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 ♡
