Loving Lilac.

I've never considered myself a purple person, but lately I've been loving lilac. It's surprisingly a versatile hue- fun for summer, but I can see myself wearing the shade through fall. My favorite way to sport the hue is painting my nails the pretty color or wearing my David Yurman amethyst ring! How do you wear lilac?

This weekend was spent tasting wines and exploring Traverse City. Such a cute city with lots to do- I can't believe it was my first time visiting! We had so much fun visiting all the different wineries and learning the process to making wine. Can't wait to share the bottles I brought back! More pictures to come soon...

Rain, Rain Go Away!

Contrary to this post title I actually do enjoy a good rain storm from time to time. In fact, falling asleep to thunder is my preferred method of sleeping. With the right rain gear (aka cute rain boots + umbrella) a summertime storm isn't always a nuisance...unless of course there was a beach day in the works!

Daydreaming of heading over to J.Crew or my mecca Nordstrom to do some serious damage...

Front doors are the first impression your house makes on a guest. They should have character & charm with a fun coat of paint, stylish door knocker and {of course} topiaries on either side. Do you like the idea of a colorful front door? What color would you choose for your home?

Loving these paint colors. The beige paint dabs above would make a cute framed picture.
