About

Fancy meeting you! I'm Sarah Louise, and if the double name didn't give it away, a southern gal. I live where I was born and raised in Charlotte, NC.

I am saved by grace, married to a veteran officer in the US Navy now practicing medicine in the ER, Mamma to my darling Vivian Louise who's 5 years old and a gal pal who will always greet you and leave you with a squeeze!

I am an enthusiast for fashion and strive to be an inspiration with my polished and classic style. It all began with the influence from my Grandma & Mamma both of whom exude timeless beauty in their love of crisp white shirts and red lipstick.

I focus on modest and timeless pieces that are appropriate for the office setting but that easily translate to casual weekend looks. I incorporate modern pieces for versatility and fun in my wardrobe.
I believe in wearing forever pieces, investing in quality and always letting your personality shine through you looks.

While I concentrate on fashion, I'll also share posts with encouraging messages, on motherhood, beauty and home decor style.

Most importantly I believe in dressing beautifully always!

XOXO
Sarah Louise
