Just a quick note...

It's still a work in progress as I teach myself how to master Wordpress, but I am now going to be updating over at my new blog. I made the choice to switch over so that I could control the layout more, and make it easier on all of your pretty little eyes ;)

So bear with me, and thank you... see you there!

Until then, xoxo

So very appropriate

This morning it is super rainy in Portland in that way that we crave as natives here in the city. So gorgeous to watch out the window, and this website is the perfect fit for the day of online browsing. With a great soundtrack and great photos of some of the best trench coats out right now, you can't help but fall in love. Burberry, you've done it again...

Visit Art of the Trench over at Burberry now for some great photos by The Sartorialist himself, some greta rainy day tunes, and some incredible style.

Happy Drooling ;)

TGIF!

I am hoping to get some of my posts up today from NYC, as I was MIA this whole last week due to a little adventure I was on! I promise to update soon as I took lots of pics this time (and I'm out sick again today). In the meantime, a little fun from over at the Nylon Mag blog.

Halloween Memories 2009

This year I had some pretty good memories from Halloween. Here are some of the highlights from 2009:

Going out as Don & Betty Draper for an evening. And boy, does Darrin make a good Don ;)

Walking up to the bar to see a girl raving about her proposal that had just taken place. I sure hope she remembers it...

My fake chest tattoo.

"Marking" my man as they would say on Mad Men.

The great costume swap of 2009.

And one very excited tele-tubby!

Halloween!

So my glorious prior roomies threw a great party on Friday night that they decorated so adorable, had to share! They though of every last detail from the witches' brew, to Bloody Mary in lipstick on the bathroom mirror. Pretty fun!

Our adorable hostesses (Robin Hood & the sexy clown!)

The handmade bat trail leading through the house!

Bats were hidden everywhere!

Cute pumpkins under the counters even!

Very cute decorating though, even entering through a forest of streamers! One of the many reasons I love having crafty, creative friends! What a fun night it was as well, gt us ready to go for real Halloween the next night for sure!

My love for Red Jackets...

Saw this incredible image over on The Satorialist. I love red coats like this (as you may have noticed by now), and hope that some of the photos from our shoot with my red coat come back good! I've been obsessed with the red coat & dark hair look since I first saw the movie Love Actually. I don't know if it's just her accent, but what a great look!

Photoshoot

As some of you have seen me blog before, we are big fans of our friends over at Honeysuckle Photography. Maggie went to school with us, and has an incredible design eye as a photographer. She photographed one of my dearest girlfriends weddings, and has done quite a few other friends of ours as well. If you haven't checked them out yet, you're missing out!

So Maggie asked Darrin and I if we would be interested in doing a shoot for fun. We thought it sounded like a great idea, and spent the afternoon running around Portland in some of our favorite neighborhoods being goofballs. She posted a few of her first photos on her blog here, and will be posting more soon when she gets done editing. I can't wait to see how the color turns out in some of the ones she took, but hasn't posted yet! More to come...
