Savoring Summer

On any given weekend if you head up north Michigan the streets are filled with people, and when you have a long weekend you better be ready for busy beaches and waiting in line for ice cream. However the sparkling water, nostalgic shops and gorgeous sunsets make the trips worth it.  Here are some of the highlights from my trip exploring Ludington:

-Walking downtown Ludington, getting ice cream and enjoying the unique shops.
– Barbecuing on the beach.
– Getting a hole-in-one playing putt-putt.
–  Breath taking sunsets.
– Moonlight movies on the beach.

Happy Labor Day

Off to Lake Michigan.

I am currently savoring the last days of summer soaking up rays in Ludington along Lake Michigan. With a bit of luck I will return home with some new clothes from Birch Run (an outlet mall) that we’ll pass along the way. Hope you are having a great long weekend, and I will be back tomorrow with lots to share.

Crave or Save: Polka Dot Chambray

Chambray has been all the rage throughout summer, and the trend is sticking strong as we head into fall. I personally do not like how I look in a collared button up shirt, so this trend wasn’t something I even considered. That is until I saw Reese Witherspoon is the cutest polka dotted chambray top.  It looks like her top was from J.Crew, but with a $88 price tag for a shirt I may only wear a handful of times I am going with Old Navy’s bolder polka dotted chambray that I will fade myself. Which top do you prefer?

Gilded

Between seasons can be tricky when it comes to picking polish colors. Not ready for the vampy varnish, and neon just doesn’t seem suitable. Linking the two seasons is easier than you think. Start with a bright polish base and top with a gilded touch for the perfect summer to fall accessory.
