Whew, staying cool around here is tough. Living in San Francisco for the last 5 years, I kind of forgot about how to deal with real heat (and we just don’t have the kind of humidity in Oregon that they have out east). In an attempt to keep the sun off my face I pulled […]
Portland Raindrops
The Pacific Northwest is known for being just a tad bit rainy, especially in the winter. After the wedding we stopped into some cute little shops near our hotel, and Steven bought some Portland raindrop magnets to put on our refrigerator. You can get your own set right here from bishopart. They’re just about the […]
Sweets
Photo by Karla Z. We won’t have any of the official wedding photos for awhile, but I thought I’d share some of the ones taken by family and friends. I figured I’d start with the sweet stuff. As I’ve mentioned a few times, my sister Andrea made our cake. She spent several days in the […]
Catching my breath
It’s been a crazy week, but we got married on Sunday! For now we are trying to just relax and enjoy a few days together in Portland before we go back to the East coast, but I thought I’d share of few peaks from the wedding so no one dies of anticipation (kidding!) I’ll have […]
Wedding Invitations
Today we’re leaving for Portland to get married next weekend. I thought it would be a good time to share the wedding invitations that we sent our guests. Steven and I collaborated on them. I did an initial sketch, we went back and forth with the design a bit, then he inked, painted, and lettered […]
Spotty Coverage
I usually don’t bother to include my purse in my outfit post, because it’s often the same one, but this time I got more creative. Though I have a pile of vintage purses, moving my stuff from one purse to another is usually too much trouble. I literally stumbled across this one, though, and it […]
Sorry to have dropped out of the blogging world for so long there! I truly intended to post while I was in Portland, but I was super busy, plus I forgot my camera cable. It felt like I was running around like crazy while I was there, trying to get as much done for the […]
Projects
Lately I’ve been working on a couple of wedding-related projects, and tomorrow I’m headed to Portland for my baby sister’s college graduation. While I’m there I’ll be really busy with graduation and wedding stuff, including seeing our venue for the first time! I have a couple of projects planned for while I’m there that I’m […]
Nautical Mustard
True story: the second time I wore this top, I wore it inside-out the whole day. This included activities with other people, and stops in front of a mirror, so I guess it wasn’t really noticeable. I was kind of mortified when I realized it at the end of the day, though. Top: Made by […]
