Today we’re running a few rather delicious errands… and by delicious I mean we’re getting some Valentine’s day goodies from my favorite Charlotte pastry chef, Maria Siragusa of Eclairesse. Stay tuned to my Instagram to see more! We’re also stopping it at Copain and a few other favorite spots before coming back home and enjoying our treats (after a photoshoot or two). We’re expecting to continue the rainy trend we’ve been in lately and I know that the rain will be beneficial come spring, but I have to say that I’m really missing the sunny days right now.
