An Inspirational Collaboration: Vanessa + Kelli
Hello and happy Friday lovelies! To those of you here in the US...happy 4th of July weekend! I hope that no matter how you will be spending the next few days, they will be filled with friendship, just the right amount of sunlight, and laughter until your sides ache.
Today I have the great delight of introducing a special collaboration between two of the sweetest ladies around: Vanessa Warren and Kelli Trontell. You're going to love what they've created to share with us all today, so please be sure to scroll all the way down to take every last bit of inspirational goodness in. But first let's start by asking the ladies about what inspired this gorgeous series, and how it was working together on such a lovely collaboration, shall we?
"Collaboration is a passion for the both of us. We have been inspired by so many other creatives and blogs (such as the fabulous Creature Comforts), so when we had the idea of mixing our creativity (styling + photography), we wanted to do our very best in hopes to inspire others and give back to those who daily inspire us. With the 4th of July holiday upon us, we decided to get creative and pull from our Southern lifestyle here in Music City - Nashville, TN. We met in Nashville five years ago after packing our bags and moving away from home (Vanessa - Dallas, TX // Kelli - Orange County, CA) to follow our dreams. We have always been creative in our own way and inspired by one another…so this collaboration was the perfect fit!"
Wasn't that absolutely fantastic everyone?! You're going to want to see more from these two ladies, so:
