Whoa, what a totally unexpected break there! Eric and I have both been extremely under the weather this past week with a totally abrupt (and horrible) stomach flu. It's been the worst. I missed three days of work, a week's worth of blog posts... and an amazing giveaway. So, that means I have a ton of catching up to do this week. In other news though, we've been majorly hit with the most beautiful snow here in Michigan! Honestly, winter is my least favorite season but it has been really pretty. Eric and I have finally been feeling a little bit better this weekend, so we drove out to Holland to see "Big Red"!
This lighthouse has been on my list-to-see for forever. Isn't it hilarious that I've driven 8 hours to see a lighthouse and yet one that's 40 minutes away I hadn't seen yet? Silly. But anyway, it was lovely. We parked at the Holland State park, and you couldn't walk right up to the lighthouse because it's on the other side of the channel. The water looks almost frozen over! It was pretty darn cold, but there were so many people out walking around. The real name is Holland Harbor Lighthouse, but it's nicknamed "Big Red". It's definitely one of the more unique lighthouses I've seen. I love it, of course.
For my outfit today, I decided to match my location. Ha, what's new! For my adventures, the lovely Kaleigh of Unexpected Expectancy sent me this amazing telescope necklace. It actually expands and it really does magnify! It's so cute and it fits my style perfectly. And so does this chambray top! I cannot believe I didn't own a chambray top before this one, because I can see it being mixed with so many outfits. Especially a floral skirt in spring and some cute basketweave flats. Ugh, I'm definitely a warm weather child.

I agree - I wear my chambray top with plenty of various-coloured and patterned skinnies, but I can't wait for it to be warm enough for skirts again!

That lighthouse is awesome! I've never seen one like it and it looks stunning against the snow. It's cute how matching your outfit is with the red trousers and such.
Hope you get better soon!

What an adorable lighthouse! Out of all the ones you've featured on this blog, this one has to be one of my favorites. For some reason I am really drawn to it, maybe its the bold red color! And that necklace is awesome, I can't believe it really zooms.
i heart, heart, heart those booties!

Super cute outfit. Although I wish you would check out your sponsers a little bit better. That jewelry website "unexpectant expectancy" (I believe that's the name) is just buying 50 cent jewelry from alibaba.com (or similar websites) and selling it for about 16-18 dollars each. Of course this isn't illegal (unfortunately) but it's very deceptive that her "about" says she makes this jewelry. Not to mention the fact it's morally messed up that human beings in sweat shops are literally getting paid pennies to make this. Anyone who wants that necklace should save their hard earned money and buy it off of eBay..at least :/
holy fuckin goose the outfit-location parallel is making me go into copy cat mode. p.s. those shoes. just, those shoes. Thumbs up, applause, splendidly done, I love them.

I so need to start going out to the lighthouses around here. I miss those adventures (of course, it's always nicer in the summer when it's warm). I love your red pants and that telescope necklace! So cute!
