Spring Day

Who doesn't love a good sunny spring day. They are rare in Oregon, but when the sunshine comes out everything comes to life. This was a couple of fridays ago, a few beautiful ladies & I got tickets for a Mindy Gledhill concert in St. Helens. But we decided to make an entire day out of it and get lunch, explore Portland, drive to the show, roam around the tiny town, and of course snap some photos. 

My simple & spring-y outfit:

- UO sweater & socks

- Joe's pants

- Dolce Vita shoes

All of these beauties have gone through more life than I have, and are each an inspiration to me. Wives, mothers, sisters, & friends. I look up to them & love having girl dates with them - until next time. 

P.S. My Europe trip posts will still be posted as planned, stay tuned lovely followers.

Yesterday, we had a tea party in my sister's backyard. And what a marvelous time it was. The evening was filled with picture-taking, video-making, music, dancing, and of course tea-drinking. The warm weather has returned to Portland, hopefully for a while now, and spending a spring-almost-summer evening outside couldn't have been more perfect. 

 Spring term is almost over, I've just got some finals to get through. I can't wait to cross off some things on my to-do list this summer. I'd like to do some more research about different universities and careers in order to get a better focus on what I want to do when I "grow up". Especially now, I keep getting asked, "What's your major?" or "What are you going for?" My answer: "Business, I guess." I know I have time to figure it out, but the sooner, the better. Besides school stuff, I want to enjoy my leisure time as well. I won't be completely free because I'm still taking three online classes, but that shouldn't be too rough. I miss reading books, normal books. Not textbooks! So I cannot wait to finally start going through my unread bookshelf. And to my poor, unused camera that's been gathering dust, I will pick you up again, I will! That's what's on my mind on this sunny Wednesday. Be blessed friends ♡.

I'm loving the Juicy Couture bag I recently purchased, the pretty lilac-y color goes great with a lot of looks especially for spring/summer. And that denim vest used to be a jacket, I cut the sleeves off because I just couldn't find the right jean vest for summer last year, so I made my own.

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 ♡

Birthday Celebrations {Part 2}

I promised you more. Here it is. A lovely photoshoot my sister & I did in my backyard. Then we picked up my best friend and found some field with tire swings.

Birthday Celebrations {Part 1}

My birthday was on September 6! & my sister and I did a few photoshoots. Here's just a few shots in my very girly and colorful room:

She got me the gorgeous quilt from Anthropologie. 

No celebration would be complete without the two boys in my life: my handsome nephews.

Sweet Sixteen

Hey there everybody! I know, I know. It's been what? Almost a month. Can't blame a girl for having fun! It's been a good summer, & I have exactly ONE week left before school starts. Who knows if I'll be blogging then, with the mountains of homework I'll have to be dealing with! But I'll try. So this past friday my wonderful sister, her blog HERE, threw me a surprise sweet sixteen! I've never had a surprise birthday and it was so much fun, and I had NO idea! All my friends did a good job keeping the secret, mom included. Here's just some pictures of my friends and I at the party. Go to my sisters blog see more of the stunning decorations she did! She is the best sister in the world! Love her lots ♥.
