In the span of the next 8 days, there will be 3 major red carpets! I think it will be a good week for sure. Kicking it off, a big celebration in the music world, as MTV rings in its 40th year with a big fashion/music fest that is the Video Music Awards (VMA’s). I’m… Continue reading Best Dressed: 2021 MTV VMA’s
Most little girls love to put on flowy, ruffled dresses and to twirl. Heck, it’s kind of a sport, or at least a pastime in the world of girly girls! Not much has changed for me as an adult. I still love a dress (or skirt) that when I put it on instantly makes me… Continue reading Give It A Twirl: Your Own Fashion Evolution
One of my favorite places in the whole world sits quietly 7 miles from the mainland, in the middle of Lake Huron (almost where it meets Lake Michigan), between the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan. From afar it’s just a quiet, unassuming island, but as you approach by ferry you begin to see the… Continue reading Top 10 Mackinac Island Must Sees
They may say this festival is all about the movies, but I would beg to differ.

That float had the perfect blend of flavors – the rich root beer and the sweetness of the ice… Continue reading A Sweet Summer Treat (with NO sugar)!
It’s finally here – summer sunshine and warm weather! After over a year in the thick of a global pandemic, with a lot of time spent in quarantine, we are all anxious to have a summer that resembles the norm. That may be different for each and every one of you, but for me it… Continue reading Summer Swim: Top 6 Swimsuit Brands
The world is slowly getting back to normal, and one of the best things to come out of this, LIVE RED CARPETS! I know, I know, this is trivial in the grand scheme of things, but something trivial is what we all need right now. It gives us a chance to focus on something outside… Continue reading Best Dressed: Billboard Music Awards 2021
The sea is a place full of wonder and awe. Intriguing and terrifying all at the same time. So much beauty lies beneath the blue wavy surface, but so much mystery and awe too. I’ve always loved being by the water – any type, from the ocean to the lake, even a pool or a… Continue reading Under the Sea: The Perfect (Lilly) Dress for Me
