There are so many great places to explore in Portland! I get asked a lot where some of my favorite spots are and one of the places I love to wander around and walk with a coffee is Mississippi street. There are some really great local shops, coffee and food and especially during the fall…lots of beautiful nature! You don’t have to always travel out of town to discover something new. It’s nice getting out to explore right in my own city! These pieces from Patricia Nash were perfect for my morning of venturing around Mississippi street. When I know I am going to be walk around a lot and possibly buying things or holding coffee, I prefer to have a cross body bag to make things comfortable and easy. It’s a bonus when the cross body fits things I want to buy like this one!

When fall rolls around, I tend to be drawn even more to neutral and brown tones. The print on these Patricia Nash Designs Marcella boots are great too because they are more unique than a normal brown boot. The embossed floral add a bit of feminine touch to my rugged vintage denim. The pieces are vintage inspired as well, which of course fits right in with my personal style!

In case you’re heading to Mississippi street in Portland soon, make sure to check out Pistils Nursery, the food carts at the end of the block, Fresh Pot Coffee or Jory Coffee and Por Que No to eat!

5 Teddy Coats to Try This Season!

Teddy coats are back…back again! I am all here for it! To be honest, I wasn’t the biggest fan when they came back last year but when I finally found a big oversized one at H&M, I was instantly hooked! I have been wearing mine around the house for the past few days and it’s great for stomping around the leaves in when I have to take my dog Blu out for a walk. Then when I was browsing on Amazon one day (I swear Amazon is the online Target lol) I saw this Teddy Sherpa jacket from Levi’s and I knew I had to get it! If you didn’t already know, I am a HUGE fan of Levi’s. Pretty much all of the jeans I have are vintage Levi’s or a couple of the new wedgie fit… I love them. My dad actually had a Levi’s denim jacket with the sherpa on the inside and it inspired me a bit to get this jacket as well.

I thought I would share some of my favorite teddy coats from this season in case you’re still on the fence about it or if you love them too and are ready to get one yourself!

Here are Five Teddy Coats to try this Season!

  1. Levi’s All Over Sherpa Trucker Jacket (as seen on me in the images above!)
  2. UO Cropped Teddy Coat (I have this one from last year and I love it!)
  3. Weekday Borg Teddy Coat
  4. Faux Sherling Teddy Coat
  5. Warehouse Double Breasted Teddy Coat

 

Let me know what you think of the teddy coat trend? Are you on board or not feeling this one? How would you style yours? Let me know in the comments!
Also, I am so excited to announce my blog is now on WordPress! This is a switch I have been wanting to do but I kept putting it off. SO happy about this! Anyways, happy Wednesday!

I’m going to be honest, I was not really looking forward to fall during the last few weeks of summer. Sounds pretty crazy right?! I felt like I was the only one not looking forward to the new season but it was mostly because this time of the year is the rainiest time in Portland. But now that fall is in full effect, I am reminded how much I love it. Every single thing about it has been so good already (minus the rain) but I always really love revisiting my fall clothes. Camel coats are one of the pieces that I always go back to this time of the year. They instantly pull any fall outfit together and of course are super warm and cozy! For some reason too, I always gravitate towards neutral tones during fall too. Maybe because the leaves change and everything else turns to browns, mustards and oranges…I think I like to feel like I am a part of it too. Lol Or I just like those colors!
Another thing I realized I have been wearing frequently this fall are plaid pants! Tartan and plaid are so popular right now and for good reason! Plus, they pair so well with camel coats. Double win!

Current Fall Favorites:
Camel Coats
Plaid Pants
Mules
Distressed Denim
