5 Questions for Elise
Where do you find inspiration for your blog?
My inspiration comes from so many different things… whether that be music (currently: First Aid Kit, The Middle East), magazines or other blogs. I also think it’s so important to get out of the house to find inspiration. Taking a day to escape my ‘to do’ list, soak up the sunshine and snap some pretty photos always leaves me feeling inspired and refreshed.
How does Southern culture influence your blog?
Having been born and raised in the South, I’m intrigued by the unique history that we have here. I’m big into vintage clothes (and as a result, started Troubadour Vintage on the side) and love to imagine who may have worn them in a previous life.
What is your favorite place in the South to visit?
There are so many fantastic spots (from Birmingham to Savannah), but I recently took my first road trip down to Florence, Alabama and was incredibly inspired. The fashion (hello Billy Reid!), the music and the art scene there are so lovely and unexpected. It was such a charming little southern town.
Favorite Southern tradition?
Besides sweet tea? 
I absolutely love going to see shows at the historic Ryman Auditorium. There is always an abundance of good live music in a variety of genres available here. So many legendary stars have graced that Ryman stage – and you can really feel the history when you are there!
3 blogs you can’t live without?
- I love Oh Joy! She is always on top of the latest and greatest in the design world.
- Another Day To Dress Up always provides whimsical fashion inspiration.
- And when I just want to feast my eyes on all things pretty, I head to All The Mountains.

I can’t get enough of the Pennyweight blog! It’s amazing!
Oh, Florence! My hometown! I live in NC now, but am returning home this weekend. That video made me homesick for the first time since moving. How wonderful to see it through someone else’s eyes!
