UP NORTH UP A NOTCH

Last week I bought you my Casual Beach Town Looks from our time on Lake Michigan. I definitely like to keep it more casual on Vacation but in the evenings, it’s always fun to get a little more jazzed up. We really didn’t have as much opportunity to do that this year and a lot of the dresses I took went unworn. But here are 4 of the little bit dressier looks so I called it up north, up a notch, LOL!


WHITE LINEN & SLEEVELESS SWEATER

The Sweater was love at first sight! It is so darling, and I knew immediately that I would pair it with white linen pants! You cannot go wrong for 20 bucks, and it is such high-quality from Target.

PINK JACKET

Oh, my friends! It is no secret that I absolutely love the designs from the mother daughter team behind a Clara Sunwoo! Remember the blue liquid leather jacket Post I shared with you this winter. And then the dynamite jumpsuitt they gave us a Grecian Vibes, it happens to be my favorite Jumpsuit ever! But anyway, enter the jacket of my dreams! This Pink Liquid Leather is such a beautiful shade, and I was tickled pink so to say defined an old shed that antique store owner freshened up with some bright colors including a pink door and a pink flamingo on top! How fun!

NAUTICAL VIBES DRESS
This Little Number had boating and beach town written all over it! Well not technically, but with the little rope tie belt I thought it would be perfect to get pictures by the marina. I wore this out for sushi one night. It’s lined super comfy and has a little bit of a twirl factor.

BUFFALO PLAID

Oh, how I love this outfit! It got a rousing “I love it” from Mr. Nine! I shared this already on my Instagram and noted that buffalo check isn’t just for the holiday season. It’s so cute year-round! This top! I could not resist the smocking and the peplum, and the huge plus is that you can wear a regular bra with it! The Shorts are the sailor style, but they are pull on from Sophia Vergara from Walmart and such wonderful quality. I love them so much that I got them in white and they are under $25!

FRIDAY FAVORITES....VACATION EDITION

Trying to get back in the saddle this week! SOOO MUCH RAIN. I was overwhelmed to write this post because we had so much fun on vacation and so many pictures so I will probably spread it out in other posts or an entire dedicated post and today just concentrate on my most favorite part of our vacation, which was when our kids were there! And, as always, lots of other fun Friday favorites too!

  
1. Kids

While just starting their careers, it’s literally impossible to not only get all our kids but also to get them for an entire week so we settle for a couple days. But next year, they told us they’re going to try to get the whole week as they will be more established and we’re hoping all the girls can come too.

Here are a few pictures of the fun we had with our sweet kiddos!


And did we ever pack everything in that we could for them! From their favorite restaurants to hiking to great breakfasts to games on the beach to family walks, we made sure they got the most out of it.





Day they left, it was this.....sad parents!!
4 more says just Mr. Nine and I but we rocked it...


2. Cozy Earth

It’s no secret I love Cozy Earth Not only do I own a set of their amazing bamboo sheets but I own FOUR sets of their pajamas. The pink blush are my newest pair and I am so in love with the color! As always Cozy Earth and I have paired to give you one of the best promo codes of the entire year! 

Use code CECLOUDNINE for 40% off!



I think it's safe to say I LOVE Cozy Earth PJ's!!

Next week, I will be sharing a new bedding piece that I am over the moon for! So excited.

3. NSale 
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Ok, ok, I’m not even going to do a dedicated post to the sale but there are some decent finds! Hands-down, my 3 favorites of all time are my Barefoot Dreams Blanket and my favorite underwear! Bliss Cotton Briefs by Natori. I own these in six colors and I ordered a couple more pair this year because they are so good! AND The SPANX Faux Leggings...MAJOR LOVE. 

The Plush Throws make great gifts too!

So, yeah, Blankets, Undies and Spanx. GREAT DEALS ON THESE LOVES!

4 CASUAL BEACH TOWN LOOKS

I think we all want to be comfy on our Summer Beach  Vacations or even a sunny day outing but we of course, want to look cute too. Here are 4 of my more casual laid back beach town looks from last week. 

 

More on our fun annual getaway on Friday Favorites. 

 

Tassel Cutie

And Just Wait til You See the Back! 

 THIS TOP!!

I cannot say enough about it!! It’s only $13, the material is so lovely, the ruffle so cute and the bow on the back is the cutest ever!

Bucket Hat Casual

What are your thoughts on a Bucket Hat? At first I didn’t really like them but when I put it on with this outfit and did a couple braids, it just felt right! This is the most comfortable little hooded sweatshirt dress and definitely called for some Sneakers! And I pretty much found a sweet little playhouse with a pink door!

Button Up Baby

This plaid Button Up is from Kohl’s and it is so soft! I got a white one two years ago and loved it so much that I grabbed it immediately when I saw the pretty colors in this plaid! I always go up a size or two so I can knot it in front and it is just perfect. I thought it looked so cute with the Shorts.

 Ric Rac Love

You’ve seen me share this top before and talk about super excited to pull it out on Fourth of July weekend! It also comes in a plaid and the Ric Rac stole my heart. I truly loved this outfit and all the accessories with it!

 

I love keeping it casual on beach town vacations but it’s fun to take it up a notch or two and get a little dressed up in the evening. I didn’t have as many opportunities to do that this year, but next Wednesday I’ll be back with some of those up a notch looks!
