As of recently someone brought to my attention that the only color pallet I seem to go by theses days consist of three colors: gray, cream, and black. I all knowingly blame it on the reoccurring gloom that Portland is all to well known for. So with this being said, I am trying very hard to add a little splash of color in each outfit. Hoping to break the dreary yet oh so boring color pallet that I have inevitably come accustomed to. Wish me luck!

I came across the young photographer Nirrimi and immediately fell in love. The way she delicately captures a moment in time, the grace of a woman, and the color in each image.. these elements alone make her work so inspiring. You can also check out her blog we live young.

i was feeling mighty crafty this morning when i woke up soooo.. i decided to create my very own piece of jewelry to dangle around my neck. i am attracted to jewelry that are on the BOLD & PLAYFUL scale. i scavenged up all my broken treasures and created a necklace that expressed my mood and personality.

it has been a breath of fresh air (literally) to stand underneath a blue filled sky for more than just an hour. but don't let the clear skies fool you for the second you step foot outside it feels like a giant life size freezer. burrrrrr. it will probably take me a few winters to get acquainted with what a real winter feels like. but i am up for the challenge.
