FRIDAY FAVORITES...LET THE CHILL TIME BEGIN

This girl is kind of checked out today because tomorrow is one of my favorite days of the whole year! You know what I’m talking bout, enjoy the 4th festivities and let’s get to the favorites!

1. Pearl Stud Earrings

I'll be wearing these Perfect Pearl Stud Earrings

all week long on the beach while I am chillin'! These little stud earrings compliment any Summer outfit and are so darling. These dainty little cuties are sweet, sophisticated and simple. The stunning Akoya Pearls are totally enchanting and luminous in the sunlight especially.

They are perfect for some earring sweetness by the pool or at the beach and the perfect amount of luster. I love these Gorgeous Diamond Studs too.

so cute!

DAY IN THE LIFE

On Monday, on Instagram stories, I shared an ordinary summer day in the life in collaboration with Liverpool!! These are just a couple of the darling Liverpool outfits I wore that day showcasing my best life in good ole’ Indiana! I saved the stories entitled “Day In The Life” in a highlight if you want to check them out in my profile.

This outfit is beyond comfortable, I love the fit and feel of the white tee and these Linen Pants are everything I live for in the summer!

Threw on the cutest white cotton blouse from Liverpool with a hat and jeans to run some errands.

Dr. Martens or as we used to refer to them, “Doc” Martens! Oh my goodness you guys, I have not owned a pair of these in years! I recently got a pair of Voss Leather Strap Sandals in white and I am in love! Dr. Marten’s continues to be such a high-quality shoe brand! Love owning a pair of sandals and I think they are going to look super cute with a white bucket hat and a little summer dress. Like walking on Clouds!!

BEACH PANTS & CROP TOPS

This outfit was created completely surrounding the beach hat! Yes, I seem to be keeping the theme of crop tops this week since my post on Monday! But I have to admit I am loving them! My mom saw this beach hat from Target sitting in my closet and immediately when she saw it, as she knew I was taking it on vacation, knew the perfect beach pants to go with it! She surprised me with them for my birthday. I love them so much and I decided to make an entire vacation outfit out of them with a simple little white crop top!

 

I love the Wild Fable ones from Target. 

This outfit is cool and comfortable! I will get a lot of good out of each piece!

And I am so in love with the embellished Sam Edelman Sandals!

I LOVE VACATION.....A RE-CAP and LINK-UP

Oh Vacation how I love thee. Today, several of The Blended Blog ladies and myself are discussing our favorite vacations with a blog hop and Link-Up, which was perfect timing for me as we recently returned from our annual family vacation to our favorite town in the whole wide world on Lake Michigan. So excited to bring you a recap of what is my favorite week every year, where the 5 of us get to relax, eat, beach it, chill, laugh and make up for all the crazy business of life!!

Our first night out on the deck to watch the sunset. Even brought my favorite blankie!

I do not want these two to go back to college in a month.

We always try to find at least one new restaurant, one new thing to do and make it a priority to not be on a schedule and sleep in!!! What a luxury that this lady hardly ever gets. 
This year we tried a few new places. I had a hankering for a hot dog and considering I only eat hot dogs once or twice a year, I knew FrankZ would be the place to cure that craving. Plus their fries were voted the best in Northern Michigan and oh how they were!

One night we went to an awesome distillery out in the middle of nowhere. The entertainment were these two darling sisters. I knew I'd love them when the first song they belted out was "Jolene!" And hello Strawberry slushies with fresh strawberries and their homemade vodka...so good. Oh and the cherry on top..an Taco Truck!! Great night!!

July 4th is a big deal in this small beach town and the parade is like no other. People line the streets decked out in their best red, white and blue.

Still thinking about that hot dog....if you look close that's giant hot dog in the back of the truck behind me.

July 4th dinner night!


Beach time is of corse the BEST time!

Hello Beautiful Beach weather!!

It is a tradition to go out on the pier every year add get pictures by the lighthouse.
The boats were sending up some serious crashing waves which the boys loved.

Tenkara rod fishing but no luck. It's the experience, not the fish, lol

Now this was a fun time! My husband has a Ford Raptor and we were able to Baha a bit in the sand where most cars couldn't get too. Came out of the dunes with a little mud on the tires, just the way we like it!

A bench on this beach is how we found this town years ago. I will devote a whole post to the story sometime as it is precious...

.....Just like my precious family!

Mr. Nine and I get a little emotional when we have to leave as we love having us all together and we know this time may be fleeting when they have families of their own. We hope that with the families they start of their own someday, they will continue to come here with us year after year.

Adore this crew!
