Portland, I love you.

I'm baaaack! Feels good to be home, but BOY did I love the great state of Oregon!

Here's a sneek peak of our fabulous trip, and I will post more pictures to come!

Sooo many gorgeous flowers, I wanted to bring them all home with me!

I'm running around trying to get caught up on work and life this week, but I have a few goodies for you this week and next, so stay tuned. :)

My Sweet Girl

I thought I'd share some of these fun pictures that G took of Sadie and I a few weekends ago. No real reason except that they make me happy. :)

(And yes, I'm wearing the same outfit that I had on in the shoe post from last week... these were taken on the same day.)

Just walking around the neighborhood and enjoying life together... Miss you, Little One! I'll be home soon!

To The Nines Fashion

If you haven't been by The Concrete Catwalk recently, you might have missed the new and shiny sponsor button in the sidebar!

To The Nines Fashion was started by local Kansas City gal, Kim Hinkle, and her line of "everyday tanks" are perfection. They are super-soft, come in lots of fun colors, and are pre-shrunk so that they won't change shape after you wash them (bonus)!

I'm happy to welcome To The Nines Fashion as a sponsor of TCC, and I wanted to make sure that I shared the link with my Lucky Stone readers, as well! MWAH!

Oxfords

I love new shoes. Did you know that? Of course you did.

Today, it is especially fitting that I post these new shoes that I ordered on Etsy, because they came all the way from Portland! And do you know what I'm doing this afternoon? Taking those shoes (and many others) and flying all the way to Portland to go to a wedding and visit one of my best friends in the whole wide world!

They came in AMAZING condition from Time Bomb Vintage, who also happens to have a storefront and I am planning on going to visit this weekend! YAY!

I took the laces out, too. You likey?

I'm so excited to explore the city and to see lots and lots of friends! If you have any recommendations for places we should go or things we should do, feel free to chime in! We're staying at a really cool hotel on Burnside and I'm sure I'll be posting about it when we get back!

MWAH! Off we go!

Changing Leaves

I know that yesterday was the first day of Fall, but I was still surprised to see these pretty yellow leaves on our sidewalk last weekend. My fave color combo... YES!!

Also making it feel like fall - a spicy chai latte and turning the heat on in the car this morning... it really is my favorite season, but when I thought of scraping ice off of our windshield in just a few months, it made me wish it could be summer just a little bit longer.
