I love Date Nights! My husband is my favorite person on the planet, so to get quality, alone, hand-holding, strolling, convo time with him is just about the best thing in the world to me. It wasn’t exactly a date night when we shot this, since we had all four kiddos in tow, but we
Trend to Try Now: Shop Sleeveless Coats/Jackets
Spring is around the corner (right?!?!), and we’re taking the opportunity to start shopping some of the Spring 2015 trends we saw stomping down runways in New York this past September. A great one to start off with, is the sleeveless coat/jacket. Wear now over anything with long sleeves (think warm sweaters + jackets: motos,
Kisses for the Admiral
Happy Tuuuuesday! So, this outfit post is all about keeping it classic, and playing with proportions. I paired a fitted, slightly cropped, cutaway blazer (double-breasted is backkk!) with a flowy shirt dress, over some tan, leather-like, coated skinnies. I also added leopard pumps for some print interest, and a little forest green as a subtle
Orange is the New Black
Orange is absolutely my new, go-to, pick-me-up hue. I love wearing bright, bold color in the winter! I also happen to really love cold, dark, rainy/snowy weather, but I tend to reach for things that can instantly brighten up those days. Like this coat + scarf. Wearing: Chambray Shirt: Madewell. Jeans: Madewell. Coat: Zara (sold out
Heart Trenchingly Good

Heart Trench: Urban Outfitters (sold out – love this printed cape via Anthropologie!). Rings: Jules Smith (+ love this by JS, too). Boots: Juicy Couture (old – love these by Stuart
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
Merry Day-After Christmas! I hope you all had a joyful, blessed, Christmas day, and are still able to enjoy the truly most wonderful time of the year We sure are! 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 –
