My husband and I recently had a rare morning just the two of us. We headed to our favorite bakery where I TOTALLY indulged in a big pastry (probably my biggest indulgence since the cleanse). And oh was it so, so good. I can still taste the sweet and sugary goodness. Mmmmm....
We also grabbed a baguette for dinner and then bopped around Heritage Hill (our favorite neighborhood in all of the city) for a bit. Did you know that my husband proposed to me in Heritage Hill? He did. When I was living in a funky apartment in a medieval style home, this one to be exact, dating back to 1875.
Then we swung by the old Grand Rapids Public Museum for a photo opp. I would describe it's extrerior as Art-Deco. Maybe!?!? I'm not much of an architectural whiz.... but that's my two cent analysis. The thing is... it's on a super busy corner. I was embarrassed to be taking photos... but the guy that circled the block 2x on his bike past our "photo shoot" and then skidded out in a huge puddle before almost crashing into a car took the edge off. That's what you get for rubber-necking. Freak!
So do you like my 'four-eyes'? I'm giving some glasses from Warby Parker (the Warby Parker Huxley style, to be exact) a test run. I have five to choose from - I think these are my favorite. But stay tuned to the blog for more options. Natch, I'll want your input.

photos were on my iphone since I discovered once we got downtown that the battery was dead on the Canon Rebel - um, oops.

I always hate taking outfit photos in super busy locations - I end up looking noticeably more awkward in those pictures than in the ones where we're on some quiet street.
Not that you look awkward :)
i love this look! i think the glasses totally make that outfit! I so wish I was brave enough to put on specs. I would feel like a total nerd! You look amazing, though!
You look lovely! The ombre hair is really pretty on you and that top fits you perfectly!
I checked out the link you posted to the bakery- Oh my goodness! Those treats look incredible!!! YUM!

It's so much to see you write about my city. I love that you enjoyed some of my favorite places in GR!
Loving the glasses! I never ever wear mine, but they are cute so maybe I should start.
Hope you had a fabulous fourth!
What a nice outfit! Your shoes are so cool. And a baguette sticking out of a bag always makes me happy :)

Just when I think you can't get any cuter you go all Warby Parker on my ass. You look adorbs, seriously. I LOVE these glasses on you. So are these prescription, because I've been seeing them everywhere in blogland. I think maybe everyone's been sitting in front of the computer too long and gotten bad eyesight! Love the baguette sticking out of your purse too-nice touch ;)
