Cabin Wear: Day to Night

Friday, September 14, 2012

Welcome to our pier in Door County!

While in the daytime this place looked spectacular with a beautiful and spacious back yard/pier, it was creepy as can be in the dead of night. Oh, and did I mention we had just come back from a little ghost hunting excursion? All together it would have made the perfect beginning to a horror movie.

The house was awesome in that creepy old house kind of way. Lots of old creaky wood floors, random paintings where the eyes seem to follow you, themed guest rooms and spooky closets. We even decided to go out to the end of this pier on a dare at about 2am! There is something so fun about spooking yourself out for no reason! It was a pretty silly evening. 

With Fashion always on my mind and on my calendar, I remembered earlier that that the second run of "The Shops" for Target was debuting. Since we were so close to Green Bay we stopped in to check it out. I got a really cute tweed dress with faux leather trim by Kirna Zabete (check it out here) as well as a  color block sweater and a geometric print jersey dress from her line. Also I spotted this green plaid blazer. The sizing is terribly off and ran super big! I somehow wound up buying a 4, and that actually fit the best.

My favorite part of any trip home from Wisconsin though is getting to stop at the J Crew outlet. I picked up a really cute bright purple wool pencil skirt that I can't wait to wear, and a black leather belt.

I also picked up two small handbags at the ALDO outlet. The black one seen below and a tan and gold one for only $17!


Another day of amazing clouds!

Same outfit, but added the blazer, purse (Aldo outlet) and changed my shoes!

And that's the end to our fun- and shopping-filled weekend!

Hope you all have a great one and thanks for reading!

Perfect Fall Day

Thursday, September 13, 2012

These pics are from our trip to Door County, Wis. this past weekend. The weather was perfect! It was cool and fall-like, and the clouds were amazing everywhere we looked! 

Our group of six went to a "fish boil" (has anyone ever heard of that or done that?), took in the beautiful sky, played some fun board games, did a little ghost hunting and celebrated our friend Tara's birthday! Big thanks go out to her for getting us all together for a much-needed weekend with great friends!



 Button down: J Crew (similar here), Jeans: H&M, Shoes: Reef (on sale on Piperlime here!), Bracelets, Forever 21, Watch: Michael Kors, White sunglasses: from last weeks wedding in Memphis, There were like 20 pairs floating around so I took a pair home...souvenir :)



 Check out those clouds! Pretty amazing, right?



These earrings are a shout out to my girl Darby of Obviously Obsessed, who mentioned tiny bowed earrings in a post of hers (see it here) awhile back. They were in my head when I saw these adorable little sparklers a few weeks back. These have a tiny gold bow on top of a domed sparkly base! My new favs from Forever 21!

Thanks for the inspiration Darby! 





An amazing view while waiting for dinner!

My very first fish boil! How could it be bad when it's served on a plate covered in butter!?
