White Tee Tuesday: Fashion Mash-Up

It's amazing how many different ways you can wear a white t-shirt! Cuffed jeans and wedges is one of my favorite outfits.

Post contains affiliate links. I might make a few pennies if you click on them and buy something. This post is proof of why I need Dan to take pictures for my blog. He did a marvelous job with the last four weeks of White Tee Tuesday. Alas, I was lazy over the weekend while… [Read More]

Giving Myself Grace for My Incomplete Goals

I accomplished very few of my goals last month, but I've realized they're not what's most important right now.

My mom’s terminal cancer is teaching me a surprising amount about myself. I am often harder on myself than I am on other people. When wielded well, my standards and ambition drive me to success. When brandished as a weapon, I become my own worst enemy. If you have been reading Belle Brita for at… [Read More]

My Parents Made a Feminist out of Me

I noticed sexism as a kid, even if I couldn't articulate it. My parents taught me that sexism was wrong, that I was just as good as my twin brother. They are why I'm a feminist today.

Post contains affiliate links. I’ve been a feminist for as long as I can remember. I became a feminist at such a young age that I didn’t even know what a feminist was. I didn’t know there were adults out there who understood how I felt, adults who agreed with me, adults who had paved… [Read More]

Because Marriage is Greater Than “Just a Piece of Paper”

Marriage is so much more than "just a piece of paper." But that piece of paper, the marriage license, and the rights it confers, is why marriage equality is so important.

“Marriage is just a piece of paper.” How many times have you heard that statement? I know I’ve heard it a few times in pop culture, but luckily most of my friends and family disagree with the sentiment. I knew I wanted to marry Dan very early in our relationship. It was still a decision… [Read More]

White Tee Tuesday: At the Festival of Flowers

A black skirt is a key wardrobe piece, that can easily be dressed up or down

Post contains affiliate links For the entire month of June, my hometown of Greenwood, SC celebrates the Festival of Flowers. Highlights include live music, art showings, a musical at the Greenwood Community Theatre, and–my personal favorite–topiaries! The last weekend in June features all the main events. I’ve spent most of the month with my parents,… [Read More]

Nerdy Rings for a Nerdy Couple

Our wedding bands and engagement ring with my bridal bouquet!

When you fall in love with an engineer, you can’t expect a traditional engagement ring. Luckily for both Dan and me, I never wanted a traditional engagement ring. My mom’s engagement ring is an oval sapphire surrounded by diamond chips. I’ve always dreamed of having my own unusual engagement ring, just like hers. Like I… [Read More]
