Fall is finally upon us! I have mixed emotions about this. Summer was so hot and oppressive and seemingly long (because of the heat, I am sure) that all I wanted was for it to be fall….

The next destination on our road trip was the California Redwoods!! We had two full days to explore and commune with the trees, which wasn’t nearly enough time. But we did manage to see…

While the sun is few and far between these days, I like being able to take advantage of the days when it is nice. For today’s post, I was able to bask in the sunset of one such day while I…

I’ve always loved road trips. As a kid, it was fun to sit in the backseat, listen to music on my cassette Walkman, and eat tasty road trip foods - like peanuts in my Coke. Of course, when…

Well, I brought out my boots, so you know what that means - it’s officially fall!! I cannot tell you how happy I am to have crisp fall air and changing leaves. Of course, in the Pacific…

Well, it has been a tough week for anyone with a heart. I’ve found myself more prone to panic attacks this week, so I’ve tried to take it easy and go easy on myself. I often find that I…

I often encourage you all to step out of your comfort zones from time to time and challenge yourselves to try something new, or something you are wary of. Usually that pertains to fashion,…

In today’s post, I am giving you a HUGE swatchfest of the various collections and items I have bought from Colourpop this year. This post covers the Pressed Powder Shadows (minus the fall ones…

This year I have become a HUGE fan of the denim offerings from Melissa McCarthy’s Seven7 brand. Back in March, I purchased my first item from the brand - a pair of boyfriend capris. I…

After a productive holiday weekend of crossing off half of my to-do list, a felt a bit more confident in tackling things this week. The fires in the Columbia River Gorge have brought a lot of…

I’ve been obsessed with all things Torrid as of late. Well, really it has been quite some time. Torrid keeps coming out with cute, fashionable, trendy pieces for a variety of…

In today’s post, we’re talking about the Winnie Wrap Dress from Kiyonna. The wrap dress is a classic style and silhouette and a great wardrobe staple. Kiyonna always excels at this style…

As a complement to yesterday’s post journaling my first adventure at the Portland Highland Games, today I am discussing the outfit I wore on such an occasion. As mentioned multiple times here…

As you know, I am a huge fan of the television show (and book series) Outlander . Sean has known he has Scottish ancestry for quite some time, but I found out about mine when we did an ancestry…

If you read yesterday’s post , you know it is too friggin’ hot for me this week. It managed to get up to 104-ish today, which it will also be tomorrow when Sean and I head to doggy…

I like the idea of summer, but not the execution. I hate the heat. Anything over 75 starts making me super cranky. This week we have two days of 107 degree weather followed by two…

I’ve always viewed the Fourth of July as a very romantic holiday filled with excitement and anticipation. As a single person for a majority of my life, I often fantasized about…

Happy Wednesday! I hope you are all having a lovely week. Over the weekend, Sean and I were joined by my mother-in-law and headed to our first Highland Games! I’m looking forward to…

We’re certainly in the midst of summer now! I hope you are all staying cool and are busy with fun summer activities. Sean and I finally had a chance to clean up and work on the office…

I’ve been a New Kids On The Block fan for 29 years. I was always out and proud about it, so I was picked on relentlessly for it - both at home and at school. I credit the New Kids’…
