Summer has gone as quickly as it arrived. While we had an amazing and impactful summer, we can’t help looking forward to a relaxing, laid-back fall. There is just so much to love about these autumn days; the crisp weather, Halloween treats, outdoor activities and of course a chance to show off our cozy sweaters and layered looks. In no particular order, here are the five fall things Sarah and I are most excited about this year: 1. VA Wineries Nothing beats fall in Virginia—changing leaves, hayrides, apple picking and, of course, Virginia wine! Whenever we can, we escape the city and head out to the country for a little R&R and to sample the many local wineries. The wine is delicious and the views can’t be beat. A few of our favorite stops on the VA wine trail are Chester Gap, Chateau O’brien, Barrel Oak, La Grange and Rappahannock Cellars. If a trip to the local wineries isn’t already on your calendar this fall, it’s not too late to start planning! 2. Outdoor Running Fall provides the PERFECT outdoor running weather. With our busy schedules, running is a quick and efficient workout fix. Now that the temps are finally beginning to drop and the mornings and […]

We have been introduced and now officially hooked on some amazing new designers, products and artists this summer. We wanted to share some of our top favorites, in case one may become yours too! 1. Zella Woods Jewelry We are absolutely loving everything about up-and-coming jewelry designer, Zella Woods. Ashley Henderson, the designer behind Zella Woods, makes personal and custom pieces that are perfect as a gift to a friend, new mother, or even to treat yourself! You can tell she puts her heart and soul into her work and it really shows in each piece of jewelry she crafts. She has a wide variety of pieces to choose from (she even does bridal jewelry!) and all within an affordable price range. We also love that she paired up with Agape Attire to collaborate on some pretty amazing cuff bracelets. “The motivation behind Zella Woods Designs is to make jewelry that people treasure like memories, pieces that speak to the individual rather than the masses.” -Zella Woods 2. Finding Mr. Righteous by Lisa DePasquale Finding Mr. Righteous is the perfect beach read! Author, Lisa DePasquale, writes about her trials and tribulations of dating men from various religious backgrounds while living and working in […]

Michelle and I wanted to introduce you to 5 Things You Need In Your Life Right Now. We promise you will thank us later, especially since we found the secret to never having a hangover again.. 1. Bota Box Cabernet Sauvignon Yes, we love boxed wine. Don’t be shocked or start judging because you will be headed to the store after you finish reading this post to pick one up for yourself. We have been testing this wine for months, just for you, to make sure we were on point with this and we have some exciting news to tell you. This is the only wine that DOES NOT GIVE US A HANGOVER!! Yes you read that correctly. We also love Bota Box because it is an easy drinking wine, total crowd pleaser, has the equivalent of 4 bottles in one box, costs around $20 and its even eco-friendly! Need we say more? Imagine having all your friends over for a nostalgic game of slap the bag and still being able to make it to work the next day.. 2. Trader Joe’s 1000 Day Gouda Cheese This cheese pairs quiet nicely with the Bota Box Cab Sav listed above and […]
