Well well well, it's been quite some time since I posted or even looked at my own blog. It's something I've thought about often but didn't have the inspiration or motivation to move forward with actively posting. Call it blogger's block if you will, but whenever I thought of something that might be potential blog material, there was this voice in the back of my mind saying "no, that's not good enough". So there it sat in internet oblivion, collecting electronic dust.

And then fall showed up.

There are many things I love about living in Michigan, with fall being near the top of my list. The clear blue skies, the changing leaves, the crisp air. It was this past weekend on a particularly beautiful day where I finally felt inspired again. For those of you who do not experience a Midwest fall, believe me when I say the air is different this time of year, and you can practically feel the change blowing past you. Whenever this happens I get this feeling of excitement and anticipation inside me, for unknown things to come. It's somewhat unexplainable but there truly is this buzzing energy that cannot be ignored and it was this that brought me out of my blogging rut.

It'll probably be baby steps getting back into the routine of posting, but I can't wait to get into the swing of things and channel my inner creativity into something. So hello, Internet friends. It's lovely to see you again :)

A quick hello from freezing cold Michigan! 

(Took these pictures in literally two minutes because 10 degrees in November is just unacceptable. Bring back the forties, Mother Nature!)

This weekend consisted of watching a lot of cross country running (my little sister's team won Div. II Nationals, woohoo!),  drinking tons of coffee to stay warm, fan-girling over Catching Fire, and cleaning in preparation for my aunt and cousins' arrival today.

As much as I love and look forward to eating (and eating, and eating...) all the delicious food on Thanksgiving, my favorite part of the holiday is spending time with my family members who we don't get to see as often as we would like. My cousins, sisters, and I are all very close and it is a guarantee whenever we all get together we are in for a crazy-weird, but awesome time. Perhaps this year we will get The Nacho Band back together for a post-meal performance. And yes, The Nacho Band was a real thing. Our #1 single? Nacho Man (just switch out "nacho" for "macho" in The Macho Man song and you'll get the idea). You know you're jealous of how cool we are :)

Happy Tuesday! Safe travels this holiday!

Leather x Moto

(It was a little breezy...)

Coat - H&M (similar here) // Sweater - Joie // Scarf - Pieces // Leggings - Paige Denim // Booties - Messeca New York (on sale!) // Purse - J.Crew (budget friendly version here) // Shades - Prada

 The current leather trend is one I've been loving as of late. Put it on and immediately you feel a little tougher; pair these leather leggings with a moto jacket, and you feel like you can take on anything! So of course, what better place to wear this look than to a superhero movie? I could totally star alongside Chris Hemsworth, right? Eh, a girl can dream ;)

Happy Veterans' Day!
