Brett and I took a scoot ride downtown today to grab some ice-cream, walk on Chinook Pier and play on the little playground located next to the antique train station. It was such perfect weather! Tons of people out on the boardwalk and really cute puppies! Ah, I was swooning all night! I've been so stressed with work, so it's just really awesome to come home to Grand Haven, hang out with Brett, scoot around town and just relax and enjoy a summer evening. I feel better already. Plus! As soon as I click post tonight, I'm actually headed to bed. 11:30?! I knowww! I'm on top of it today!
At the ice-cream shop tonight, I got a boardwalk turtle sundae and Brett got a classic banana split. I thought it was too funny as we walked past this boat, so we head to grab his picture by "lickety split" with his banana split! Hehe! He's so cuuuute.
Amanda from The Upside of Wonder asked if I could style up this dress for her shop! I think it's an awesome idea to have Etsy shop owners have bloggers style up clothes - because you can get a real life sense of how you'd style it, plus you get some unique photos and publicity! I was more than happy to help her out because this dress is seriously super cute! It buttons all the way up the front, it's such a cute flowing material and just very perfect for a summer night on the pier. This dress is available for sale at her shop, so if you're interested, be sure to head over there!

Well, I'm off to bed early tonight! Going to sleep at 3:30 AM last night drained me today! It's going to feel so good to crawl into bed in a few minutes. Be sure to check back tomorrow for a lovely giveway from The Upside of Wonder - and you still have a little bit of time to enter the ThreadSence giveaway! Have a wonderful Wednesday, everyone!

Glad to know I'm not the only one who loves a good playground photo shoot! These photos are so fun, I love the one of you peeking out of the tube slide. I love the dress, but that's no surprise because Amanda always has such great pieces in her shop!
Looks like you had quite a fun time at the park! And the dress is just adorable.
Isn't it crazy how 11:30 seems early? Hahah. My blogging can make me so sleep deprived.

the lighting is great too. my compliments to brett!
What a great idea! Now I want you to style a dress for me!
oh my gosh i remember urban outfitters selling those swallow necklaces a few years back! they sold out and i bought mine on ebay for 40 bucks (which is a lot of money to a workin' 16 y/o gal!) ... i cant believe they're selling them at modcloth! :)
I was just thinking that I had seen that dress somewhere heehee. Now I know where!
looks like SUCH a fun day! i seriously think brett's photo skills evolve every shoot...the lighting here is incredible. xo
