Over my last year of working full time as a creative I have really clung on to the saying "A rising tide lifts all boats!" There are so many creatives, photographers, bloggers, writers, that I have collaborated with that have grown Oak + Oats. They have encouraged and inspired me. We have asked questions and shared advice. The community has been crucial. I am so excited to be sharing with you our first ever Artist Series for Oak + Oats! Shop Oak + Oats is teaming up with Sarah Lynn Paterson ... continue reading...
Tips for a Spring Style Refresh
As I sit here at my computer the windows are open, the birds are singing, the trees are rustling, and I can smell the blooming flowers & growing grass. It's Spring! I am a fan of all four seasons. I love the change. I love putting away the old for the new.

Wide Open Spaces
LOCATION: Black Forest OUTFIT DETAILS: Toms Booties || GAP Sleeveless Floral Shirtdress || Petite Bangle - Maya (c/o) || Splendid Bangle - Fiers (c/o) || Swanky Gold Bracelet - Maya (c/o) I love the changing of the seasons. I love how they flow consistently year after year. Spring always follows Winter, Autumn always follows Summer. It is one cycle. One circle (of life ;) ) Pulling out the Spring dresses not only feels exhilarating (something new is on the horizon!) but it is also cathartic. ... continue reading...
