vintage shorts

IMG_6993

If you have been following me for awhile you already know my obsession with my moms old clothes from the 80s-90s. Well these shorts are just another addition to my collection of her old things :) They are so super cool. They are way high waisted, they have a great cut and they are decked out in pearls! They are my kinda shorts!

white eyelet dress & a puppy

IMG_6965

This dress is one of my summer staples…it’s funny how I don’t think I have ever shown it on the blog. I got it last summer and I totally regret not buying it in other colors. Oh well you live and you learn.

My poor Tucky is having an allergic reaction to something right now. I don’t know if you can tell but he’s all red and itchy :( Poor baby. I feel helpless.

floral maxi

IMG_6858

Remember when you were a kid and your parent would buy you something just because? It was usually a toy or candy. From day one my mother has always bought me clothes or shoes as surprises…and I just so happen to be lucky enough to have a mother that still does <3 I couldn’t have been more excited when my mother surprised me with this floral maxi skirt. It is amazing!

what I wore to a fashion gala

IMG_6828

I thought I would share what I wore to the FASH Bash gala last week. FASH Bash isn’t your typical fashion show, it is an upscale fashion gala at the DIA so I went a little more sophisticated and dressy then I would for a usual fashion show.

my weekend

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I had not one but two weddings this weekend…in the same day. One morning ceremony in Grand Haven and thankfully an evening wedding in Charlevoix. Sunday we relaxed and strolled through Charlevoix…such a cute little town. I have to say it was a nice little weekend soaking in the lasts of summer :)

just a lil bit busy

Sorry for my lack of posting lately. I have been up to my ears busy. Fall is always a busy time because there is so much fashion events going on which means lots of auditions and castings and events. I promise to get some outfit posts up soon..truth be told I haven’t been getting ready lately. My daily outfits consist of shorts and sweaters or sweatshirts i.e not exciting. But here are some photos from Instagram of all the things I have been up to!

old navy polka dot sweater

IMG_6789
I really couldn’t be more in love with this old navy polka dot sweater. In my opinion, it’s the perfect sweater. It’s light but not too thin, it’s cotton and it’s polka dot! And since the temps have dropped here in Michigan it was the perfect compliment to my boyfriend jeans. With a pop of color in the ‘blogger’ necklace plus my new favorite pumps and this could be my go to outfit for fall!
