The Christmas tree farm

Phew! I’m a little behind here… but hoping to catch up before the holidays! So a few weeks ago, we headed out to our annual Christmas Tree Farm day! This is one of my favorite days of the year. We always go on Black Friday, which is nice, because most other people are out crazily shopping! We head into Rockford, stop for breakfast at The Peppermill Grill, stroll a few of the shops in their cute downtown area, do a little wine/cider tasting at Kayla Rae Cellars, and then head out to Hart Christmas Tree Farm to chop down our tree! It’s always just so fun! Afterwards, we head back into Rockford to grab a late lunch/dinner at Corner Bar of chili cheese dogs — and head home to watch holiday movies and decorate! I love traditions so much! I’d relive this day over and over if I could… which I do, I guess! 😆🌲

Gray gloom

So I didn’t really realize how gloomy our weather has been until I saw an article about how we barely saw any sunshine in November here in west Michigan. 😂 The sun literally peaked out the other day while I was at work… and I was like ooh! And then it went right back to gray gloom and doom, haha. Oh well, I honestly do love gloomy weather, but I would definitely take a nice sunny day right about now just to switch it up! We snapped these photos on Thanksgiving at my mom’s house, where I lived in high school. Definitely felt very autumn through the holiday, which I love. As soon as December rolls around, I’m ready for snow! But we’ve had a mild month so far, and are waiting on our white Christmas. So we’ll see! Either way; I mean, a month without snow in Michigan… can’t really complain… 😬🤷‍♀️

Outside Coffee Co
Outside Coffee Co

One of my favorite places to visit in our neighborhood is… Outside Coffee Co! If you’re ever passing through Grand Rapids (or you live here!) and have never been, you definitely have to add it to your “must do” list. It’s open all-year long, no matter the weather. In the winter, they have these adorable igloos set up with warmers inside or you can sit outside by the fire! Plus, their menu is delightful. They have seasonal drinks and various toasts, along with lots of vegan-friendly options. Plus, they have soft serve ice cream, which is always vegan. I love stopping in for a coffee (their chaider or pumpkin spice has been a go-to this season) or their seasonal flavor of soft serve. Love this place!

End of autumn

Well just like that… autumn is done! I guess not “technically”, but I always just say goodbye in November. December to me is always holiday and winter vibes! Michigan gave us the best last week of November too — no snow, sunshine on a couple of days. On this exact day, it was mid-50s and perfect outside. We headed out to brunch and to Robinette’s to grab cider doughnuts, do a little wine tasting, and walk the trail! I don’t know why everyone doesn’t come to Robinette’s in November. There was no line, we were only one of two parties wine tasting, and it was just perfect! So my local tip to you — visit Robinette’s in November instead of October! Hahaha.

Holiday season sweaters with Smartwool x Zappos

Sponsored by Zappos

Can you believe… the holidays are here?! December is almost upon us… and so comes everything holiday-related. So exciting! One of my favorite things about this time of year is all the cozy. I love all the cozy blankets, socks, pajamas, and of course… sweaters! I’m loving this heavyweight Smartwool® CHUP Potlach Zip Sweater from Zappos! It’s super warm, and the regular fit offers a nice range of motion, and it’s so comfortable! Perfect for cozying up in during holiday get-togethers! Be sure to keep Smartwool top of mind for sweaters you can wear this season… or for holiday giving! I always have the best experience with Zappos too. It’s easy to become a Zappos Rewards member, which includes FREE expedited shipping. It’s crazy how fast items arrive! Plus, they have 24/7 customer service and a 365 day return policy. The best!

Leather + florals

Onto a new… short week! I’m really looking forward to the upcoming holidays. They just add a whole new level of cozy + warmth into your life. I’ve been holding off on all of the new holiday movies on Netflix too, so I mean next weekend, it’s onnnn. 🎅🏻😂 But! In the meantime, I’m still thoroughly enjoying fall over here. Thankfully all of the snow melted… the sun has peeked out the last couple of days… and it actually feels like autumn and November! I wasn’t ready for giant parkas and winter boots! And I’m excited I could style these böhme goodies with a cute pair of heels. I recently collaborated with them to style up this adorable Avis Leather Moto Jacket + their Mira Floral Dress. I loveee both pieces! So cute. This jacket is great quality, and it’s super affordable. Be sure to head over to their site… 25% off everything right now!
