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. 

F is for {Floral}

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.

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. 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. 

Black & Yellow

Back in March my wonderful sister & I did a photoshoot.
Black & yellow with a pop of blue. I fell in love with this jean jacket!
Worn just about everywhere ♥

Bee Happy

Hey lovelies.

It's been awhile,

again...

I guess I'm just one busy bee.

(;

I took these less than an hour ago.

My dad's a beekeeper & there are tons of bee hives outside of my house.

They are loving the blossoming apple orchard also in our backyard.

Yeah, I'm brave enough to go outside when thousands of these little workers are flying around (;

Hope y'all like it &

Happy Saturday!

Apologies&Baptism

All my lovely followers,

 I so greatly apologize for my absence and major slack on blogging!

It has been a crazy few weeks!

So much has happened & I've just been really busy with everything.

Promise to not do it again!

I've gathered many pictures & posts so I'll be posting often now (:

Anyways lets start with...

I GOT BAPTIZED!

For those of you who dont know what that is..

Since I am a Christian and a follower of Jesus Christ,

this is just a way of completely committing your life to God.

You make a covenant/promise that you will honor and serve God for the rest of your life.

If you have more questions about it, ask away!

It was an exciting/nervous day!

I got a lot of love & flowers from friends and family.

Here are pictures from the big day!

getting ready!
