We grabbed a bite of ice-cream down at a local ice cream shop, Pier Peddler. It’s a cute little shop with touristy gifts! It’s funny seeing all the touristy items on our trip in the upper peninsula and coming home to more of the same! Do any of you live in tourist towns? Do you like it or hate it? I personally love it – I think it’s so fun when Grand Haven is bustling in the summer!
I’m working on wrapping up some of my summer outfits! I still have some items I haven’t worn yet for summer – I really need to get my butt in gear. I bought this skirt in Chicago last month and I love the little heart print design! I also see my canvas wedges online at UO and linked to them in case you asked me about them! They have different colors too and they are so comfortable. I could walk everywhere in these! They’ll transition really well into my autumn wardrobe too. I’m so excited for fall clothes!

Each team will collaborate to style up five completed “looks” – one for each model over the course of one evening. The public will be encouraged to walk from station to station to observe what the teams are creating at any time. The audience will also have the opportunity to vote on their favorite look to determine the winning team. Style battling is a rising trend and I’m so excited to see Grand Rapids take part in it! When the time is up, the models will take part in a grand finale walk. There are prizes and more details at their website. If you’re interested, be sure to get involved! Click here to find out how you can participate! Let me know if you have any questions – I’ll be happy to help out!

I borrowed this so cute dress from Delightfully Tacky when I saw it on her post here. I was like, “Elizabeth, I need that for Coast Guard festival!” and of course, being the doll she is, sent it right over! I haven’t worn these shoes in so long. I honestly bought them because Brett always used to wear Vans Authentics… and I thought he was the cutest guy in the world wearing them. So I bought some for me too! I don’t look as cute as he does though in them. Mannnn! No fair.
(hello, sailor dress – modcloth via delightfully tacky | shoes – vans authentics
cardigan – the limited)
It was so hot this night. Why I’m wearing a cardigan? Don’t ask. I was a sweaty mess. But once you got onto the scoot and headed down by the lakeshore, it felt so amazing! After our ship tours, we headed up toward Chinook Pier and paid $1.50 each to take a trolley ride around our town. It’s so fun. They have such funny jokes and it’s always fun to be smarter than the tour guide sometimes! He didn’t even know about the old lady in the big haunted house (wait until October for that one, I have some awesome autumn shoots planned!)

You may have noticed some new faces on Fashion Indie today, and I just wanted to take a second to introduce all of the Indies to our newest contributors, Lucas Logan and Jessica Li.

I had never heard that Detroit has a Fashion Week, but apparently they do. I’m sorry that I didn’t cover this, maybe next year, since you know, as the website says it’s Michigan’s “only fashion industry event.” That makes it sound so much more sad than exciting.
This year’s week was sponsored by the CW and showcased designs by Reco Chapple of Bravo’s ‘The Fashion Show,’ and Bianca Golden from one of the millions of seasons of America’s Next Top Model.

I am now about to go on a rant about how much I don’t like the Midwest:
My sister is currently texting me with live updates of her trip to the Verizon store in Ann Arbor. This further explains why my sister and I are the same person:
“Hot pink dollar store flip flops, white sweat pant shorts up the butt. One of those initial purses from Claire’s (you can see it better in the second pic), Brooklyn USA tank, having a conversation about tanning and more. Oh, and fake Oakley sunglasses. And Cosmo in her purse.”
I couldn’t believe this was true..but it gets better
“Well I’m like fifth in line and it’s hilarious. I thought you’d enjoy. Oh now she’s discussing what shampoo to use. Pulled out a notebook to record ‘big sexy hair.’ Classy”
I conclude, Michigan people not only lack style, but they find themselves thinking that they are in tune to what’s ‘fashionable’ or ‘in right now.’ You can bash and hate me all you want, but I have lived here for twenty one years. I know what’s going on.
Another update:
“Holy crap! Another lady in here: Crocs, khaki capris, red baggy tee with what appears to be a huge drool spot, frizzy hair. You would hate it here. Or die.”
And I would like to close with:
“Gold pants. The lady next to me has a bruised swollen face from plastic surgery. This place is insane. Girl in front of me in an all black dressy outfit, brown purse, and white Nike grandma walking shoes.”
Rescue me. Rescue me now.
