Seven Spring Outfits from l.a.cool for Your Alexandra Inn Getaway
Spring is blooming in Traverse City, and with the lake breeze in the air and the cherry blossoms starting to peek, it’s the perfect time to freshen up your wardrobe.
Whether you're strolling downtown, wine tasting on Old Mission Peninsula, or enjoying rooftop views at Blush, spring style in TC is all about layering, texture, and effortless chic.
Here’s your go-to guide for spring fashion in Traverse City featuring items from our favorite local downtown boutique - l.a.cool.
☀️🌙 Day to Night Downtown
l.a.cool has spring versatility and layering down to an art. One of our favorite brands that they are carrying this season is Staud.
Staud offers sophisticated yet simple pieces that transition perfectly from going to the farmer’s market to dinner and drinks in the evening. This outfit features a stunning tea-length dress that can be casual with sandals and a sweater thrown over. It can also easily be elevated with a pair of mules and by removing the sweater for your dinner reservations.
Top it off with fun sunglasses and the perfect cherry blossom-inspired bag!

🌅 Sunset Dinner at Blush
When the sun begins to dip over East Grand Traverse Bay, it's time to dress up for dinner at Blush, our rooftop restaurant. We love this Ulla Johnson floral silk dress paired with bold statement earrings. The Adeline dress will flow in the lake breeze and the floral details perfectly match the atmosphere of Blush.
The best part? No wallet or purse needed! You can charge your dinner and drinks to your guest room folio*. *ID required.
