Coffee, clothes and condo life These 3 things basically sum up our recent trip to Florida. Morning walks to get coffee, me sporting all the new Spring style I can, and relaxing with the family in this marble filled, mirror water front condo. Grandma and Grandpa, Lillian’s great grandparents, were kind enough to let us

Midi Skirt Mini Print
Mini Floral Print Midi Skirt Pleated skirts have always held a special place in my heart. It’s most likely from my catholic school uniform and cheerleading days. But something about the pleats make it feel a little more dressy to me. I also enjoy that black floral prints have stayed around. I’m seeing more and

Rust Red Tank Dress
Rust Red Tank Dress This rust red color has stuck around into the Spring and Summer styles, and I love it! I really leaned into the rust and copper clothing colors last Fall. It seems like they will be sticking around for at least another few seasons too. I also love a tank dress for

Montana: Red Lodge
Day two of our Montana trip left us with the first half of the day to eat, relax, and explore the streets of Red Lodge. I was so fascinated by this giant wooden bear sculpture, I had to take some pics with him. *Also saw a giant moose made the same way as we left

Montana: Mountain Views
For months I’d known that we had a wedding coming up in the rural mountains of Montana. I’d seen the pictures of the mountains on the bride-to-be’s Instagram. One of which she simply captioned “The picture doesn’t do it justice.” Yeah yeah, the mountains are gorgeous, take a pic etc etc. But she’s SO right!

Charleston, SC – Downtown

Nothing like working all those knots out of my muscles after a 15 hour drive and before another 15 hour drive. What a perfect start to a couple days of sightseeing in

The Happy Place
Recently I took a trip back down to Chicago to visit the pop up experience The Happy Place. It’s basically a blogger’s paradise. Instagramland if you will. A warehouse installation with several different rooms full of fun and colorful photo ops! Obviously, I had to check it out before it’s last day, September 3rd, 2018.

Mini-Moon in Lake Geneva
Gregory and I were married at the end of August 2015, during the few months out of the year when the Midwest weather is nice and warm. (Full wedding post here!) Might not be a time to fly away to a tropical honeymoon. We wanted to wait for when we really needed a break

Lauren Exploring a Lavender Farm
~Lauren Exploring a Lavender Farm~ Last summer my husband and I did some exploring of our new home state and drove up to Door County, Wisconsin. We found the loveliest bed and breakfast called the Double S Lodge (See my B&B pics here). Then we ventured even further north to Washington Island, WI. On this
