I absolutely love driving our scooters along the back country roads to get to the city. There are little historic towns, farm houses, fields, old silos, winding roads, creeks and endless trees. It's just so pretty. If I had more time to commute, I'd take the back roads every single day. Brett and I were riding our scoots home from band practice tonight and stopped off along our way as the sun was setting. (Psst, yes I wear bicycle shorts under my dress as I scoot!)
Brett let the cat out of the bag yesterday and told me about my weekend birthday trip. I'm super excited. I love taking trips. Memories mean more to me than any single thing I own. I won't spill all of the details yet, but we have... a haunted lighthouse, waterfalls, turquoise blue waters and charming small towns to explore! In our hometown, we get to see the sun set every night on the coast, but where we're going, we'll see the sun rise on the coast!
Can anyone else believe it's the last week of July? I can't believe how fast summer is going. It feels like it just started. I have a bucket list of things I have to do before summer 'kicks the bucket'. The list is... go camping, jump off something huge into water (that's brett's contribution, of course), go to Mackinac Island, take an overnight scooter trip, tube on a river, go swimming in an outdoor pool and swim in huge Lake Michigan waves in August. Only a month left really to accomplish it all. Eeps!
I have a new giveaway tomorrow and a video to debut soon! Remember the sneak peek at the drive-in post? Well, I just saw the video and it's super cute. I'm really excited to share soon. We also got our mastered recording back for our band... which means, I will have music to post next week! We are so excited to finally share our music with you guys. I have a fun launch post coming up soon and you can pre-order our EP if you're interested! More details to come!

gorgeous dress :) I know you list your outfit details on your posts, but is there any one place you would recommend for supercute clothes?
cute dress! and love your scooter!!!
Sounds like some exciting things coming up on the blog! Can't wait to see what Brett has planned for your b-day and looking forward to hearing your bands music.
that dress is soo pretty! and I love the scoot :) your outfits are always to die for!
I know, isn't it crazy that summer is almost at an end? It does really feel like it has only just begun.
Aw, yay! I can't wait to hear some of your guys' music! :)
Yes, yes, yes! Mackinac Island is so much fun! It's gorgeous and the boat ride there is wonderful. It's such a cute island (as are most of Michigan's little islands) but it's just so charming and delightful. I haven't been there in forever, but I still remember how enjoyable it was there. :)

Very pretty dress! Also, Mackinac Island & Mackinaw City are both very nice! I love going there. The island is just so nice for relaxing and watching the horses trot around. Very simplistic.

Your birthday trips sounds awesome! I'm glad to hear that you wear shorts underneath your dress while riding your scooter, far too many girls don't. That belt is so cute!

Steffys Pros and Cons
These photos are so pretty - I LOVE that dress. Ruche is just the best. I also love your scooters...I was checking out the genuine scooter company's site and showing a few options to my boyfriend. I've been trying to convince him that when we move in a year, it might be a good idea to sell his car but he's way too attached to it (200,000+ miles and all). But after I showed him Buddy, he started thinking that maybe selling his car would be the best thing ever. mwahaha. :)
Your summer bucket list is similar to mine! We have camping and a birthday weekend on ours as well :)
Good luck!
- Mel
This dress is awesome! The bow is so cute!

And holy crow you are right, July is nearly over! Eeps, where did it go?!
you look pretty as a peach! that color is super flattering on you. your birthday trip sounds exciting, too!
I'm so sad summer is almost over just because I don't feel ready to start my last year of college. So sad. Anyway, that bow belt is pretty much amazing and I adore the color of your dress.
Good ol' bike shorts to the rescue.
I am beyond excited to hear your band! Ah! Can't wait.
This dress is so gorgeous, as are these photos! I love how you match your scooter, eee.
I drive the back country way into the city for uni (lucky for me it's quicker than the highway!) and it's lovely. Big old trees, barns, pretty country homes... I don't even mind my commute time!
Love the bow belt! And you have a basket on your scooter, eeeeh, so cute!! <3
It's my first time here and this post gives me the jealousies! Your dress is SO cute and I love your scooters :) Lovely blog!
What an adorable dress - and it matches your scooter! How cute! <3
Your trip sounds so cool. I ca't wait to see pictures and hear all about it. Oh! And when you go to Mackinac Island you have to do a post on it! I've wanted to go there for years and I can't wait to hear what you think of it?
