Sparrow Fashion Show

Saturday night I attended the Sparrow fashion show & pop-up shop with my friend Kaitlyn (not to be confused with Katelyn).  She stopped over at my place and we headed out to Eve at the B.O.B. downtown.  If you recall, I showed some of my favorite Sparrow pieces in a January post here. They have fun, unique, bold and bright pieces that I'm sure you'll all love.

The show was fabulous and well-executed.  I personally loved all of the work-inspired with a little bit of edginess pieces that were featured toward the beginning.  The girls all rocked it and it was a blast.
After enjoying a couple glasses of wine, Kaitlyn snapped some outdoor photos on the blue bridge, where I seemed to blend right in with the background.

Thanks Sparrow for putting on such a great event.  I had a lovely time and look forward to more pop-up shops around town!

GRSCC

Last night Katelyn and I attended the Grand Rapids Social Charity Club event at the Grand Woods Lounge, benefiting Ele's Place of Grand Rapids. I still can't get over how great it is to be living in the city again and being able to attend after-work events. There is just so much to love about Grand Rapids.

While at the Grand Woods Lounge, we ordered my all-time favorite appetizers: the southwestern spring rolls and the calamari. I could eat these for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. SO delicious. Katelyn was impressed, too.

Crappy, cold weather aside, I hope you all have a great weekend! Steven and I will be working on more wedding plans and putting some finishing touches on high-priority needs. It'll be a relief when we get this stuff out of the way.

xoxo,
Laura & Katelyn

Rainy Day Grillin'

Yesterday Laura came over to my house and I grilled some brats and corn for us while we jammed out to NEEDTOBREATH. It was raining the whole time, but thankfully our grill is only two steps out our back door.

Travel Tuesday: Granada + A Perfect Travel Companion



I can't believe these were daily sights while I lived in Granada. Besides the bestest of friends, my other travel companion was the perfect bag. It had to have a zipper that completely closed--I love Europe, but you can never be too careful. In some big cities pick-pocketers are so talented you won't even know it happened. Here are some cute bags that I would take with me anywhere:
