Here in the PNW we do not often get sunshine and warmth in the autumn months. I mean, don’t get me wrong, there is usually some sunshine… it’s just surrounded by days and day and days of rain and/or overcast skies and cold. This last October was a somewhat extended summer and I took full advantage.… Continue reading Sunflowers and sunshine
I love love love surprises! So subscriptions are right up my alley. You’d think I’d have tried more than two? (I really should try more…) I currently have a monthly Ipsy Glam Bag subscription, but wanted to try one that was more than just makeup. I saw a Facebook ad pop up (I am kind… Continue reading Subscription with a cause
K and I went pumpkin patching a few weeks ago. We were originally headed to Sauvies’ Island not realizing how popular it had gotten over the past few years–the line stretched for 2.5miles just to get to the island, not even the patch itself! We said no thank you, google-mapped the next closest patch and… Continue reading Pumpkin adventures
Date night! These days date night can mean different things: a lavish and expensive affair? A quiet and simple dinner and a movie? Or a stay-at-home order in and Netflix. While I usually prefer the latter, it is fun to get dressed up and fancy every once and awhile and step out. While my autumn… Continue reading date night and cheetahs
When I saw this shirt on Pinterest I had to have it! I clicked on the picture and it took me to another blogger’s Instagram, but she had not linked back to where she got it and was not responding to my queries, so I googled all sorts of things and found it at Urban… Continue reading Flora and fall
A few weeks ago Ulta had their 21 days of beauty deals. Since I have all the makeup and more, I really wasn’t interested in picking up too much new stuff. The only item I blow through like it is going out of style is mascara so I picked up some of Ulta’s brand for… Continue reading Chocolate: a woman’s bff
Casual day! I love this tank top–it’s one of my thrifty finds. Here, I paired it with a simple pair of jeans and a pop of color with a cute sports bra and (totally by accident) matching sandals. Can we just talk for a minute about this tank?! I love that it is a giant… Continue reading wear my heart on my sleeve
When it is 90+ degrees in the PNW (not a common occurrence) I wear basics basics basics. Short booty shorts, flowing cotton tank, high tops, reflective sunnies.. and I am good to go. How are you surviving the summer heat? The Details: charcoal gray tank (Rehab, thrifted, shop their site here); black booty shorts (Volcom,… Continue reading skater girl–she said see you later girl
Did you know? Pink is my favorite color! I was raised on Disney princesses, but tried so hard to be a “tomboy” (whatever that means). I loved sports, ran with the boys, and pretended my favorite color was green (I mean, it’s my second favorite color if I had to choose). But deep down in… Continue reading Pink dreams
I normally shy away from long dresses since I am a wee on the short side (5’4″-ish?). However, I could not pass up this floral beauty from Forever21! They are constantly cycling through clothes/styles so I snagged this for $3 on sale and it was the last one in my size. While it was a… Continue reading Maximize that maxi
