currently {april edition}

wearing: i am all about white dresses lately- with touches of blue. old navy had some great options and sales a few weeks ago. the photo above might be my all time favorite white dress though. i love chantilly lace and find the entire look so feminine. i am also in love with swedish hasbeens shoes lately- i have them in red and if i could afford every color, i would invest in these amazing shoes. so cute. 

sipping: ecstatic to try this watermelon mojito recipe… does anything say summer and warm weather more than a watermelon mojito?

wishlisting: the weather in the carolinas has been in the 70’s and absolutely wonderful. {sorry ohio lovers, i know, the photos looked like christmas last week and i hope it changes quickly for you all!! i really do.} but i have been dreaming about a comfortable outdoor bed- hanging on our back porch to read and feel the rays of the sun. at some point in my life, i will make this happen ♥

writing: snail mail for some special people in my life and blog posts! soon, i am hoping to start morning devotionals and writing in a spiritual journal {my dear friend, renee, has inspired me} updates, advice, and info coming soon… but i am very excited. any advice? 

exploring: local coffee shops and cafes! as you may have seen, emily and i started a ‘simply grey coffee tour’ in january and i have loved it so much and i have truly enjoyed reading the posts and seeing the photos on instagram & twitter! use #simplygreycoffeetour and join us on april 24 for our third french press morning. what do you look for in a coffee shop?

 what are you up to currently?

    I think the white dress + swedish hasbeens would make such a pretty combo! And I love that you're writing snail mail. That's one thing I'd really like to do more of!

    I have wanted a pair of Swedish hasbeens for a few years now. I'm hoping it all works out to bite the bullet for this summer!

    That dress really is the most beautiful dress ever! It's so perfect for spring days. 🙂 Also, now you have me craving a watermelon mojito! I want to try to make a batch of those this summer!

    Loving your coffee tour, girl! I'd love to meet up with you for coffee sometime this year!
