Hitting the Road...

...in a few hours, I will be headed towards our destination for a long weekend! I have never been to Interlochen, MI before, but I googled it and if it looks anything like this (see below), I am very excited!


We'll be staying at a family friend's lake house with friends and my Bf's family, so I think it will be lots of fun. We don't get back until Tuesday, so I am signing off for the weekend now. (I know- tough job- but somebody's got to do it!) I hope everyone has a great 4th of July holiday!!

Happy Mothers' Day!!!

Hi everyone! Sorry for the absence, but until we get internet at the house, I am stuck checking emails on my phone. We FINALLY moved into the house (after living in a hotel for a week while our stuff was being shipped) and I excited to start unpacking!!! No pictures of the inside yet, but don't worry, all you are missing is a bunch of cardboard boxes. (When I say a bunch, I mean A BUNCH. The movers said that they usually move furniture, but that our move was mostly boxes...73 boxes to be exact...and most of them were my clothes and shoes and accessories!!!)

Anyway, here is a quick shot of the house:


This lone tulip sprung up seemingly overnight near our front door...

Spring is different when you aren't in AZ... sooooo many blossoms!

More to come. I can't wait to get back to fashion posts, but I have a feeling there will be some interior design posts in the future as well. I hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

I'm Going to Need a New Wardrobe...

I need scarves and mittens and gloves and long underwear and layers and sweaters made of fabrics more substantial than cotton.....

I am moving to Michigan. From Arizona. On May 1st. What am I doing?!?!

I feel remiss concerning my lack of posting, but I have been a bit occupied with lots of freaking out, deciding what to pack, freaking out, making lists, freaking out, getting nostalgic, and a little more freaking out. I am excited to live somewhere new...but does it have to be so...new?

The Bf got a promotion, so we are headed to the Detroit area for about 2 yrs.... after which, anything could happen, so there are about a million plans running through my head at any given moment. Most of them concerning wardrobe issues, naturally ;) Anyway, enough of my disjointed sentences, on to the good stuff- pictures! (hehe). Here are a few snaps from my recent visit to the balmy, glamorous town of Detroit:

The view of the Detroit River and Canada from my hotel room


The Renaissance Center (everyone calls it the RenCen)


The Detroit River Walk offered me a brisk jaunt to look at icy waters and the Ambassador Bridge (Hi again, Canada)


Ice? I thought that stuff comes out of the freezer....?


I found some greenery, too, don't worry!


While driving around Royal Oak, I stumbled upon a grilled cheese sandwich at Cafe Muse. Apparently, the peeps at the Oprah Show liked it as much as I did (read here)?

No trip would be complete without shopping (for me anyway) and I found this adorable bee brooch at a vintage shop called Lost and Found.

So there's my news. I should probably get back to packing, but I have some of my favorite blogs to read! Happy Friday to everyone-- have a great weekend!
