Wicked- The Broadway Musical

It has been a dream of mine to see a Broadway musical especially by the name of Wicked and on Tuesday October 24th, it came true. My Aunt Susan bought us ticket to the Wicked show so it became a girl's night out. The show was at the DeVos Performance Hall in downtown Grand Rapids at 7:30pm. With seeing the Wizard of Oz as a child, I knew the concept of the prequel for the musical but to finally understand on why the characters are reason that they are within the musical is eye opening. I highly recommend seeing Wicked whenever it comes to your town, it is definitely worth the money. I wore a simple cream Vineyard Vines cashmere sweater with dark J.Crew toothpick jeans and cute tan booties with small heel attached. It was raining outside so I wore my orange raincoat to keep me dry between traveling times. I kept my jewelry every simple to my Kendra Scott Elsa pendant with my Pandora rings.

I was so excited that last week was fall break for Aquinas and I wasn't stressing over midterms or final papers. Even though last week went by really fast, I'm glad to have a break from reality now that my credits will be dropping down from 18 to 14 now that my two quads have ended. The stress levels will at an all time low with now more time for blogging and homework. I hope that fall season may still be upon us as winter may be coming closer than what we thought.

Summer Seersucker

At the beginning of July, Lauren James had their annual BIG SALE! I was up at one o'clock in the morning, and I was impressed by the amazing deals. I’ve always lusted after their striped Bow Shorts. They're adorable, and have hints of the classic seersucker. I read countless reviews about sizing. I ended up choosing to buy the shorts in a large for extra room around the thighs and waist. I am always nervous when buying from a company online, when I cannot physically try on the items in my cart. My risk must have paid off, because I’m in love with these shorts! They fit like a glove. The length is not too short, but not too long; a comfortable and classy mid-length. The shorts are perfect to wear while walking downtown in Grand Rapids, and staying comfortable and cute while having fun. During the summer or spring, these shorts would be essential to wear. I'm already obsessed already, and can't wait to buy more from Lauren James!

Traveling downtown Grand Rapid is always wonderful when finding hidden gems around the city.

Paisley In The Park

I absolutely love traveling downtown Grand Rapids, especially in the spring. Michigan weather constantly changes and when I say it...I mean it. It finally stopped raining after a week long of showers to have one day that the weather was beautiful out. So Ellie (my sister) and I headed to explore downtown and the museums of Gerald R. Ford and the Grand Rapids Public. We ate lunch at the Sundance Grill and Bar which was super yummy! I kept my outfit very simple to finally break out my Victoria Beckham Pleated Blush shorts and an adorable navy blue J.CREW Painter tee. I really wanted to bring the adorable pattern within the shorts with a simple top.  I kept my jewelry to just my Kendra Scott Elsa Necklace, simple pearl earrings, and my Pandora birthstone ring. I am definitely excited to continue to wear these shorts more within the summer.

The whole collection is on sale at Target so definitely keep your eyes out in the clearance section for Victoria Beckham pieces. I am very happy to share the simple pieces that are for sure bold enough in any closet. Cheers to the summer sales!
