Yes, last week it really was warm enough for a backless dress. Now it’s cooler and rainy, but it’s actually kind of a relief. It just felt way too soon for that much sun, especially in Portland. Plus, after the first spring shower, everything smelled fresh and wonderful. Last week I worked on some jewelry […]
Links I Like
Hello friends! Just a little blog note before I get to the links: I just changed my comment system to Disqus. I tried it a long time ago and had problems, but I got word that people are having trouble with my current system, so I’m giving it another go. I hope it’s an improvement! […]
Outfit Post: Summer Preview
It has been incredibly nice here for the past few days, especially since it’s barely May. We’re talking 80-degree temperatures here. I’ve got a batch of cold brew coffee on the counter, and some new homemade popsicles in the freezer (check back next week for the recipe). I even pulled out the sandals from the […]

The strap length was all wrong, making the bag really uncomfortable and unwieldy to carry, and it wasn’t really big enough for all of my stuff. Which makes sense, considering that I don’t think it was actually […]

April Window Shopping
Just doing a little window shopping for springy finds to upgrade my home and wardrobe. I’m still crazy for mint and plants, and I could use a big hat to keep the sun off my face while I’m doing yardwork. The dress, necklace, and shoes are for after-work drinks on the warm evenings that are […]
Outfit Post: Fierce
I guess a messy braid and fringed suede booties are pretty bohemian, which is normally not my style. But I tried to toughen them up with my tigress shirt (yeah, I’ve decided it’s a lady tiger), and skinny jeans. This t-shirt is one of the few I wear regularly, and definitely a favorite. Why is […]

Love this great idea to blow up a strip of photobooth pictures. I definitely need to make some of this grapefruit sangria soon. Martha Stewart’s take on neon jewelry is super fun. Not enough neon for you? Okay, here’s a little bit more. These neon-trimmed purses would be a great spring accessory. The uses for […]
