Goodbyes

One of my first thoughts when Laura told me she and Steve were moving to Nashville was "CRAP!" Who's going to take our photos now? Every time we try to let our husbands take the photos there's weird shadows or a arm cut off our body. That being said, Laura & Steve officially left the mitten state this morning. I stopped by her place to give her a quick gift and say a quick goodbye. I hate goodbyes, so usually the quicker the better, like pulling off a bandaid. I tear up every time I think about my best friend moving & being so far away, but I think this will be a great experience for the two of them and a good learning experience for us & the blog.
I can't wait to visit you both in Tenessee and re-live our childhood adventures <3
Thanks for always being my 'Brother'

Travel Tuesday: Plane Ready

One of the most important elements in traveling (in my opinion) is what you wear/bring on the plane! I have a usual go-to outfit now that I'm always jet setting different places. I almost always wear leggings or comfortable jeans because they're practical and still look decent in case you run into someone you might know. A loose shirt is a must paired with a nice quality scarf. I can't tell you how many times I've used my scarf as a pillow or blanket on flights to make them a little more bearable. I personally like wearing boots with wool socks because I know my feet will get cold, but it's more convenient to wear ballet flats to slip on and off at security checkpoints. I like to wear a real watch so I can keep track of how long we've been in the air for. Some electronics make it difficult to track since you're usually changing timezones. And last but not least, a good bag that can fit my Mac, snacks, headphones  and a good book to keep me occupied on the flight. Here are a few of my favorites:

Sweater / Leggings / Boots / FOSSIL Bag / Kate Spade watch / Banana Republic scarf

I want to hear what your go-to airport outfit is! Any tricks of the trade?

Modest Beach Style

Springs and summers in west Michigan are truly beyond compare. We are extremely lucky to have been raised minutes away from Pere Marquette Beach where we can take a dip in Lake Michigan whenever we please. Well, at least between the months of June and August. 

Although we still love the white sandy beaches of Muskegon, our taste in swimwear has certainly changed over the years. With age comes modesty. We absolutely adore our swimwear from Lime Ricki and can confidently stroll around the beach feeling comfortable in our own skin. Their swimsuits are flattering, versatile, and timeless. Click here to see how we styled our Lime Ricki swimwear last year.

 There's nothing quite like that first silent moment in the sun where you can feel the sun on your skin, the sand between your toes, and hear the waves crashing on the shore. We are so fortunate to have all of this so close to home.

Enjoy that brilliant sunshine, everyone!
