FRIDAY FAVORITES...WATER EDITION

It was a very sweet summer week! Temps are finally cooling down for the weekend and Even my Dental Check-Up went smoothly! As we swing into August, my hope is that you’re savoring all Summer still has to offer.


1. Kayaking Day

Instead of doing a whole post on our summer vacation, I’m adding in bits and pieces to Friday favorites! Today I share a kayaking day on the trip! Thank goodness that by Friday, the rain had finally broke after 2 days and we were super excited to do one of our favorite kayaking adventures. Northern Michigan is absolutely abundant and fabulous Lakes! Lower Herring Lakes is one of our favorite because what appears as a lake, soon turns into a little pine tree filled inlet that dumped out in the beautiful lake Michigan! The search for Petoskey stones and walking along the beach is so fun! It’s in chanting and there’s hardly ever anybody there! The truck back was pushing against waves and wind, and it was quite the work out but well worth it!




2. Flower Fields and Sweet Walks

I just love fun little adventures. Mom and I went to a local farm where it's you cut flowers! They had sunflowers; just look at the varieties, zinnias and cosmos. The sweet owner was kind enough to take this picture of mom and I but look at my silly hat, LOL! And most of the time I walk in my neighborhood, so it was nice to go back to moms and go for a walk in her neighborhood as well!



One of our local cities is also really revitalizing its area and I especially love the Riverwalk. My dear friend Shelby and I had a coffee date and great walk and talk. And today I am going on another sweet walk with a friend! Walking with someone else just makes the time go so much faster!

4. Tankini and Cover Up

On Wednesday, I shared with you some fabulous outfits from White House Black market. Some of you might not know that they also have amazing swimwear and coverups! The fit is so fabulous of all these items and will make you feel confident. I got a simple black tankini top in a halter style which is always flattering and the Cover-Up with the sweet black tassels, tropical print complete with a leopard on it is so pretty. (on sale items!!)

NATURE

Coral Creme Drop Phlox

These perennials are some of my favorites for two reasons, the color and the smell, it’s absolutely delightful!

Just look how my bubble gum petunias are cascading along the stairs.

The moonflowers finally bloomed. They only bloom once and it’s in the evening and at night, they’re part of the morning glory family

STYLES SO SWEET

Whether you are at the beach, in a field of fresh flowers, in front of your house or at a wedding or bridal shower, White House Black Market always has you covered in style for every season! I thought all these styes were so sweet and feminine.



When I put on this darling pink peplum top and cute Jean Shorts and grabbed my great new Adorable Tote, all from WHBM, I had no idea that it would end up matching some sunflowers in a farm cut flowers field we went to. Don’t worry, I saved the beautiful white espadrilles from white house black market just for pictures. It was a little muddy in the field thank goodness I took shoes, but I didn’t care I’ve got dirty. I’m going to keep these beloved white espadrilles pristine. Are the laser cut outs just gorgeous!

You know I’m a sucker for cute sleeves and these three-quarter length sleeves on this beautiful black and white striped Wrap Top are just the perfect puff! White House Black Market does details so sweetly! And these Jeans are everything! Telling you what, of every cut of jeans, I think a flare Jean is the most flattering. And it doesn’t have to be a big flare, just a simple little flare out is perfect. These dark wash jeans happen to have a belt as well which is so darn cute! And obviously I love laser cut out on any shoes! They are so back in style and so beautifully crafted. These black and white pumps had me swooning!

This lovely in lavender look had me wanting to get photos in the lavender fields! But their darn open hours are during the heat of the day and not a good time for photos, so I opted for in front of my bubble gum petunias instead, LOL! I am swooning over this jacket! It is the most beautiful shade. The dress and the shoes are also from White House Black Market! This is the sweetest little dress; it’s lined it flows so nicely and I love the tassel waist ties. And let’s talk about these shoes! They may be my most favorite pair ever from WHBM!

BLOOMING FANTASTIC

It was pure love at first sight when I saw this dress! And of course, I had to have the Pink Braided Sandals to go!! Last week I showed you the beautiful White Bomber Jacket outfit from White House Black Market. As I recall, I have often shopped WHBM for special occasion dresses and they remain staples my closet. I’ll never forget one year; we went to a White House Black Market in Vegas and I tried on the most beautiful strapless dress and twirled in front of the mirror for all the ladies feeling like a princess. Mr. Nine bought me that dress and matching shoes and jewelry on spot! And I still have that dress. This one, I will probably keep forever as well because I’m so in love!



 I mean the colors alone sold me, but the fit is incredible, the pleats at the bottom also make this one so twirl worthy!

The flowering trees were blooming in full at my moms and she snapped some amazing photos.


Everyone else must’ve been mesmerized by this dress as well because the style I’m wearing is sold out, but there are other great styles available of course. Their Summer Sneak Peek just launched! And ooooh la la! So good! They always have fabulous sunnies too. LOVE this navy pair I have on.


You can bet you’ll find a fantastic Dress no matter what you need it for at White House Black market! I love This onethis pink One and this Floral one.




And today is my day to share Spring Styles like this lovely dress over on Instagram and you'll want to make sure to join in on the fun and follow all these fabulous ladies!

WHITE BOMBER BEAUTY

 

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been a fan of White House Black Market forever! We have a store about 35 minutes away and I always love browsing through there. I shopped them often when I was in the professional world, but they are really catering to everything from casual to dressy now, so it’s a win-win for everyone!


Let’s just say I fell head over heels in love with the sheer sleeve White Bomber Jacket! The cut and fit are fabulous but let’s talk about those sleeves! To me, the sleeves take this cute bomber to paradise!



Literally, everything I have on is WHBM. Their Jetsetter Teess come in so many colors and flow so nicely, these high waisted Sculpting Crop Jeans are in the greatest denim rinse, a little bit reminiscent of the 1980s. 


The side bow suede Booties are a great seasonal transition and so comfortable. Not to mention, they have amazing accessories like this beautiful leather Necklace and Bracelet, both in the Biscotti color.



I truly can see styling this Bomber Jacket so many different ways. It is just so much fun! If you have a shot White House Black Market a while, get over there and introduce yourself because their pieces are so high quality an incredible, and if you’ve never shop them, you’re going to want to because these pieces stay in your closet forever, so timeless!

FRIDAY FAVORITES...HASTA LA VISTA JANUARY

Well, it’s safe to say the week didn’t necessarily start out great when you’re blocked for four days on Instagram for doing nothing but leaving a comment! Obviously, they were in error and when Instagram is part of your work for your blog brand, it sucks. And please my dear friends, if I didn’t return a comment or comment on your post, I am truly sorry! However, on an up note, not being on Insta was alas refreshing and I got to enjoy a 3 1/2 hour brunch on Tuesday with my dear friend Connie! I am not even going to go into why this was such a yucky month because I think the whole week just had a sad cloud over it because of the loss of legend Kobe Bryant and his beautiful daughter! All nine people on that helicopter were amazing and it was just such a tragedy. All tragedies are sad and matter but because Kobe was such a prominent figure and such an inspiration to so many people, his platform can move forward even in death. And I hope everyone has hugged their loved ones a little tighter.

1. Last Minute Day Date
Day Dates are always a good thing and sometimes even better when they’re last minute. We didn’t really have anything going on this past weekend and Mr. Nine said let’s go to Chicago, but I didn’t think he was serious so I kind of blew him off and then a little while later he hollered at me to go get a late lunch. At the last minute, he changed his mind where we would be going, and we took a little trek an hour and 20 minutes north to one of our favorite breweries. Little did we know, it was their 12th anniversary and they were offering free fries, yes! We also happened to drive right by Trader Joe’s so Mr. Nine indulged me in a quick stop and stock up!


2. The INKEY List Skincare
I talked about this amazing skin care on my Instagram stories last week and I just want to mention it here on the blog because the price point is so dang good! I first heard about the skin care line, The Inkey List, when my blog friends and I were on Windy City Live in December and I immediately ordered some from Sephora. All their single products are under $10 and so far, I’ve tried the Hyaluronic Acid, the Caffeine Eye Cream and the Retinol. I absolutely love all three. Sephora said they can’t keep the caffeine eye cream in stock, it’s that good! And these products are all part of the Clean at Sephora products with only clean ingredients.

4. Blush Pink Moto Jacket
Can you believe this is the first time I wore this beautiful blush color Moto jacket out in public? I remember showing it to you in the Maurice’s dressing room a few months ago and I can’t believe I wasn’t wearing it until now. It goes with my snakeskin booties so well.

SCRIPTURE CARDS 
My dear Shelly from The Queen In Between must’ve known I was in desperate need of something meaningful this week and it was this beautiful scripture cards to the rescue! Aren’t these the cutest thing where you can change your Bible verse each day for motivation and I’ve set them up in my office. Love the cute little gingham on the edge and reminders of God‘s grace and love.

SWEET SUIT
Look at the summer vibes these cute swimsuits give off! And here’s a cute story. My Mr. Nine saw these on Vneyard Vines Instagram page and immediately said there’s Annie right there, she could create this look up on vacation this summer at the beach. I thought that was the sweetest thing and when we found out that this collection drops at Vineyard Vines on February 24, Mr. Nine even told Alexa to remind us, LOL!


Helps me dream of NO MORE DREARINESS. So, here’s to all the sunny and sweet vibes this weekend!
