The fashion-forward dress company London Times is hosting a Savvy Summer campaign and invited me to be a part of it!… Read More—>
Once I made this DIY Eyelash Applique shirt, I started to think of all the ways to wear it. Wearing with a pair of jeans is awesome, and makes a casual outfit a little more tongue-in-cheek (or eyelashes-on-mammaries?) Pairing with a sweet flippy skirt was how I wore it at the latest Portland Bloggers Meetup a couple weeks ago (though you can’t tell in the picture).
But on this day, to make it a little more dressy and to counteract a pair of very sleepy boobs, I added a loose pair of crazy jungle-print pants from Forever 21.
I’m in love with the crazy floral and leafy-print, so much so that I’m willing to overlook the flimsy material that seems to rip each time I wear them. I know have to do some serious mending! *sigh*
I DIY’ed my own version of the ubiquitous transparent clutch, but I’m not loving it so much. I have to do a couple tweaks on the design before I can share on the blog, unfortunately.
I’m now off to a dinner at my husband’s workplace…it’s Hub’s birthday in a couple days and so his coworkers are throwing him a party. The sleepy boobs shirt is staying home, though! Hope everyone’s having a great weekend!

The cherry blossoms dropped a couple weeks ago, but the plum blossoms are just raining down! It’s like snow here in Portland. Just gorgeous wherever you go.

Today Brooke and I ventured to the Salmon Street Springs in the Governor Tom McCall Waterfront Park, a lovely park that skirts the waterfront of the Willamette River that splits Portland in two. Notwithstanding minor parking issues (like a designated 15-minute zone) and heels that I found offered no metatarsal support (like none whatsoever! How I keep forgetting to implement shoe inserts in these is beyond me), we still captured some great pictures in the early morning light. … Read More—>
Backtracking a bit to share what I wore to the March Portland Bloggers’ Meetup Event “Strike a Pose” 2 Sundays ago. (I still need to post photos from that super-fun day…which I will…soon….)… Read More—>

After a long day of design work and fabrication I’m practically dead on my feet….which means I’m putting off today’s outfit post for tomorrow.
Just a quick detail shot…more to come soon.

No, this is not today’s outfit, nor yesterday’s outfit, but last week’s outfit. Other content had to be pushed out first so I put this outfit on the back burner til today…but decided to share it anyway!… Read More—>
I took some time out in the middle of the week to shoot with the amazing photographer Brooke Morse again.
