Summer whites

Hi again! So yes, I’ll be popping in quite a bit more this month trying to play catch up on a bunch of summer content I’m sitting on. So for a lot of collabs lately, they’ve just been for Instagram. But we take these photos, and I only post one or two to IG, and then the rest… don’t go anywhere! So I’m going to start making sure even if I do a collaboration or a post just for Instagram to try and make it a blog post too. And I love this outfit, and wear it quite often in the summer! I’m definitely into the monochromatic outfits lately. My last post… all black. This post… all white! You have to be slightly more careful in this color than black, but it’s such a fun outfit to wear!

H&M White Wide-Leg Jeans (similar)

Favorite summer month

August, you dreamboat you! I seriously love this month. It’s definitely my favorite summer month — and it’s my second favorite month of the year. October is definitely first. I’d say August second, May third, December fourth. That way… you get each of the seasons, fall being the best, winter being the worst, but December is at least redeemable because of the holidays. LOL. These are the dumb things I think about in my head. But anyway, I’m here for this month. I can’t wait to do all the summer things, bask in all the golden hour light, get ice-cream, dive into Lake Michigan, take several road trips. It’s all happening; and I’m HERE FOR IT.

By the river

Phew! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve gotten a blog post up! This summer is absolutely flying. I’ve been so busy with everything that just trying to keep up with Instagram alone has been challenging! So I took these photos on June 9 (hahaha) so yeah, I’m a bit behind that’s for sure. I’ve been trying to get out more with my tripod, but it just takes 100x longer to shoot a post. But it’s better than nothing! And I contemplated not even posting these because it was SO humid and my hair just instantly turned to frizz, but oh well. After blogging for almost 10 years now, I realize you can’t perfect them all!

Outfit details:

Madewell The Perfect Vintage Jean in Fitzgerald Wash
Box Top Emerald Bamboo c/o Tradlands

Summer Style + Savings with DFCUPerks

Phew! It’s officially summer here in Michigan! We’ve reached 90º the last couple of days and it’s hot! When the temps change drastically like that, you quickly realize what pieces you’re missing in your closet. Since I pretty much live in jeans these days, I knew I wanted a new skirt to pair with the tops I already have. Since a new month just started (and hello new budget!), I wanted to find a deal — so I checked my DFCUPerks account to see if there were any local shopping deals! They had a 20% off coupon for Express, so I headed there to see if I could find anything… and ended up scoring this cute black denim pencil skirt! I love that it’s great for hot summer days, will pair easily with everything in my closet, and I got a great deal on it! Be sure to check out DFCUPerks! It’s a checking account that provides you with discounts to thousands of local retailers – from restaurants, clothing retailers, health services, to auto services – you name it! Keep reading to find out more + head to their website to sign up for an account!

Neighborhood flowers

Sweet, sweet summer! It’s here! I’ve been off on vacation all week, and it feel so nice to be almost 100% caught up on everything. The apartment is spotless (for a second 😆), my car is vacuumed/cleaned, my inbox is empty, my to-do list is sparse, errands are finished, and all I have to do tonight is just wrap up a few things for the blog, get groceries for the weekend, and pack for our long weekend away up north! I told myself to relax a bit more before we left for the long weekend, but eh, that’s just not my personality to sit around and do nothing. I feel much happier knowing I knocked a bunch of stuff off my list. THAT’s vacation to me. Hahaha.

How I wear white (sneakers)

The last of the blooms are out, we’re creepin up into those 70-degree days… summer is on the way! And a pair of fresh white sneaks is the perfect way to start off summer style! I recently picked up this pair of roxy Bayshore Sneakers from Famous Footwear… and I’m loving them! They’re the perfect, simple white sneaker and they are so comfortable – probably my most comfortable pair of shoes right now! So they’ll be perfect for all of our summer adventures! Road trips, riding bikes, walks to get ice-cream, I’m excited for all the fun this season brings!

Thank you to Famous Footwear for kindly sponsoring this post. All opinions are 100% honest & completely my own.
