Reporting for Winter Combat Duty
As soon as winter really kicks in (read: after the holidays are over, and cold, wet weather has lost its jingle-bell-cozy bloom), I immediately turn to color for a pick-me-up. Although I can’t say we’re in full-blown winter here (it has actually been quite sunny and gorgeous, lately), I still find myself reaching for vibrant hues.
Playing on the Varsity Team
So. The Varsity Jacket. Also synonymous with baseball and lettermans, but not to be confused with bombers, which is really confusing when your jacket is labeled “Dugout Varsity Bomber.” Sigh. Come on fashion world – that’s just annoying. So annoying, that I took it upon myself to research the origins of both the Varsity jacket
Pantone Color of the Year 2015: Marsala
Happy New Year!!! I thought I’d kick off the blog this first, fine, bright day of 2015, by wearing shades of the Color of the Year: Marsala. If you haven’t yet met Marsala, allow me to introduce you via Pantone… All images above are via www.pantone.com She’s pretty, right? And yet so down to earth,
Snow, Sleet, or Rain…. Shine + Sparkle On
This NYE shoot was slightly comical. Between the gusty wind, rain, sleet, and snow avalanching down from the trees, it’s a wonder that there are any dry patches of outfit to sport in this look. This very Mary Poppins meets Narnia shoot and weather scenario is actually kind of a great metaphor of my life this
Into the Snowy Woods

It’s kinda hard not to, when you live close to beautiful places like this, here in Oregon…. Wearing: Mint Sweater: Gap. Chambray Shirt: Madewell (old –
It's the Little Things
I cannot even tell you how abundantly (and undeservedly), blessed and happy I am. Yesterday started with a solid, ten-minute, giggly cuddle with my two-year-old in my bed (rare treat from that always-on-the-go guy), got sandwiched with a much anticipated arrival of my little sister from NYC, got topped with a dance fest with said
A Full, Striped, Happy Heart
It’s almost the weekend before Christmas!!! How did that happen?! I’m so excited!! My little sister is coming into town soon, and my kiddos are literally bouncing these last days away in anticipation (coulddd be the sugar cookies, too), and their eyes have the cutest, sweetest, extra-twinkle in them – it truly is the most wonderful
Down by the River
Sooooo. I just got back from spending four, glorious days on a little getaway with my husband, celebrating our recent anni, and did I say it was glorious? Because it was. Heaven, really. We got to have long, uninterrupted convos, sleeeeeeeeep in (!!!!!!), hold hands and stroll, go out for all our meals, leisure shop,
Paint the Town Pink
My husband and I just celebrated our 15th wedding anni, and properly celebrated it at a holiday party in town with great food, friends, and dancing – best way to do it, in my book! Klamath Falls is a small, laid back town, so I kept everything pretty simple with small touches of sparkle, and
