Walking On A Dream

Today marked 6 months with the love of my life and my best friend. I have grown so much since Mr. and I began dating. The joy I feel when I'm with him is indescribable and gets better with every moment. We have made huge strides together. Experienced joy and sorrow together. Traveled and explored together. Crafted and created together. Loved and laughed together. I'm beyond blessed and so in love.

I Spy

I'm on the hunt for the perfect pair of frames. I've avoided the concept of wearing glasses for two reasons: 1. I hate going to the optometrist, and 2. I wore glasses for the first 13 years of my life and really wanted to avoid that whole "hot-pink thick round rim" scenario for good. However, lately my schedule has been changing and I've realized that my vision is severely effected when I'm tired. Sooo I'm looking for a fun pair of frames that will only enhance my personality and wardrobe all the while not overshadowing my face. I need your help!!

I found this great site called Warby Parker, where (like TOMS) with each pair of glasses purchased, they give a pair away to a person in need. I love the idea and the frame selection is current, trendy and good quality. I've selected my top 3, but before I order I'd like some outside opinions.... what do you think???

Gold On The Ground

I finally went to the pumpkin patch, brought some hot buttered rum and snapped some lovely photos of the beautiful day. I love supporting the local farmers, and the produce they sell is always sweeter, brighter and better than any store-bought produce. Support your local farmers!!I also wanted to bring you some of my favorite cold weather tracks to help liven your Autumn adventures... enjoy darlings!

Fall-ing 2011

Fall has finally reached us in Portland. I am so inspired by the brisk + blustery weather, it's got me curling up and taking cat naps, layering sweaters on top of sweaters, drinking an excess of tea and coffee, playing my favorite new albums over and over. I've began cooking and baking up a storm, testing out recipes in anticipation of this year's Thanksgiving, and have already set out to find the perfect Christmas gifts for my loved ones. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but I can't help it!

Two Peas in a Peacoat

Mr and I both own black peacoats and we love wearing them to keep warm. Over the weekend, we went for a lovely walk through the wilderness to view the Oregon/Washington Gorge. It was lovely, misty and most of all...chilly. Our peacoats came in quite invaluably. We thought it'd be fun to document our "His" and "Hers" outfits side by side. Look and see what we wore:
