Happy March everyone! I am super excited to share this post because I am featuring a vest that I have been wearing non-stop! It has been so fun to wear with everything from jeans to leather pants to the fun leggings in the pictures up top. The vest is…

The First Snowfall

Yay!!! The first snow of the season! Though nothing has stuck to the ground or the trees, the first snowfall of the season is always so magical! It has been unseasonably warm here in Michigan so this has been greatly anticipated. I have…

Fav Scarf in my Fav Place

Welcome to my happy place! Holland, Michigan. In my opinion, Holland is beautiful during any and all seasons. I love being by the water and I’ve learned that I’m happiest when I’m at the Lake! Though it’s no longer beach weather here in the mitten, it is still breathing taking. I love bundling up with a scarf and taking in the views…

So Long Sunnies

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 PrizeĀ®. On another note…

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…

Back 2 Blonde

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not one to use hair products that you can find at the drugstore. I love being a natural blonde and I’ve always been fearful that anything I pick up might turn my hair orange or take away from that natural color that it (for the most part) still holds! I admit that I am totally weird about my hair and for that reason I only use products selected or given to me by my hair stylist, Angie. Angie rocks and she has been cutting my hair since I first had little hairs to cut! I by no means think that my hair is too good for drug store products, it’s just that my hair knowledge is very limited and I trust my hair dresser far more than I trust myself in that department. My friends in college used to tell me that I had “virgin hair” for reference! I know that Angie will never lead me astray and therefore, I will never end up with orange or damaged hair. So anyways, that was a little background about how anal I am about my hair. It really just comes down to the fact that I prefer a more natural look and do my best to keep it that way…

Monday Maxi

I tend to wear my sunnies on and off and truthfully, more times than not, prefer to go without! They usually end up on top of my head and occasionally I put them on my eyes. With that said, be prepared to only be seeing sunnies for a little while! Last Thursday I woke up with what I thought were terrible allergies. When I looked in the mirror it occurred to me that I had a lot bigger problem than just some allergies! My eyes had swelled to the point of barely being able to see. I looked SO SCARY and honestly, really funny. I wish I was brave enough to share the picture because it really is worth a good laugh. As it turns out, I had pink eye in both eyes. Super unfortunate. I’m no longer contagious and I feel fine but my eyes are weirdly still a bit swollen. So anyways, if anyone is looking for an amazing pair of sunglasses (to hide pink eye or simply to just wear), click the link up top because I absolutely love the ones I am wearing from Tory Burch…
