easter ready.

March 26, 2018 by Molly Sohr

This Easter table was all sourced from Target. They have the most affordable + appropriate items perfect for this spring holiday. I especially loved the structure of the moss topiaries and the floral napkins for the pop of color on the table, plus they paired perfectly with the coral ranunculus! I love the idea of paper mache eggs + bunnies, IF I wanted to switch this up - I would make this into a craft + paint them, but in an effort to keep it all looking natural + organic I kept them in its original form.

Happy Easter y'all!

ever alice | pop up shop

March 19, 2018 by Molly Sohr

Sharing this fun pop- up shop I had the pleasure of styling for Sarah, owner of Ever Alice. This was held late last fall in Sarah's effort to tip-toe into what it might feel like to have a physical boutique.

I am sharing this now because Sarah, the young girl boss that she is, has successfully DONE THE DAMN THING...she has signed the lease, moved in, and created her very first flagship store for her Ever Alice brand! I am so thrilled for this hard working friend and it's amazing what all she has accomplished in 4 months! GET IT GIRL.

Shop her online store here, it's a mix of beautiful basics, statement jewelry + investment staples! Shop her new flagship store at 2209 bandywood drive, nashville tn 37215

moody march.

march can be a bit of a temperamental month, so that's what encouraged me to make a simple, spring minded setup! e n j o y

beautiful big sur.

March 05, 2018 by Molly Sohr

This is a new post for me but I travel a lot, and friends always ask me "do you have any recommendations for ____" Traveling is my favorite way to get inspired. After visiting a new place and seeing different sides of the world I always come back feeling super rejuvenated and full of ideas.

I would love to hear what you think about me sharing this kind of stuff? I was so thankful to have done this particular trip with my lifelong best friend, Cristina ... YALL, THIS WAS THE BEST TRIP and it was done in 32 hours!

Planning a northern cali coast trip? OR not? (YOU SHOULD!) Here's what we did + I would do it again in a second...but maybe stay longer next time.

PERFECT FOR A GIRLS GETAWAY, OR HONEY TRIP

FLY INTO SAN FRANCISCO + RENT A CAR (oakland is a better airport to avoid traffic)

DAY 1

NOON | arrived in Carmel by the Sea >> here we packed a beach picnic, relaxed on the beach + drank wine until sunset, after that we explored the town and popped into a few cute shops / hotels.

DINNER | this quaint little italian bistro was perfect for our first + only night out in Carmel. The staff was amazing too!

8PM | Grabbed a drink at Cypress Inn, it was a beautiful hotel with a stunning courtyard restaurant + bar: Terry's (which is also pet- friendly and has live music nightly)

DAY 2

8AM | woke up in Monterey at our cozy hotel (located right on the water) and took a nice morning walk around the marina. This was the perfect stay as the rooms were huge/ had their own deck and fireplace, also because it allowed us another place to explore (without the price tag of Carmel)!

10AM | started our trek to BIG SUR! This was a day we were so excited to start. We packed up our things and headed about an hour into Big Sur. The hour plus car ride alone was S T U N N I N G and worth the journey.

11AM | we started on our 8 or 10 mile hike (accidentally got a little lost), which is HIGHLY advise because even though it was long we got to see Big Sur for what it was... Untouched, beautiful, rugged, serene, magical + simple. The hike started in the quintessential redwoods forrest and spitted us out (4 hours later) along the coastline for breathtaking views. I love being outdoors so if you do too I highly recommend! *TIP: bring plenty of water and a few snacks for the trip + tell someone what you will be hiking. There is NO CELL SERVICE!

5PM | after our hike we rewarded ourselves with beer + sandwiches at Big Sur Deli . I may have been starving but this was the best sandwich I have ever had in my life. It was the perfect non fussy place to grub, listen to music, and unwind on the top deck overlooking Big Sur.

7PM | we headed to the beach to watch the final sunset + after we hit the road back to the city!

spring break style.

March 01, 2018 by Molly Sohr

IT'S OFFICIALLY MARCH!

First thing that comes to mind...spring break is near (if you get those still!?) + it had me reminiscing about one my my first shoots I did a couple years back with NFOCUS...it was alllll about COLOR + my theme was "spring break brunch".

It's funny to see my style NOT changing a bit- I am STILL using the same elements, I still have a massive love for color, and I love a brunch theme ...but hey at least I am consistent.

ALSO, Scroll down for my favorite fashion items right now ... P E R F E C T for a beach spring break getaway!

bride to be: dinner shower

February 20, 2018 by Molly Sohr

Over the past weekend I put together a small event which was a perfect example of why I love what I do! I LOVE creating memories for those who are celebrating major LIFE events...especially those who personally mean so much to me!

So, we spoiled our great friend Brooke on her "bachelorette" weekend. It was the most beautiful, relaxing + enjoyable VACATION down in Anna Maria Island, Florida. Friends from her west coast college, her family (old + new) and her new hometown (Nashville) all came together to celebrate the joyous occasion...Brooke getting married!

At 29 we all have been on our fair share of wild bachelorette weekends so this was such a nice switch up and it was truly SO Brooke. The first night we did a beautiful sunset cruise of the island through AMI watersports and on the last night all the bridesmaids pitched in and threw her a "dinner party shower" with the help of local caterer, AJ of The loft 5, who was incredible to work with! Then Paz, a talented local photographer, came to capture it all! I am so excited to have been able to design a fun little nautical setup like this in a new area (I fell in love with!).

Everything I used is tagged below - ENJOY :)

February 15, 2018 by Molly Sohr

I have a fun weekend in store! I am headed to a best friend's bachelorette weekend + I wanted to share what goodies I packed for the shower we are throwing her on Saturday night!

A couple months ago The Happy Hostess reached out + sent me her P E R F E C T packed party goods for the occasion! They are ideal for spoiling our bride and celebrating the bride to be! Scroll down to see how I used them for a cocktail setup.

ABOUT | These little boxed kits from The Happy Hostess are perfect for the traveling party thrower as they come with a bride sash + veil combo, glitter banners, tattoos, selfie sticks, and more... it's truly a one stop shop for bachelorette parties! Planning a bach? Click here to shop.

Can't wait to share more from this fun filled weekend in Florida! HELLO SUNSHINE + CELEBRATING THE BRIDE TO BE!

THROWING A MORNING PARTY? // HERE ARE SOME TIPS

1. prep as much as you can the night before... these bloody mary sticks (green olives, sundried tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, + pickled okra) took a while for me to assemble so instead of being flustered on the day of, i prepped them the night before and I am so glad I did!

2. chill the champagne beforehand! here's a great article on the best way to enjoy this bubbly drink + you need at least a couple hours to cool.

3. have everything table top wise pulled out + ready to go (ESPECIALLY florals) so all you have to do is place + style, the tablescape can take a while so make sure you allow enough time in your morning to do this!

4. make sure all your serving dishes are clean + ready to go!

5. plan out your outfit! as the host you sometimes forget about you...so make sure you focus a little energy on yourself, but if you're rushed on time- throw the hair in a bun and fake it til you make it.

FINALLY, ENJOY YOURSELF. IT'S A PARTY!

winter whites

December 26, 2017 by Molly Sohr

SADLY, Christmas is over. You most likely have a lot of left over greenery + pine. Instead of the next day throw away- reuse it! Here are a few inspirations for repurposing those + adding in winter whites for a whole new look that is winter approved.

Also, ALWAYS a huge lover of winter whites in my life + wardrobe year round. I've linked my favorite lifestyle items below..most are on sale now... Enjoy!

LIFE

1. CANDLES 2. VASE 3. STEMLESS WINE GLASS 4. FLUFFY PILLOW 5. CASHMERE BLANKET 6. STRIPE TABLECLOTH

STYLE

1. POM POM EARRINGS 2. IVORY SWEATER JACKET 3. BACKLESS MULES 4. COLD SHOULDER DRESS 5. STRUCTURED BUCKET BAG

a few of my favorite things.

December 13, 2017 by Molly Sohr

1. TREE HUNTING

Every year the day after thanksgiving it is a tradition to go up to "Santa's Tree's" and grab the more full looking REAL tree, then I go home, blast Christmas music and get to decorating. This year was extra special because my mom was in town for Thanksgiving + we were able to do it together.

2. CHRISTMAS CARDS

I get way too excited about Christmas cards I will admit it, BUT it's the only way once a year to get a "family photo" + have a reflection of where we were that year for the future. I keep them as ornaments on the tree as a visual scrapbook. SO let me love this tradition, it's the little things...

3. MORNINGS AT HOME WITH ARCHIE

If you haven't noticed yet, I love my dog. Especially on the cold winter mornings I LOVE drinking my coffee and easing into the morning with him. Before I have children of my own one day he will stay my current only child. So... Sorry not sorry.

4. FESTIVE DECOR + ENTERTAINING

MIC. DROP.

Favorite season meet favorite activity.

5. OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

I LOVE our neighborhood every season because of its charm + history but especially love it around Christmas. If you drive on any given street in the 12s / Belmont neighborhood you are in for a treat. I currently am in love with this historical compound of a home on Linden Avenue for their epic wreath...where does one even purchase that? Christmas Goals.

6. GIVING GIFTS

I LOVE THE "GIVING SEASON". Friends + family may not always love my gifts but I love giving far more than receiving. Most importantly I love picking a charity to give to every year and a family who needs things far more than we do. It is a yearly reminder to think larger than myself + get giving.

7. REMEMBERING THE REASON FOR THE SEASON

It's so easy to get caught up in instagram world of things looking perfect 24-7 / the constant "keep up" feeling but this holiday is a way to remind us that life is not about that. We are not here for that. It is a reminder to all to keep the faith and remember why we even celebrate Christmas...

John 3:16-17 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."

Christmas is my absolute favorite season + I am so happy to have this outlet now to share with you my very favorite things. Lots of love and...

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS

holiday florals

December 09, 2017 by Molly Sohr

for my first Christmas party of the year I was given 100% freedom in the color scheme so instead of the typical red / green combo I went a little softer + chose these gorgeous soft pink peonies to be the star of the show.

CHEERS.

a thankful dinner.

November 17, 2017 by Molly Sohr

Back in September I was asked to throw a lovely engagement dinner party at a beautiful farm west of Nashville. I feel it perfectly translates to a thanksgiving dinner. At each place setting there was a handmade leather journal from Forrest Nine shop + pencil in order to give the couple well wishes for their big day. Just like what you would do on thanksgiving day but instead list out what you are thankful for this year.

I think being thankful should not be limited to just one day - much like this dinner it should be random nights in September/ whenever you feel like celebrating! You should never have to limit your graciousness to one day. Count your blessings everyday.
