Window Shopping: A Day at the Dunes

September 3, 2018

Taking a trip to the Indiana Dunes has been on my bucket list forever. I have high hopes we might just make it sometime in September, and if not, we will 100% get there next summer.

I’ve always pictured a trip to this part of our state to be a lazy, laid back, and relaxing adventure compared to how we normally do travel. With that being said, I certainly wouldn’t plan on taking much along with us. Here are a few of the goods I think might make a day trip to the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan’s southern shores extra enjoyable.

  1. Fensace Casual Flare Midi Dress in Black Sunflowers
  2. Lanzom Foldable Wide-Brimmed Straw Hat
  3. High-Pointed Cat Eye Sunglasses
  4. Fujifilm Instax Wide 300 Instant Film Camera
  5. Woodchip Picnic Basket
  6. Plant Snacks Variety Pack
  7. Aurosports 10×25 Folding High Powered Binoculars
  8. Honlyps High-Waisted V-Neck Swimsuit in Yellow
  9. Bersuse 100% Cotton Beach Blanket
  10. Tezoo Woven Beach Tote
  11. Chitobae Criss-Cross Sandals
  12. Dot Grid Hard Cover Notebook
  13. The Yellow Wallpaper, and Selected Writings by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
  14. Lara Cabana 100% Turkish Cotton Beach Towel
  15. ORIGIN Glass Water Bottle (BPA-Free)
  16. LureLux Organic Sunscreen

What are your late-summer beach day essentials? Have you been to the Indiana Dunes? I’d love if you shared some of your favorite things to see and do there in the comments!

Here’s to soaking up the last of summer, friends!

xo, Aly

Almost every nook and cranny of our home is filled Almost every nook and cranny of our home is filled with sentimental pieces. I’m the daughter, granddaughter, and niece that will gladly take items the family may otherwise get rid of or have tucked away in closets for decades, untouched. The kind of traveler that looks for leaves and shells and rocks to keep in my pockets and carry with me, so I can always hold a piece of where I’ve been. Usually, I have no idea where these things may come to live in my own home, but they always manage to find their perfect places in time.

These shelves alone hold a basket full of stones and shells from around the world, framed high school love letters my grandpa wrote to my grandma in the 1940s, an assortment of found and inherited books, some well more than a century old, and sweet portraits of my great grandparents. 

While I strive to avoid clutter, I do love filling every room with as many meaningful pieces as I can. Because while many things are just things, some are so much more. 🤍
