Over a year ago, we each purchased these fantastic Banana Republic Heels. We can hardly resist wearing them with many of our outfits and continue to get compliments on them every time we have them on. Because of the high request as to where they are from, we decided to search for the closest “look-alike.” Unfortunately BR no longer sells them. We also love the “nude” look. The color is versatile and classic. Therefor we found a favorite pair of peeps in the nude. Do you have a favorite pair of shoes you would like to share with us?

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to spend the day and evening on the water in beautiful West Michigan. We left port in the afternoon and enjoyed the warm day and beautiful views. Later that night we enjoyed a fantastic meal, cocktails, music, and a moon-lite cruise. One more memory for the books.
Because we all appreciate outfits that are stunning yet transitional we did a continuation of our Day to Night Wear. We have added a short and long dress with accessories that can easily be paired with either. We both have agreed that Maxi dresses are a staple in our closets and love the versatility of them. So, splurge and enjoy these cover-ups by day and dresses by night.

A few weeks ago, we got together with some of our closest friends for a couples dinner overlooking Lake Michigan. The night was perfect. Feeling the warm air. Listening to the sound of crashing waves. Watching the sailboats race and the sunset. Dancing under the stars and laughing by the outdoor fireplace. It’s moments like this that make me appreciate our family, our friends and the beautiful place we live!
We are fortunate live in a town with many marinas and the beautiful beaches of Lake Michigan.

This Fourth of July could not have been a more perfect day for us! We were fortunate to have been able to spend the entire day/night with our families together. The beautiful day was filled with sunshine, a homemade slip-n-slide, summer cocktails, children laughing, boating activities, a perfect meal, s’mores by the fire and, of course, fireworks! Many smiles throughout the day to add to the book of memories!
We wish you all a Happy Independence Day and hope it was just as memorable as ours!

We all have our favorite stores that we tend to spend most of our time at. Jen and I love boutique’s for finding unique pieces. We especially enjoy shopping at a fantastic boutique right here in our town, Lee and Birch! They carry many popular brands and some very unique and hard to find names. They do an amazing job of keeping up with the current trends and classics. Lee and Birch just recently launched there own website/ online store. Check it out and Happy Shopping!!
We all have a “wild side” or at least like to think we do. I often love to change my look depending upon my mood at the moment. Regardless of the differences in my looks, I still like to keep it classy. Can a “rocker” also be “classy”? I say why not! Below is yet another little black dress to dress up. Once again, this LBD can be worn with several personalities!
