City rustic

Sponsored by Zappos

Over the holiday weekend, we headed to the Windy City to take in a concert, some deep-dish pizza, and coffee at the cutest café! I wanted to fit the late autumn vibes, so I packed my plaid coat… with the coolest new pair of boots I own by BED|STU from Zappos! They’re a little bit rustic, a little bit edgy, and they just look “cool”. I wore these boots for a full night of walking around Chicago, standing for a few hours at a concert, and they were super comfortable. Plus, I love the darker “rustic teak” look! I don’t have a single pair of boots that look like these, but they already go with so much in my closet.

Fall forest

I know I keep saying we’re dwindling down on autumn content… but I may have fibbed a little bit. Haha! I have a couple more posts (maybe 3?!) that feel very autumn coming up, before I move onto snowy holiday posts. But Michigan’s weather has sort of been all over the map! Peak autumn color, almost right to a winter wonderland, back to a grayish autumn, and now we’re back to snow again! But Eric and I snapped these photos when it was still peak autumn, which was so pretty this year! I just love this season. So a few more posts… hope you don’t mind, which I mean, how could you? Look at those colors!

Leelanau Wine Cellars
Leelanau Wine Cellars

One of my favorite places to head in Michigan is up to Traverse City and the Leelanau Peninsula. Last summer, I took a trip with my girlfriends and we booked a wine tour that took us all around – stopping to Leelanau Cellars, which was my first time ever visiting! Instantly… it was my favorite winery. I’m a sweet wine drinker – all the way – bring on the sweet red and Moscato! And while I love wine tasting in Traverse City, there aren’t a ton of wineries that offer a breadth of sweet options. It was fate we stopped to Leelanau Cellars! I’m forever their biggest fan now, and I had the wonderful chance to stay there a few weekends ago with a group of our closest friends. It was one of the best weekends!

Fisher Nature Preserve

Popping in on this short week with the most simple outfit ever… one I’m caught most in lately! A favorite pair of denim, a cozy sweater, and a comfortable pair of ankle boots. I wore this for our road trip home in the car from up north. Road trips are just the BEST in autumn… the scenery is so pretty the entire way! This is the last from our trip to the Tunnel of Trees. I have a couple more autumnal posts to wrap up November, and then we’re moving into the holidays! It’s already snowed here twice, melted both times, and now we’re left with this gray transitional weather. I’m great with that until Thanksgiving is over, and then I want it to snow, snow, snow all the way to Christmas!

Legs Inn

On my Michigan bucket list of places to visit… I finally got to visit Legs Inn! This place has been on my travel list for so long. I grew up eating Polish food that my grandma would make, and I don’t get to eat it too often anymore, so I was really excited to visit this historic landmark! It’s located right in Cross Village, pretty much at the end of your journey down the Tunnel of Trees. We stopped along the way to snap some photos of the pretty autumn colors, and made our way toward deliciousness. During autumn, it’s SO busy, so we waited almost 2 hours… but it was well worth it!

M119 Scenic Route
M119 Scenic Route

So, even though we’ve already had our first snowfall here in Michigan… I’m sitting on a boatload of content, so it’s going to be autumn here through November (which is how it should be anyway!) I’m trying to catch up, but other things have just taken priority lately. Work has been super busy, I’m trying to get back into my FLEX routine, we’ve been working to make our apartment as cozy as possible after the fire, and I’m starting to cook again, fill our fridge, and get back on track with everything in life! But let’s back up to our trip to Tunnel of Trees, which was my favorite autumn weekend. We took a long drive along M119, which is so beautiful and scenic.
