SEL // One Year Later

On January 21st, 2014, I created Southern Ervin Living. It was never planned, but was on a whim. My first post was titled: Our Wedding Story, where I talked about, well...our wedding. I didn't know what my future posts would have to offer the blogging community. I was clueless to be quiet honest with you. But within a year, I would like to say that I have grown as a writer, photographer and blogger. 

Through blogging, my creativity and uniqueness can truly shine.

I will forever be grateful for the amazing people I have meet through blogging and all of your support and sweet comments. Thank y'all so much! 

SEL has many more fabulous years ahead, here is to another one!

SEL's Weekly Flashback

This week has been a week of fresh starts, a fresh start to a new semester and a whole new blog design. I love starting over with a new blank canvas, it motivates me to instill new goals. 

Here is my weekly flashback:

Clearly a new semester has begun, 3 of my Insta posts involved coffee. COFFEE FIRST, THEN TALK. I am obsessed with my coffee mugs, courtesy of Lilly Pulitzer and Anthropology.

SEL got a total haul, one that is classy. I seriously could not be anymore happy with the sophisticated look that the black and gold design creates. If you are in search for a new blog design, I highly suggest Brand Me Beautiful. They are just oh so fabulous! 

Today, I did a mini morning photo shoot. I am hoping to become a future model for Southern Cross Apparel. They offer preppy/trendy apparel for both men and women. Fingers crossed that I get to represent such a great southern company!

Black & Gold Branding

Welcome to the newly renovated SEL! It is certainly not the changes anyone was expecting, not even myself. I wanted to keep my blog design simple yet classy. This blog design does just that. I adore black and gold. In fact, I have a secret Pinterest board dedicated to blog inspo where I have frequently pinned black and gold design inspiration. 

This design truly creates a classy and sophisticated look that I could not be more happy with. 

Below is a sneak peak of pins included in my blog inspo board. Wouldn't you agree that black and gold go perfectly together? 

What are your thoughts on the changes?
