Sunny Days Ahead

While on spring break in Seattle..

I was on a run to the grocery store with friends and we stopped by Grand Central Bakery. I was like ooo, a colored wall! I grabbed my camera and handed it to my friend to snap some pictures. Very random. Very casual.

 My go-to look: high waisted pants & a crop top. I've overworn these black BDG pants from UO. They are my absolute favorite pair of pants that I've ever owned. They make me look & feel great & they go with everything. 

I'm back home already, and the weather cannot be more perfect here in Oregon. It's going to be 74 degrees today! What? It still surprised me when I saw the sunlight peeking through my window this morning. Even though I'm more than ready to put away the winter sweaters for good, I'm still afraid to commit to warm weather clothes. But my pedicured toes are ready for sandals, so bring it on. Rain or shine. More like rain rather than shine. Oh well.

Time to soak up the sun today. 

Hope everyone's week went well.

Happy Saturday ☀

Double Denim

I was just spending the afternoon drinking tea and watching haircuts when another colored wall was found... I went for the double denim look and broke out my new boots that happen to match my man's. I felt just at home on Hawthorne St., where everyone seems to be sporting "hipster" style. Practically my whole outfit is from Urban Outfitters; no surprise there. It's my favorite store, and the only place that has perfect-fitting highwaisted pants.

I'll be spending my spring break in Seattle this week, and it couldn't have been a more perfect time. The weather is in the 60s with sunshine & NO rain. Crazy Pacific Northwest, but I'm lovin' it.

For those of you who aren't relaxing this week, Im sorry.
Happy Monday anyways.

Despite the Oregon rain & cold, it was such a fun Sunday afternoon with the Portland Bloggers ladies at the "Strike a Pose" event. I was in the group with the very talented Margaret Jacobsen, who took the beautiful photos above. I got to wear the bracelet from chloe + isabel, who were at the event letting us borrow items for our photoshoots. There was also a giveaway from them, that I won! & I never win anything... I got these pretty honeycomb style earrings, which was just meant to be since I'm a beekeeper's daughter (; 

I'm taking a break from studying for finals, but it's time to return. 

Hope you all have an have an incredible weekend, I know I will. I'm running my first marathon 5k on Sunday, St. Patrick's Day, called the Shamrock Run. I'm excited to see how that goes, hopefully I won't come in last (: 

Be blessed friends. 

{Well-Spent Afternoon}

Today was a day filled with exploring with my sister: vintage pretty. It was long overdue, but we finally got to spend some time together & break out the camera. We found cool colored walls, drank some tea with macaroons, & did some antique & craft shopping. It was a lovely & well-spent afternoon ♡

Be Happy

We had a smidgin of sun this week, and I got to enjoy some of it at the beach. 

Here in Oregon, we try to soak in as much Vitamin D as we can. 

I've been remininising summer days, as I'm sure many of you have.  

Anyways, just sending out a positive message to y'all.

I'm over here dreaming big and being happy. 

Blessings to you this week.

This day I spent wandering the Pearl with a friend. We had Barista, lunch, and of course snapped some shots. I felt like breaking out my new hat; it seemed just right for this look.


Btw friends, I'm not so blonde anymore:

Everyone seems to love it, so that's good news.

Well, there's an update,
hope you all have a great week & spend Thursday with someone special, and if not, at least treat yourself to something sweet. 

Time Flies

It's February tomorrow. 

& next week is already mid-term.. what? 

Anyone else feel like time is soaring?

...........

What I'm looking forward to next month:

- I might not have a Valentine, but it won't stop me from dressing to impress on the 14th.

possibilities:

a red dress.

 red pants.

 striped red.

 a red blazer.

red shoes.

red lips & nails.

I initially thought I had more things to look forward to, but what else is in February besides Valentine's Day? I guess I should be glad it's a short month and it'll be over quickly. Then there's spring break in March! 

Anyways... enjoy February dear ones ♡
