relax. summer vacation.

School is out, the weather is warming up and we went on our first family get-away for the summer to Michigan, one of our favorite places to visit. Southwest Michigan is a popular vacation spot for Chicagoans because it is a quick trip by car. All along Lake Michigan there are summer cottages, wineries, beaches and quaint, little towns. We spent quite a bit of time on the beaches, relaxing and building sand castles. The photo is of me and my youngest son sitting on the boardwalk.

I also found some time to enjoy one of my favorite pastimes: shopping. Last summer I was pregnant, so this summer I have been looking forward to updating my wardrobe with some non-maternity clothes. One of the shops I wandered into was Renvar in Saugatuck, MI. The store had recently opened and was decorated with retro light fixtures and vintage-style floral wallpaper. But the thing that really struck me was the brightly colored hangers covered in fun fabrics and yarn that each piece of clothing was hung on. I thought the hangers were so creative! What a great way to dress up some basic plastic hangers. Take a look at the photo, and see for yourself.

Love, Pauline xoxo
