Hey friends and loved ones, sincerest apologies for the lack of updates for the past week or so. Four words: first birthday party planning! Time runs by crazy fast these days and lo and behold, Dallas is now a year old! I've been hiding out in the mom cave (haha) Pinteresting like crazy and DIYing everything down to the last detail. I'm sure my son wouldn't care or even remember the details about his birthday party, but everything had to be great! Can't wait to share his James Bond-themed party here on the blog! :)
Anyway, here's a quick-quick outfit post on something that I've been crushing hard on lately: pom-pom beanies. They're totes cute!
Hello, loves! Happy thanksgiving to each and every one of you! Even if you don't celebrate it in the traditional sense, hope you got to spend your long weekend with some fun and a little R&R (or, you know, a lot. lol). For this downtime, I'm trying to make it a mission to not think about work and business so much and you know, just eat turkey, do some reading, and just lie back and chill (definitely need to do more of that these days).
Today I'm back with a quick post about a truly exciting event I had the chance to participate in: an invitation by Marie Claire US, to shoot with them for the Detroit Edition of their Beauty Road Show section. The awesome thing was, some of my favorite Detroit fashion bloggers were invited, as well! Read on after the jump to see a sneak peek of the action!
"You can't start a new life in old clothes". This is perhaps my favorite quote and real-life sage advice from the hit septuagenarian comedy "Grace and Frankie" (you still haven't seen it?!! Open up Netflix. NOW.) This line actually applies quite literally in my own life - when we moved to the country last year, I had no choice but to sell off most of my clothes and accessories, bringing only with me the bare minimum + a smattering of things I can't part with. :( Sad, I know, but when Grace said that line in the show though, I knew it was high time to stop being so sad about it and instead, continue my quest to invest in new items that I'll come to adore.
Midtown Detroit continues to go full steam ahead as being one of the most decidedly cool spots in the whole of Michigan. While there are, of course, many other places to go and see when you're in the Mitten State, Midtown is known for it's own unique brand of cultural attractions, awesome eats, and an interesting mix of retail brands. This month, Oregon's handmade leather goods brand Will Leather Goods opens up shop right in the heart of Midtown, adding to the already impressive cachet of brands in the area.
