party girl(s)


Doe eyes...costume jewels...fluffed locks...sequins...gold lobes...it must be time for a cocktail.

I turn into a pumpkin at midnight and am more commonly found in oversized sweaters (brian's favorite) but it's fun to get dolled up every once in a while. Ever present, my soph is never one to miss a party either.

When I first pulled this skirt out of the bag, Brian took one look at it and asked if I was channeling my inner-grandma. I rolled my eyes and told him he'd be singing a different tune by the end of the wedding we were attending. 



I adore this skirt by Rachel Comey because it's sophisticated, classy, sexy and unexpected. Things I aim to be and hopefully succeed at every once in a while. Open bar not withstanding...

By the end of the night I had Brian apologizing for teasing me, commenting that 
'it's all in how you wear it, and you wear it well'. I couldn't have said it better myself. Fashion is about taking that risk and putting yourself out there, and I know my (very stylish) grandma would agree.

Let's be honest, I could probably go on for days, but I won't. Except for this...an unkempt alley & a polished person (couldn't resist).

pure romance

It wasn't until the past year that I was made of aware of the wonderful lake front towns in michigan. Each one is sweeter than the next, and they're home to bed & breakfasts, breweries, and quaint downtowns. We had a wedding in St Joseph which is also known as the most romantic town in Pure Michigan, so as you can imagine, expectations were high. 


I decided to be a responsible spender and booked us at a budget friendly hotel...because nothing says romance like a sketchy hotel. Responsible spending & my wallet don't really go hand in hand, so two days before the wedding while scrolling through some interesting reviews, I got cold feet so to speak and switched to a very reasonable bed & breakfast on the lake.


The South Cliff Inn charmed me from the moment we pulled up to the lot; it's everything that makes b & b's such fun places to stay. The innkeepers are welcoming & friendly, the place is cozy & quiet, the views are insanely beautiful and the home-made breakfast was fabulous. My only regret is we couldn't partake in their wine & cheese happy hour...next time!
