Cold Brew and Conquer
*This blog contains affiliate links* You may be thinking something along the lines of, “Raine, do you really have an entire shelf in your fridge dedicated to coffee?” Yes, dear Reader. The answer is yes. That’s why it’s perfect that I’m able to keep some full-strength caffeinated goodness and some decaf on hand. I like […]
Top 10 Teacher Gifts on Etsy
Now that I’m student teaching, I’ve been spending a lot more time browsing through teacher-related ideas and items on sites like Pinterest and Etsy.

Birthday in a Blue Skirt
…and just like that, I’m 24! Since today is a super busy day and I’m going to be trapped inside at school and/or work all day, I thought that I’d share some of my favorite photos from a few weekends back as a birthday celebration. I can assure you that I look less put-together today, […]

If you’ve ever been to Atlanta’s Piedmont Park, hopefully you’ve had a chance to check out the cute and colorful Noguchi Playscape.

Ponce City Market & Elephant Print Pants
Ponce City Market is one of my favorite places to go and hang out. It’s cute, artsy, has delicious food, and it’s right down the street from my apartment. Did I mention the food?! It’s also a fantastic place to just go and people-watch. Now, I have to admit that I’m the kind of person […]
Floral Jeans on the Atlanta Beltline
I’m really glad that florals are *in* this fall, because I love floral everything, including these floral jeans!

Falling into Fall
‘Falling into fall’ is how I’d describe those of us who embrace the coming of autumn with exuberance, who pile on the layers as soon as the first chill hits, and who look forward all summer to the changing leaves and pumpkin-everything fall has to offer.
