We’re currently camping near the Oregon coast but I’ve decided to really make the effort to blog more once we get home. My plan once we’re back in Portland is basically to sit around working & waiting to pop out this baby (We’re almost at 34 weeks!) so I figure it’s a good time to [...]
Donny usually does better than me at thrifting and discount shopping and yesterday was no exception. First we hit up Salvation Army in search of nursery furniture, but came home with this Moustash Rides trucker hat. It cost 99 cents and looked totally grimy but he managed to get it completely clean (One run through [...]
I have only done a couple of pregnancy updates because I think they’re kind of boring if you aren’t pregnant yourself, but I am in my third trimester now and this doubles as a Look of the Day post. After an extra month of winter weather, yesterday was close to 100 degrees so I spent [...]
This afternoon we hit up my father-in-law’s house for the first BBQ of the season, and today’s Look of the Day is my husband Donny. He bought this shirt for $10 this winter and had been waiting to wear it – Today was a wonderful 80 degrees, perfect for steak, grilled corn on the cob [...]
Considering it was still raining on Friday night, I was skeptical of the weather report claiming it would be 70 and sunny for the Rose Festival on Saturday, but it was actually hot outside by noon. Before heading downtown, D and I ran some errands and hit up the Lake Oswego Farmers’ Market to mingle, [...]
I’m not in the camp that is completely against leggings as pants. Like anything, it depends on the person wearing them. Or maybe I’m just using pregnancy as an excuse not to give a fuck. Either way, here is my look from today (photo taken at Walgreens). Leggings from Target, black tank from Express, Husband’s [...]
Yesterday was Game 6 of first round NBA Playoffs for the Portland Trail Blazers. Since meeting my husband, I’ve gone from knowing zero about the game to being a pretty hardcore Blazer fan, so I was thrilled when my friend Brittanie scored tickets for the 6th Playoff game. Unfortunately the team lost and was eliminated [...]
A couple months ago I was lucky enough to win these high-waisted sequin shorts from Posh Pants. (For those of you wary of entering contests, I enter a lot of online giveaways, and I win a lot too. Most entries only take a couple minutes, and the prizes can be well worth it.) I’ve been [...]
On Saturday we picked up food from our latest grub obsession, Thai Fresh. The weather was perfect – slightly chilly, but sunny, and I finally had an excuse to rock my SW Celebrity Sunglasses. Cheap sunnies are usually all the same, but for only $15 retail, these silver frames are dope and durable. Sunglasses are [...]
Last Wednesday Donny and I decided to get married. On Friday (my birthday; I turned 23) we filled out papers, and on Monday, May 11th, we were married in a quick ceremony by a minister I found via Craigslist! I really wanted to wear white at first, but when I found this gorgeous cappucino dress, [...]
This is my fave lookso far put together with these snakeskin leggings from Sweet Boutique. I shop for structure and don’t have many long/flowy tanks, but I picked up this secondhand Old Navy dress last summer for $5 with the sole intention of pairing with that studded belt in the style of Carrie Bradshaw.
