your son on the beach is absolutely adorable...frame it for sure!!!! And ruffles on little girl booties, too cute:-) I read The Help on vacation this summer and I couldn't put it down either...now I need to see the movie. (although I don't think I can ever look at chocolate pie the same way again:-)
the help is so good! i can't wait to see the movie - but it doesn't come out here in Amsterdam until JANUARY! boo!
