Sparrow Grand Opening

Last night was the Sparrow Grand Opening event in Muskegon from 5:30-7:30. As soon as I arrived I was delighted to see so many shoppers in attendance. Ladies were trying on clothing, sipping on wine, and snacking on food from Verdoni's. I was thrilled to see so many people out supporting Muskegon local business. It was also great seeing Kristin from Everythings Always Sunny!

I, of course, had to try some things on for myself while I was there. How could I not?

The event was a blast and I was ecstatic to be there. If you're ever in the Muskegon area, make sure to pay a visit to Sparrow and say hi to Kristi! She has put her heart and soul into this boutique and has certainly deserved all the success she gets. 

Support local!

Sparrow Boutique // Muskegon, MI

Our hometown of Muskegon is home to one of our favorite boutiques, Sparrow. Kristi, the shop owner, started her business as a fresh and fun e-commerce store with women's clothing and accessories. She recently opened a brick and mortar in Muskegon that showcases the modern and classic styles that are truly, uniquely Sparrow. We particularly love how all of the merchandise fits the 'working girl' panache. The clothing offered is great for transitioning from office to evening.

This Wednesday, December 10th, Sparrow will celebrate the grand opening of their new, larger space. We're looking forward to attending and shopping until we drop.

You may recall when Laura posted about the Sparrow Fashion Show in downtown Grand 

Rapids back in May. You can check it out here.

We absolutely love how Sparrow also supports the local community by carrying products made in Michigan. What's even better? They also carry fair trade accessories that are hand-crafted to help rescue, educate, empower and employ victims of sex-trafficking.

We hope to see our local friends at the Sparrow Grand Opening tomorrow night!

Wolverine FNO

The 2014 Wolverine Fashion's Night Out event was a few weeks ago. This year it was hosted at Grand Rapids Brewing Co. with co-hosts Tieka of Selective Potential (who hosted last year) along with social influencer Ryan Slusarzyk.  Since this year consisted of both men and women, the room was packed wal-to-wall full of bloggers, fashion enthusiasts, flashing cameras, plethora of delicious appetizers, and craft beer. You just can't beat that. Well, yes you can. With free Wolverine boots, which we also were given. Perfect evening. 

Unfortunately Katelyn and I were so preoccupied with catching up with old friends that neither of us took many photos. Most of the photos you see are from Kaitlyn of Artisan Happiness, Melissa of The Bees Knees, and Tieka of Selective Potential.
The rest of the crappy quality photos are taken from my iPhone.

It's safe to say my Wolverine shoe collection is growing. :) Thanks so much for having us again, Wolverine!

Laura's Country Chic Bachelorette Party

This past weekend was my surprise bachelorette party and it was incredible. I started off the weekend early with a spa appointment thanks to Katelyn. :) She got me a one hour Swedish massage to kick-start the festivities. After my hour of nirvana, I went home to pack before Katelyn picked me up around 6. We headed out and I still had no idea where we were going. As we headed south, a few different locations came to mind, but we passed each and every one that I thought could be a possibility. We finally parked it at Worthenbury Country House in Baroda, MI where my mom and sister were prepping for the party. Although the official party wasn't scheduled to start until Saturday morning, we settled in and had dinner and drinks. My friend Sarah even drove in that evening from Chicago. I already knew the weekend was going to be 100% perfect.

The rest of the gang showed up the following morning and we conversed over mimosas until our ride picked us all up around 11:30am for an exclusive wine tour through Southwest Michigan. We visited Hickory Creek Winery, Round Barn Winery, Gravity, and Lemon Creek Winery. 

 

My sister worked so hard to make this the perfect weekend for me and I'm so grateful for all she did. My mom was also a huge help and I don't know what I'd do without them. They have been the best during this very stressful and chaotic wedding planning process.

So grateful for the people in my life and moments like these. Thank you to everyone who made this past weekend such a dream. I'm so very blessed.

Cheers to an amazing weekend with my favorite ladies!
