Kris's Closet

In this blog post you will get a glimpse of pieces in my closet, learn where I found them and where I wore them. My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

I love Memorial Day weekend! The holiday usually kicks off my travel season. Monday I went with my guy to Lake Erie to celebrate the holiday. We started at the Walleye Festival in Port Clinton, where we had one of the best fried fish sandwiches either of us has ever eaten. The festival was right next to the water so we spent a lot of time gazing at the water. We left the festival and headed to one of our favorite junk food spots, Great Lakes Popcorn Company where I got some Citrus flavored popcorn that tasted a lot like Fruit Loops. We had Margaritas in Margaritaville in Sandusky, Ohio. In the area we also had dinner at a restaurant that was just okay. The last stop anytime we are in the area is always Toft's  Ice Cream Parlor. The small cone is literally four scoops of ice cream. 

Since I was going to the lake I wore my boat shoes. I wanted to be prepared in case it was cool by the lake so I layered a button up over a tee shirt dress. I love to pattern mix so I paired leopard accessories with my Aztec printed shirt. This was Monday's look.

*Fashion by the Lake*

Saturday I spent the day in Put in Bay with my sister and her friend. We rented a golf cart, winery hopped, checked out Perry's Victory Memorial and more. I knew I would be walking a lot and I wanted to be comfortable so I opted for a cotton dress and flat oxfords. I took my photos all over the island. This is what I wore.

I love when I am able to show you pieces that are so easily accessible. This is my second dress in a row from Target. It is by Merona. I am a huge fan of cheap and polka dots. The mint colored belt came with it and normally I would swap it out but I kept it since it matched my oxfords. Find my dress here.

I found some cheap hoop earrings earlier the same day at a flea market that was at a park up the street from where we were staying. I wanted to keep my earrings simple since I was wearing such a bold necklace.

The necklace I have worn once in Kris's Closet. I found it at a thrift store for $8. The bag is an old DKNY bag.

My oxfords are by Cole Haan. They were a gift from my mom. They are the fresh mint patent 'Tompkins' oxford. I love an oxford for denim, slacks and dresses. 

This concludes another Kris's Closet. Thank you so much for stopping by!

*Fashion by the Lake*

Friday was the start of my sister's birthday weekend. A few of us took a road trip to Port Clinton to spend the weekend in a rental property right on Lake Erie. We got lunch downtown Port Clinton before we checked in. Then I got to play tour guide and I showed lil sis and company some of my favorite Lake Erie destinations like Great Lakes Popcorn Co., Marblehead Lighthouse and Tofts Dairy. Then we checked out a place I have never been called Cheese Haven. We made dinner,enjoyed a bon fire and  got in the Jacuzzi. I took my photos in the front yard of the house we rented. This is what I wore.

Friday's look was very much inspired by the water and nature. My dress is by Mossimo at Target. I love it! The dress is printed in the front and solid in the back. The print reminded me of waves and the colors made me think of sunlight, plants, sky and water. I paired the dress with straw accessories and jewelry that felt just as natural with a tribal feel.

The straw sun hat and tote I bought together at a thrift store last summer. I paid around $6 for the set.  I carried the straw tote on another Lake Erie trip but this is the first time I have worn the hat.Find similar hats here and here. Find similar totes here and here.

The earrings are from a vendor I ran into at the Dandelion Festival May 2012.

The belt is a tribal belly dancing belt I bought from a vendor at the International Festival a few years ago. I added it to the dress because it had many of the same colors in it and I wanted to give the look a tribal/boho feel.Find tribal belly dancing belts here.

I adorned my wrists with copper cuffs and my favorite ring and bracelet set from the Mali store of Chicago. The shoes were $2.50
at a Church Yard Sale.

This concludes another Kris's Closet. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Lake Erie Here I Come!!!

Lake Erie Here I Come!!!

When August arrives I am both sad and excited because it means the end of summer but it kicks off the birthdays that I look forward to celebrating each year. I have been planning my sister's milestone birthday for over a month and I have yet to have any sort of vacation since last summer. We are going to Lake Erie this weekend. It has become one of my favorite places especially Put in Bay of South Bass Island. My sister and her friend have never been so I am excited for them. We are days away so I am getting packed, finalizing our destination plans and making out a grocery list for our stay at our lakeside rental. I am looking forward to sticking my feet in the lake, boat rides, winery hopping and spending time with one of my favorite people. I also look forward to showing you my Lake Erie looks next week. I plan to let the lake inspire me. Check out the collection of photos below that either inspired me or are experiences I have planned for us to take in.
