Traveling Through Movies

March 23, 2021 • 10 Comments

NYC

One of the things I’ve missed the most this past year (besides seeing my kids, family, and friends) is traveling.

My kids once asked me when the … [Read more...] about Traveling Through Movies

I was bored the other day, as always, so when Stephanie, my youngest, called and said she had to go to New York City I decided to meet her there and within an hour I had booked my ticket! We set up an itinerary beforehand, which is really unusual for us as a typical trip to … [Read more...] about New York New York Day One

Spring is springing! It’s so beautiful to see al Spring is springing! It’s so beautiful to see all the trees blooming and the colors of the flowers are so stunning! Spring is such a time of hope and renewal and after the year we’ve had, much needed!  Now that I’m vaccinated and can get out I’m so excited to start wearing my clothes again. It’s like everything in my closet is brand new having worn nothing but sweats most of the year! Since we never know what the weather will be like here (the saying is “If you don’t like the weather in Cleveland, wait 5 minutes! 😂) I start out the day in layers. Swipe to see how I layered my @grayson button up over a jumpsuit. The fit on these button ups is amazing and they’re so comfortable. Use the code MICHELELEE for $25 off your full price order. I love the navy, but there are so many colors and patterns to choose from!  Outfit Details  Shirt - @grayson
