Happy Christmas

Posted on 24 Dec ’12

In lieu of the regular 365 post today, I just wanted to take a moment and wish you all a safe and enchanting holiday. And since I couldn’t afford to send everyone out there a card, I figured I would share it here. I had so much fun putting it together. And now, to get you in the holiday spirit, check out these photographs I took a few days ago at Pittock Mansion, which is all decked out for Christmas! Each room was decorated in regards to a traditional Christmas song. I kept asking the employees if I could live at the mansion but they just laughed at me as if I wasn’t being serious…

Xtabay Holiday Fashion Show

Posted on 7 Dec ’12

The show was such fun. The crowd was absolutely amazing and the girls looked stunning in their red lips and vintage attire. The show also raised $1200 for the Cascade AIDS Project, which is incredible. A special thank you to Liz Gross, owner of Xtabay, for making this short girl’s dream come true: I never thought I would have the pleasure of walking a runway show and now, I have! Just in case you weren’t able to make it to the show, you can still see us strut our stuff modeling the amazing vintage coats, cocktail dresses and gowns. I wanted to share a few of the wonderful photographs taken by my husband (edited by mio). You can view the entire album on my facebook page. First up, were coats… Next came…

Week 48 (Project 365)

Posted on 4 Dec ’12

Obligatory ‘reflection in ornament’ shot for this week’s 52. Do you have your holiday decorations up yet? And now, my week in photographs… Sunday (November 25th): The deer has his red nose. Now the holidays are really upon us. Monday (November 26th): A visit to Cacao. More soon. Tuesday (November 27th): Admiring the rain. Wednesday (November 28th): Came down with a nasty head cold yesterday. I don’t know why, but I definitely consider sushi one of my comfort foods. I could probably eat sushi once a day for the rest of my life. Thursday (November 29th): Burts Bees has some lovely holiday gift sets out. Couldn’t resist picking up the head to toe kit. Friday (November 30th): Decked out in jewels at the rehearsal for the…

Week 46 (Project 365)

Posted on 22 Nov ’12

Whoa. I’m not sure how it happened, but it’s already Thursday and I haven’t posted my weekly 365! I guess I blame it on the craziness that is the holiday season. Speaking of holidays, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Cory and I will be spending it at my in laws today. For this week’s 52, I’m hanging out at one of my favorite neighborhood coffee shops. And now, my week in photographs… Sunday (November 11th): One of the many awesome cars that hangout in our parking lot. Monday (November 12th): An early birthday gift I gave Cory. We have been enjoying warm tea and snuggles in bed on these cold, rainy nights. Tuesday (November 13th): Bikes. Wednesday (November 14th): Coffee and magazines at the library. Thursday (November…

Valentine’s Day

Posted on 16 Feb ’12

I love holidays. I celebrate as many as I can. I know a lot of people *hate* Valentine’s day, but I’ve always loved it. In my single college days, I used to bring homemade cupcakes into class for everyone. I believe Valentine’s day is an excuse to tell people you love them by doing something special and making a memory. How can a holiday like that be wrong? I really like what my friend Beckie had to say about it on my post yesterday. She said,”When Valentine’s Day is about generic gifts that are demanded/expected, they really don’t mean anything at all and I can see how that turns people off of the day. But Valentine’s Day can be so much more! Celebrating friends, family,…

Bits of Christmas

Posted on 29 Dec ’11

I was very ill right before Christmas. I was literally in bed with a migraine for three days. I had to miss a few Christmas parties but overall we had a great holiday. Lots of family, lots of friends, lots of time together, just Cory and me. We decorated our home and read Christmas books under the tree. I designed and mailed out Christmas cards for the first time ever. We froze our butts off and rode a tractor around an absolutely amazing Christmas tree farm where we sipped on cocoa, snuggled by the fire and chopped down a noble fir (I can’t wait to go back next year). We took an untraditional portrait in front of our Christmas tree. We got to kiss underneath the…
