Happy Monday everyone! If you haven’t already gathered from previous posts, I love my hometown of Ann Arbor, Michigan!  I could honestly be a spokesperson for Pure Michigan and the city of Ann Arbor and would have endless this to say about my hometown and State.  Summer is undoubtedly the best time to be in Ann Arbor where the city is filled with art fairs, summer festivals and great energy.  Which brings me to why I was home this weekend.  Mid-July in Ann Arbor means one thing and one thing only, art fair! Each year, Ann Arbor experiences a 3 day long art fair (technically 4 fairs) where the streets of downtown Ann Arbor are closed to accommodate rows and rows of white tents.  These tents are filled artists and artisans from all over the country showing works of art from paintings to sculptures, crafts and so much more.  Even the local clothing stores such as Urban Outfitters get in on the art fair hype but more on that later.You can always expect the 3 days of art fair to be filled with mass crowds, heat and at least one big thunderstorm.  Though I’m from Ann Arbor and love attending the art fair each year, it wasn’t my primary reason for being home.  I was excited to reconnect with a close friend from high school who was home from New York for the weekend.  We spent some time making our way through the art fair, even waking up at the crack of dawn to hit the racks of Urban Outfitters and the Getup, a vintage store in Ann Arbor, for their massive art fair sale where we found an additional 50% off of sale items.  Now that’s dedication to fashion! Check back later in the week to see the pieces I picked up.With a beautiful and fun-filled weekend behind me, it’s time to focus of the week ahead.  My week will be spent preparing for an amazing trip to New York where I’ll attend a cousin’s wedding and connect with some of my closest friends.  I can’t wait to celebrate such a special day with my cousin and spend some time in one of my favorite cities!
