So I’ve been catching the cold that’s been going around. I suppose that’s what I get for surviving off bags of m&m’s, red bull and hot cheetos. I kept things low key this weekend and went to the Detroit area on Saturday to meet up with Suze of Miss Vinyl Ahoy and Katelyn of Shop Vogue Vintage (who took these photos for me!) We went to a couple shops in the Royal Oak area and I tried on a variety of amazing fur coats from Paris, my favorite vintage store. Suze looked amazing in a leopard print hat that I’m convinced she MUST purchase.
I think of shopping as a sport. I need to be able to remove or add layers, move swiftly and have my arms free. A hoodie, leather jacket, jeans and a bag i can wear cross my body is the perfect combination for a shopping day outfit, especially for me. Although the boots may not be practical, I’m a pro in them. Yes, I suffer from the occasional trip and fall, but who doesn’t? ๐

My new hoodie has GOLD zippers and hardware details. I’ve coined it my fancy hoodie.
My signature cat move.
Hanging out in Royal Oak yesterday I was reminded of this hilarious parody of the Pure Michigan ad campaign. If you’re not from Michigan, or the midwest, you may not have watched or heard these commercials with Tim Allen’s voice talking about the lush greenery to run through barefoot or beautiful sunsets that cascade beautiful colors of light over the great lakes (I hate adjectives so understand how much it pains me to pull this out of my ass and write like what I hear in these ads.) Here’s the video of Royal Oak and here’s an example of a real ad in case you’re not familiar. Hehehe.
I take it that you didn't buy anything?! ๐ I would say my atire is about the same when shopping.
Thanks for the comment on my blog ๐

I'm from Chicago so I'm familiar with the Michigan tourism commercials. Have you seen this one from the 80s?

I used to know the words to this song when I was a kid, and whenever I hear the word "Michigan" I always think, "Yes, Michigan!"
I'm with you, shopping is a sport. I need my perfect uniform when I shop—easy on and off, some shoe with a heel, strapless bra, and a belt. Makes everything go so much faster!
Bahah, that last photo cracks me up!! You're so cute. ๐
killer shoes…both literally and figuratively…
Love the shopping outfit!
beautiful bag!
Meow!! Love your cat pose. ๐ AND I love those boots too!
xx Love & Aloha

you were in royal joke!? ahhh i could've photobombed you!
I am obsessed with those Pure Michigan spoofs. The guy that does them is from my hometown of Grosse Pointe!
How, after living in the "pure north" of Pure Michigan have I not seen these? They're genius. I particularly love the 'soothing' music and the blurred d-bags nodding along in time. Too great!
Have you tried hot fries? HIGHLY addictive! Not that I recommend using them as entrees : ) I have heard the Michigan commercials, and it makes me want to take a nap in the grass. Which is dangerous considering I usually only hear them in the car…
Perfect easy street chic, I love all of it! Espcially the boots. Thank you so much for visiting my blog, I've been a fan for quite some time. ๐

Did you buy anything yourself?!
I love your more casual outfits like this one. Haha, your "fancy hoodie" looks quite comfy. Also, I'm obsessed with bags that you can wear across your body. I love the chain on yours and all those lovely zippers!
those boots are pretty wicked and that jacket is just amazing!! ๐
