Southern Roots

Hello Friends!

So I have a random question for you all... if you could live anywhere in the World (like if you didn't have to worry about things like money or family) where would you live?

I would live somewhere in the South! In fact, I am really feeling a pull to go back again- last year I went on a three-week road trip with my dad from Texas to South Carolina, and everywhere in between. My dad is actually from Monroe, LA and I think that's why I felt so "at home" in the South- I have southern roots!

Picking a place to live in the South would be tough because I love the small town, slow-paced lifestyle, but I also am used to city living... so if I had to narrow this down a little more, I would move to Nashville, TN :) Have you guys ever been? It's lovely.

Since my trip with my dad I have always said I would move there someday, but I am not sure I ever will. My family is really important to me and I don't know if I could ever live so far away from them- BUT if they ever feel this "wanderlust" that I have had deep inside of me all of my life, I would surely encourage everyone to move to the dixieland :)

BTW, if you are from the South, I am so jealous!

  3. Italy would be my first choice, I have family there. Second would be anywhere warm and on a beach. Other than that, I love being in the Bay Area, so much to do!

    Love the sweater!

  4. North Carolina - hands down! I haven't found a place I love more! I'd prefer a place in Raleigh and in Asheville.

    My husband has lived in Monroe, LA! He graduated high school there and went to college for a couple years at LA Tech! Small world! (:

    Also, very cute outfit!

  5. Somewhere in California! Near a city and near a big lake. Somewhere where the sun shines and it is warm!

  8. Although I love the idea of the south, I would miss the snow too much. Actually, just the Christmas-y feel of the holiday months. And definitely the fall, I'd miss all the colors.

    So I would have to say probably in New York. I love the hustle and bustle. That or maybe L.A., that's where everything happens, right?

    Cute blog, following!

  9. I love wear I live, in upstate New York. If only the ocean were nearby, it would be perfect. The only thing better than wear I live is the beach.

  11. I am living in New Orleans but I'm originally from the cold Northwest :) I am torn between the two. The rain her is miserable but the snow lasts too long there. :)
