Happy Monday!! We made it through. Thank you baby Jesus. Wanted to share a quick post about our weekend Trip to Traverse City, MI. This time of year in Michigan the colors are starting to change in the trees. Something about it with my favorite cup of coffee–it’s my happy place. Northern Michigan is sooo pretty if you can break away for a color tour day or weekend. Traverse City is a hip, fun & casual town. Lots of unique restaurants and little boutiques. One of the nights we ate at Red Ginger, it was outstanding. Its an Asian infused dining experience. http://www.eatatginger.com. Very small and quaint, but had a very open feeling too. I ordered a specialty drink and the Kung Pao chicken. It was not too spicy and hit the spot.
Now, if your looking for the ultimate boutique shopping experience, look no further than Ellas. http://ellas.shoplightspeed.com. It is BY FAR my most favorite boutique in Traverse City. They carry very fashionable brands like Frye, Citizens of Humanity, and Velvet. Jewelry, Shoes and Accessories. Ellas has fancy clothing, but mainly casual woman’s clothing. Thats why it is perfect for me and other woman on the go. They have something for everyone in different price ranges. Ellas carries Mens and Home accessories as well. But I feel the thing that makes Ellas so special is the service. The associates are VERY helpful. They let you shop around and then help you with final decisions if you need it. In particular the Manager & Buyer, Kara, is special to the store. She has helped me the last few times I have been there. She has a special eye for my individual style. She carefully watched what I selected and then assisted with suggestions if I needed them. She was not pushy. She was honest if it didn’t look right. She did not suggest things that were of no interest to me. I would highly recommend this store. It just gives me warm fuzzies. You can see my final sections and the styles I picked on my social media pages which are all on the bottom right hand corner of my blog. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by. xo Brooke #traversecity #redginger #ellas @swingbyEllas
