5 Ways To Spend Productive Time Together At Home!

Hi everyone, today I’m sharing 5 ways to spend productive time together at home with Pottery Barn. As I mentioned on Instagram last night, I love traveling for a living, but I always hate leaving Blake behind so we’ve come up with some sweet and easy ways to make sure that we’re taking advantage of every moment in the house together. Scroll through this post to see how we turn simple daily tasks into sweet moments together.

1. Drink coffee together. For us, making moments count starts in the morning with breakfast and coffee. Blake always gets up before I do so he’ll start the coffee and I’ll froth the cream and clean up. Before breaking out the biscuits and eggs, we’ll sit and enjoy our coffee together in our signature alphabet mugs and just catch up. Coffee talk with your significant other is a must!

2. Make Your Bed. Making your bed together each morning will help you start off the day feeling fresh, accomplished and organized. Plus it helps remind us that we’re a team.

3. Do mini household chores together.  On the weekends we always catch up on dirty laundry and towels. Speaking of towels, I always heard great things about Pottery Barn’s Quick Drying bath towels but, I never understood how truly wonderful they are until we received some from our wedding registry. They’re so fluffy and absorbent.

Speaking of our wedding registry, I highly recommend registering with Pottery Barn because not only do they offer top quality products, but they also help you keep track of who gave you what can manage the thank you process including reminders, which is so important. Oh and here is the best part… after completing your registry you get 10% OFF of every order you place for up to six months after your wedding. Last but not least, you have up to 90 days after your event to make returns because let’s be real here…we all know we change on our minds on colors and styles. Register for your next event with Pottery Barn here!

4. Make plans! Make future plans, plans for the day, plans for the house, vacation plans, basically just plan something together to look forward to. While were away from each other, upcoming plans together give us something to hold on to and work towards.

Side Note: I always like to keep trashcans with lids in the guest bathroom to keep the room looking clean. No one likes to see other people’s bathroom trash. I recommend this Mercer Lidded Trash Can from Pottery Barn because it’s chic and clean. Plus you can get it monogrammed.

5. Snuggle on the couch together. This might not sound very productive, but it actually is because relationships take work and sometimes all your relationship needs is to unplug and enjoy a little R&R together. One of our favorite lazy things to do on Sunday is lay on the couch for hours watching movies.

Jenni Saddle Bag Spring Launch

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today, I’m so excited to launch my Jenni Saddle Bag for spring in collaboration with GiGi New York. As you all know, I started designing the Jenni Saddle Bag during spring of 2016 and we officially launched the bag that following August. With that being said, I’m so thrilled to bring it back for a third season in brand new colors for spring: ivory, periwinkle and sable. I especially love the periwinkle and sable! The sable is perfect for everyday wear because it goes with everything and the periwinkle is great for a subtle pop of color with spring dresses. Although, I have yet to try out the ivory, but I’ll let you know as soon as I do. Also, it will still be available in grey, black and navy as well.

What color would you choose for spring? I’d love to hear your opinion and how you would style the bag!

I bring the Jenni with me everywhere, but mostly when I travel! I feel like the Jenni Saddle Bag has maybe even traveled more to more new places than I have! This year, she’s already been to Charleston and next week she’s heading to Mexico, but I mostly can’t wait to take to the Jenni to Italy, Mykonos and Santorini this summer! She really is the ideal travel crossbody bag because not only is the Jenni uber stylish, but she is also super super functional and spacious to fit all of your daily essentials like your phone, keys, lip balm and on-the-go beauty products.

Speaking of space, I just think it’s the perfect size crossbody bag! I know because I tested out a ton of different sizes until we discovered just the right dimensions including the length of the strap! Also the overall look of the bag is very on trend and the removable oversized tassel adds a fun and casual vibe.

Two Ways To Wear A Military Style Jacket

Hi everyone and Happy Sunday! Today I’m sharing two ways to wear a military style jacket for fall. For my first look, I went for a casual, everyday outfit that you can throw on to run around town. I took my studded military jacket by Sanctuary and paired it with some distressed jeans, a plaid boyfriend shirt and my taupe, suede ankle booties. The rips in the jeans and studs on the jacket definitely give this look some edge and the plaid, boyfriend style shirt keeps it super casual and comfortable for everyday wear.

Scroll through this post to see how I styled this military style jacket a second way for a date night with your guy or drinks with the girls.

For my second look, I went for an edgy-chic outfit that you can wear out at night and nothing says edgy-chic more than a pair of caged heels. So I started with the shoes and worked my way up. I chose another pair of distressed jeans, but in black for a dressier feel. For my top, I went with a tan mock-neck sweater because I am obsessed with sleeveless sweaters for fall. It’s a good thing that I am considering the fact that we’re at the end of October and it’s currently 85 degrees outside in Louisiana.
