Monochrome

It's finally here. FINALLY. Sweaters. Please allow me to enjoy these fall temperatures, Chicago, before you prematurely bring winter back into my life.

Review // Kaja

I recieved a beautiful care package from Kaja last week and I am so excited to share the goodies they sent over! Everything about this line is fun and fresh and colorful. I created three looks using a variety of blush, highlight, eyeshadow, and lip stains. Starting tomorrow, you'll be able to order all of these through Sephora.com, or get them in stores on September 28! These Kaja products are a courtesy gift from the brand. This is not a paid post, and all opinions are my own.

Gaylord and the 45th Parallel

I thought this was one of the coolest things on the trip. Outside of Gaylord, Michigan, there is this big sign on the side of the road noting the 45th Parallel. We also passed by one somewhere in Wisconsin on our way back home (but the sign wasn't as interesting as this one). Have you visited any 45th Parallel signs elsewhere in the country?

Warren Dunes

Last week, my mom and I embarked on an road trip to Northern Michigan — and took Opal, of course! We stopped at a lot of cute places along the way and I'll be sharing a lot of looks over the next week or two. First up is Warren Dunes and this summery lemon romper.
