Golden days of summer

Hi friends! I’m excited to be teaming up with Lee & Birch for the next couple of weeks to promote their Runway off Wealthy show coming up on September 14. It’s going to be at the gardens of Jeffery Roberts Design again this year, which is such a beautiful setting! They are going to have music by DJ Adrian Butler, drinks and bites from Sandy Point Beach House, ZoKo822 and MeXo, and a chance to win all sorts of raffle prizes and more! Plus, the fashion is always inspiring and gets me in the mood for fall! Be sure to head over to their Facebook page for more information, and to buy tickets! All event proceeds are donated to Kids’ Food Basket, so this is for a great cause.

So this outfit, and this setting (my favorite go-to apple orchards), and this golden light just has me in the mood for autumn. I know, I know, we’re still pretty much two months away… but I LOVE autumn. It’s the best season, forever and always. As much as I love summer, we always just hit a certain point in the year where it’s just hot AF and I’m so over being sweaty, and not being able to blow dry or curl my hair without feeling like the need to take another shower afterwards. I know I’ll probably regret saying this in the winter, but it’s the truth. But I’m just in love with every season in general — sweaty or freezing, each season brings on a different mood, different activities, a different mindset. I think maybe I’m just in the back-to-school mindset right now where I just bought my clothes and now I want to WEAR them! ;)

I picked out a few outfits from Lee & Birch with their styling help, and LOVED this top and jeans paired together. I knew I wanted to style the top, but sometimes I just can’t make crop tops work… but with the high-waisted jeans, I was obsessed. Lee & Birch is offering 20% off your ENTIRE online order with code “ROW20” until September 30th. They’ll be listing this top soon, so keep your eyes peeled, and I’ll be sure to announce here or on Twitter when they have them in stock online. I’ll be back in a couple of weeks with another post in collab with Lee & Birch!

So okay, back to summer. I’m going to really make sure I just enjoy this last full month of summer before I fully dive into fall (even if it is my favorite…) But we have a fun month planned! I plan on picking back up on my small goals for the month next week (missed July!) so I can update you there, but otherwise… Eric has a lot of shows this month, we’re seeing Taking Back Sunday (I haven’t seen them in like 15 years, which is crazy!), we’re heading to Muskegon a few times, I’m finally getting my hair trimmed (it’s been months), I’m also hosting an event at Madewell at the end of the month in Ann Arbor, so I’ll keep you posted on updates there! Time is flying, even if the days sometimes feel so slow. I started a migraine-elimination diet, so I’ll talk more about that in my small goals for August. Have a great weekend, you guys!
