Happy Monday! I'm glad for a new week. This weekend's weather was kind of crummy and put me into a sad, lazy funk. And right now it's only 84º but holy moly, it's a freaking jungle out there. Like, no point at all in attempting to blow-dry and curl your hair with the humidity. The second you step outside, it just goes POOF. So I'm going to take the week/weekend off likely from taking photos, wrap up the photos/content I do have, enjoy the long holiday weekend (and last unofficial weekend of summer) and then we're off to Phoenix for a long weekend! Once we're back from that trip, it'll definitely start to feel like autumn here in Michigan and I'm ready. Ready for a change, for a new season.

Well... summer feels like it's wrapping up! I know we have a good month left, but there's definitely a transitional shift going on right now. The mornings and evenings are getting cooler, the days are getting shorter. It's completely dark by 9pm now, where just a few weeks ago, it felt like it was light out until 10pm almost! I absolutely love summer, and this summer was one of the best, but I can't help but get excited for autumn. It's my favorite season! But for right now, I'm enjoying my favorite summer month and trying to make the most of every moment while it's here.

After stripping my wardrobe of everything red last year, I saw this top on Madewell and instantly loved it, so I went for it! A while back now, I went through The Curated Closet (which I loved) and dreamt of my closet and color palette, and red wasn't really part of it at the time. I've always worn red (and have liked red!) but typically overall I gravitate toward earthy colors and neutrals and less toward primary colors. But I definitely need to make an exception for red... because I really love this color, how I feel in it, and how it looks (especially in my adventures around Michigan). It's just a color that feels right, and sometimes you just have to go with what feels right!

Anyone else getting excited for fall? I definitely have it on my mind! While I’m not wishing summer away, I always love shopping and getting ready for the new season. Fall is my favorite time to dress! Plus, I always like the challenge of incorporating some of my favorite summer pieces into fall. Today I’m sharing two looks featuring summer-favorite shoes from the madden NYC line from Kohl’s! Both of these styles will transition into so many autumn outfits. Plus, they’re having some really great sales, so be sure to head over and check it out.
