Wine Wednesday + Long Sleeve Maxis

This morning I was watching the news like I usually do and during a commercial break a little segment of the Ellen Degeneres show came on. All I caught was Ellen Degeneres saying something along the lines of: Happy Wine Wednesday and Happy Hump day… It’s no coincidence that they…

Windmill Island Gardens

When I first saw these pictures I truly thought it looked like I had been photo shopped in! The beauty of the windmill took my breath away. Though it felt like I was somewhere in the Netherlands, I was really…

Oh October You’ve Come Again

Oh October you’ve come again. This time of year can be particularly hard for my family as we are entering into the month that holds the painful memories of losing our Dad. This October marks 5 years. It’s hard to believe that he’s actually been gone for 5 years! It feels like it was just yesterday. For those of you….

A truly tragic day, the sunnies beaming at you in this photo are no longer! I am so sad to report that I lost them on Sunday, somewhere in Grand Rapids, wandering around Art Prize®. On another note…

Cuddy Studios

Dress for success in this beauty from @CuddyStudios. I currently own three pieces from their collection and I love each one! My favorite parts about them are their unique patterns and colors. They are all fun but still very appropriate for an office to play transition.  Check out their site here: www.CuddyStudios.com …I promise you won’t regret …

Fall Bucket List

Fall is without a doubt my favorite season and I know that I certainly do not stand alone when I say that! Everyone seems to love Fall! As I thought about why I decided that F. Scott Fitzgerald said it best when he said, “Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the Fall.”

I am currently reading Present Over Perfect written by Shauna Niequist and though I am not far along, I can tell you right now that I am so incredibly grateful for the message she has so beautifully written. Perhaps you’re wondering what it means to be present over perfect. The title is powerful and I know it certainly had me wondering. In her own…

My Lighthouse

It’s no secret that I love a pretty lighthouse so perhaps the mystery lies in the why I like them so much. It wasn’t until recently that I even found out for myself! Being a Michigan girl I’ve always loved the lake but over the course of the past few years, I’ve found an incredible sense of peace there…

Whimsical By The Water

I do not have enough words to tell you how much fun I had frolicking on the beach with this kite and my two good friends. We stumbled upon the most beautiful day in Holland, Michigan (my favorite place) and took full advantage spending most all of it outside. The tassels on my dress were perfectly whimsical for the windy day and the red color was even better as this was likely my last trip the the Big Red lighthouse for the summer. This dress was…
