 Last week we had a cold snap in Seattle so I stocked up on warm layers for Freyja so we didn’t have to stay cooped up all day. I’m just crazy about these little fury boots I found at where else? Target.
And though I am a huge fan of the ”Baby Leg’s” brand, these [...] 
I’d like to introduce our first ever guest blogger! She is a member of our extended family, my mother-in-law Becky, who has created a line of lovely, organic skin care called Principia. She lives the county life on her beautiful ranch in Wallowa County, Oregon with her attorney husband, a huge, white dog and a [...] Freyja (front) with Rachel's girls Sadie and Raeme. They had each picked out a few items for themselves to wear that day which included a few fairy/princess costumes. And they still managed to look adorable! I’m always so impressed with mothers who make an effort to dress their kids in really cute, pulled-together [...]  I hinted to Eric that my last bottle of perfume he got me was almost gone. So, what do you know, I got a beautifully wrapped bottle of Versace for our anniversary. For all the reasons stated before, I love fall. Out here, anyway, the summers can be so warm that it seems the primary goal [...]  I have had this necklace for a couple years now but I never tire of it! It is one of my best antique store finds, discovered at one of the little shops in Union Town, WA. I almost didn’t buy these boots when I was out on a recent shopping trip… I’m so glad I did [...]  This is just terrifically classic, flattering A-line skirt and cable knit sweater with a bangly necklace. I am seeing a lot of orange, plum and chartreuse out there for fall and I am thrilled. They are my favorite colors. Vera Wang is a favorite of mine though I tried this one on it ended up looking [...]  I know it’s Fall when I start pulling the sweaters down from above my closet! It’s not cold enough to warrant a coat but still, you need something a little cozy. I love this shawl-collar type of sweater (a gift to me when Tim and I were dating) and the fact that it’s made of cashmere [...] It’s fall when ….I polish my beat up cowboy boots and buy new socks.
Fall makeup: I stumbled on my new make up routine mostly because it takes 10 minutes to do. And because it’s a fresh change after wearing all that bronzer over the summer. Apply foundation and leave [...]
Fall is probably the most fashionable time of the year and makes us all crave back-to-school shopping– even if we’ve long outgrown it. Layers of leather, tweeds and scarves, lovely tall boots and plenty of warm color makes us swoon. So pull out your off-season boxes, and make a list of things to add to your wardrobe. That’s what [...] My grandpa's old cashmere sweater.
Made in Scotland. 100% cashmere. I don’t tend to be a sentimental person but I just couldn’t let this go to the Goodwill. It was my grandpa’s from several years ago and there is not a hole in it. It is a beautiful gray and as I said before, I [...] My newest acquisition. Ralph Lauren Baby.
One of my favorites, a cable knit one piece.
This little sweater will be so cute with the navy blue, velvet overalls. While I may not be doing much shopping for myself seeing that I only have 5 weeks to go and that I am saving all my pennies for [...] I should probably be more about my hair but I sorta just don’t care. I tried to for awhile. I went to a salon where they charged good money to cut my hair. Now I’ve settled on the walk-in places because when my hair needs cut, it needs cut now, not next week when they can [...] I think this bracelet came from my granny's jewelry box. How fun are these? They are huge clip-ons that pinch and pull on your ears but I'm waiting for a chance to wear them. I love this necklace of ivy leaves, it looks somewhat Grecian to me. I found it at a little shop [...] Who doesn’t love to have a professional pick out their makeup for them? Better yet, how about if they try it on you and make sure it looks good? To top it all of, what if you walk out the door with a new trick you learned to make your eyes look bigger, your lashes longer, and your sight [...]

As a mother of five daughters, we have dealt extensively with the issue of modesty. We have had, over the years, people who think they need to comment on our daughters’ dress in a critical way. People who have taken it upon themselves to tell them they think their [...] Something about this tag is extremely appealing to me. I bought a new pair of jeans recently, a brand I have bought and liked in the past, Lucky. They looked like they were cut a little differently than the current pair I was in love with and wearing but I thought maybe time had altered [...] I’ve lived in Seattle’s Capitol Hill district for just over 4 months now and I see things differently. That is to say, I don’t trip over the sidewalk or small dogs in disbelief anymore when I see someone sporting a cherry red beard and coat to match. (I am Not making this up, folks). Broadway is [...] #gallery-1 { By way of explanation…. I mentioned in one of my earlier posts that I had some clothes made while we were in Vietnam. Ok. That’s an understatement. I had a wardrobe of clothes made. When we got back to [...] |
