Feeling Fall

Vintage will always be near and dear to my heart. It’s what first really got me inspired to start blogging and is what majority of my outfits were when I first started as well. When I had more time, my favorite thing ever was to go search through racks at the thrift store and see what hidden gems I could find. Now, I can’t seem to find the time as often to sift through the stores but when I do it’s always worth it. I found this top a few months ago when it was a little to warm to wear it and I am so happy to finally bust it out. The colors are so reminiscent of fall! I love how modern the print is too even though I am pretty sure it’s from the 70s. 
And you can never go wrong with vintage Levi’s right?
Are you guys looking forward to fall? Even though summer is probably my favorite season, I am excited to start bundling up and break out my boots and coats more often! AND MAKE SOME HOT COCO! yessss.

Je M’en Fous…aka I don’t care or something along the lines of I don’t give a sh*t. This is something honestly, I want to live by more often. Being carefree is one of those traits that I’ve always wished I was but sometimes, I just get too caught up in my own thoughts. There are definitely things we should care about but certain things such as “does so and so like me?” “does my hair look dumb today?” “did I sound stupid when I said that?”….WHO CARES. I don’t want to care about that. So with that said, my motto right now is “I don’t care” about things that really don’t matter. I just want to be confident in myself and happy with who I am, that’s really what I care about!
On another note, it really feels like summer just up and left us here in Portland. So I’m just going to embrace it. I’m actually happy to be wearing jeans consistently again and when I got these it reminded me how much I love white denim…especially with white tees!

Sigh. It’s officially the end of summer. I always look back and think of how my summer really went. I think back on the memories I made, the way I spent my days, and some things I didn’t quite get to do this year. One of the main things I really want to do next summer is another memorable road trip. This time last year, I was driving with my boyfriend through California down to Nevada. I had that sense of adventure and eagerness to start and see new things. It was a great feeling that I hope to feel again. The start and end of summer always gives me that urge to get away. What about you?
Anyways, I can’t thank my friend Courteney enough for letting me take over her car…which happens to be my DREAM car. I can only imagine the feeling of driving this down the California coast…

Northwest or Southwest?

Ok, I’ll be honest. There are days that I REALLY miss this desert. I miss that middle of nowhere feeling. That ability to go travel for the day and see things I’ve never see. And obviously the cactus/cacti. I’ve been in the Northwest my entire life basically and I really do love it so much. But the desert intrigues me. Moments like this, I’m so happy to wear this shirt! It’s made from a NW brand, Bridge & Burn but still represents the Southwest too. Basically the best of both worlds right?
So what are your thoughts? Is Northwest the best or are you desert obsessed? I WANNA KNOW!

They’re SO cool and cute and stuff, but I’ve had a few that are such a pain to make stay in place. Especially if you don’t have enough on top to fill out, if you know what I mean. So I can really appreciate a dress that already has the structure but the illusion of a wrap dress like this one.
Pairing sneakers with girly pieces has been one of my favorite things to do the past couple of seasons. I love wearing dresses, but I like to edge them up a bit with a good pair of tennis shoes or beat up boots.
Portland looks like such a big city in these photos! I really love it! I’m just pretending I’m on top of a tall building in New York, just in between fashion shows. Haha NOTTT.
Thanks so much again to Tish Carlson for these badass photos. These are some of my favorites yet!!
