Big Sable Point

This past weekend was lovely. I'm totally enjoying summer. The weather in Michigan has been so hot, but I can't complain! The water temperatures in Lake Michigan are amazing and the sunsets have been gorgeous. Last weekend, I took a trip to Big Sable Point. This lighthouse is one of my favorites. You have to walk two miles to actually see it, which is something I love. Plus, along the way you see a fort and a shipwreck sighting! There is also a Little Sable Point lighthouse about 45 minutes south. I explored both lighthouses a couple of springs ago!


Walking along the beach was so pretty. It started out with a golden sunset and turned into the most gorgeous pink sky. Walking along the beach with my feet in the water is my favorite. By the time I hit the lighthouse at the end of the point, it was totally dark outside and the light to the lighthouse turned on. I was happy I ended up staying out later too because I had never seen the light on in this lighthouse!


Outfit details:
Confetti Cake Top c/o Strut
Thrifted skirt
Forever 21 belt
ModCloth Daylight Craving sunglasses

Love it! I just went up in my first lighthouse today and there is honestly nothing like it! I got to tour two lighthouses in the area, only one of them is still in operation. I would love to see the lights on in one!

Gorgeous photos! I wish I could visit a light house like that! I have friends in Michigan and I have heard that there are many beautiful sights to see there, and this must be just one of them!

Anke said...

Ohh, I'm very jealous! We're not having much of a summer in the UK this year and your pictures really make me miss Michigan (I spent a semester at MSU a couple of years ago)...

Oh Tieka! These photos are absolutely stunning! I seriously wish we had some lighthouses near me because everytime I see one of your lighthouse posts, I just wish I could go explore them. The sunset looks amazing - looks like you had an amazing time there. And as for the outfit, I just love everything about it haha! Hope you have a lovely week/weekend! :)

Chloe, Wardrobe Quarry said...

I love your simple but cute shirt and skirt combo.

Also thanks for the last post on collages and clipping masks. I had a completely different way that I was putting together collages in photoshop but your way is much simpler.
