Featured Etsy Seller: Rae Gun
As soon as I learned we’d spend this summer in the hot Carolina sunshine, I have been scouring ebay, vintage shops and etsy for ruffley sunsuits for Everly. If I had it my way, she’d wear them every single day. They’re so playful and sweet and of course, I can’t help but be smitten with anything with a vintage feel.
During my search, I stumbled upon Rae Gun - a darling...

Everly & I had a wonderful opportunity to shoot with an up and coming, San Francisco-based photographer named Kelly Jacikas last weekend. She is adorable, sweet & was totally game for showing up at our house at 8am on Saturday.

Well, here I go.
My cab will be here in 15 minutes. Please, please, please don’t let me cry in the cab, or at the airport, or on the plane while the poor soul next to me looks over and thinks I’m crazy.
