Lilac season
Ahhhh, lilac season in Marquette. Swoon city! What a beautiful sign that summer is here. I’ve been running down the bike path along the lakeshore recently… and always slow my pace down to pass one of these and just take a giant whiff. 😆 But this is one of my favorite times of the year… I mean, fall is forever my favorite, but this is a close second. Just those transitional seasons are the best. Except I’m really leaning hard into summer this year. Trying to figure out a way to slow down time… hahaha. But I’ve been running past this spot, so I knew I wanted to get over there to snap some photos. Beach vibes and lilacs!? Yes, please.
So I think my style is… what it is. Rockin’ the same outfit since 2017. 😂 These Madewell wrap tops from a thousand years ago are still living large in my closet, that’s for sure. And I’m just forever a Levi’s girl, although I do feel like… I’ve made the switch from wedgie-fit to ribcage-fit as my new faves. Gosh, I love a high-rise jean. Especially with a cropped top. Hello, booty! But I was looking at some Pinterest photos for some lilac inspiration, and white was just the best color to wear honestly. Plus, it’s just so summer-y! But yeah, I’m a terrible style blogger, I know. Oh well. We’re still here.
Otherwise, life is very good! Summer is kicking off… lots of plans and fun things coming up. As always, trying to slow down and be intentional with it all. My favorite days are usually the ones where I’m not in a rush and can enjoy some simple plans, the outdoors, being with El and friends. I’m still training for the Queen City Half Marathon, although it hasn’t consumed my life as much as it has in years past, sort of giving myself a little grace this year… but still excited to cross that finish line! This past weekend was a total vibe… just lots of outdoor time, grilling out, cocktails (I think my next hobby might be mixology 😂), friends, summer vibes in MQT, movies on the sofa, the scent of lilacs. Anyway. That’s all for today!
