New Maps

I'm finding pleasure in the simplest things. With almost one year in Portland under my belt, I decided to treat myself to the cheapest makeover a girl can buy: red lipstick. I know many of you have already jumped on the ruby train, but I'm coming into it for the first time excited and feeling fresh. It's amazing what a little oomph in one's makeup routine can do to transform one's look, even one's attitude. I'm excited about this little adventure and the confidence I hope it brings. I know it's early, but I'm looking forward to another year here, come what may.
What I wore: Russian Red Matte Lipstick from MAC. Betty C Sunnies. G Star Raw overcoat. Metallic Silver Knit Sweater from GAP. Grey Tank from H+M. Nudies Raw Denim Jeans from Local35. Bambi Motorcycle Boots by Lucky. Bucket Tote, vintage by Coach.

instagram fool

I'm hooked. Instagram was one of those things I tried to stray away from for the longest time, simply because I didn't want ANOTHER social media addiction. Then I downloaded it and it opened my eyes to the simple joy of sharing what I'm seeing with friends. I like it so much more than Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr combined. Long story short... if you have instagram you should follow me: @seablanket

Dances With Wolves

Huskies, huskies, huskies. Guess what kind of dog I want now?! I spent last week house-sitting for a friend who owns two incredibly handsome wolf pups, and all I could do was cuddle up with them. Mr and I have been playing house, making meals, feeding the chickens and playing with the huskies as much as we can. What a fun and relaxing get away from real life. It's going to be difficult to adjust back to my old house and petlessness.... I think I know what I'll be asking Santa for this year!
