Beauty Bar PDX

I'm so excited that Beauty Bar has opened in Portland! I can't wait to check it out!

Photobooth Love + Ace Hotel

Today I went with Jesse to Portland for just a short morning trip. He is working on a new film project and needed to scope out the location and whatnot. He thought he would be there a couple hours, but plans changed a little when we arrived and we were really only there for a few minutes. Anyway, it was still about 8:30 in the morning and I wasn't ready just yet to drive home so we decided to head over to Ace Hotel. Jesse and I love photobooths and since they have one in their lobby we had to stop by.

We took the first set of pictures and all of the sudden the camera started again and we ended up taking a second set of pictures! And, even better we didn't get charged twice. Love Portland. Love Photobooths.

Weekend Getaway

I told you last week that I was going to the coast over the weekend and I did indeed do just that. It was a gorgeous day in Seaside and I completely fell in love with the little beach town. I really don't think I've ever been there before. Who knew Oregon had a beach town with a boardwalk, and actual beach?! Needless to say, I'll definitely be returning sometime soon. Here are some pics from the trip:

That's my sister, Jenae, her husband Justin, baby nephew Jack is hiding under the blanket and their dog Henry. Love them!

Portland, Here I Come

From the moment I decided that I was leaving San Francisco and moving back to Oregon, all I could think about was Portland. That is, aside from finding a great job, an amazing apartment and being close to my boyfriend and family again. But, most of those things did include Portland. I have not found a job up there just yet, but I can just feel that I am getting closer and closer.

All this has me daydreaming about how I will decorate, where I will eat and who will be my neighbors. My goodness, I just can't wait! Here are some pictures that show just how wonderful Portland is and why I can't wait for it to be my city.
(images found here, here, here and the last two are from me!)

Catbird NYC

Catbird is a fabulous boutique in NYC that carries jewelry, clothing and gifts. They specialize in local designers, but do carry items from designers all over. I really love the jewelry, especially the rings.
This white sapphire ring is perfect. Not only because it's my birthstone, but I love that it's small and delicate.
This Digby and Iona tree trunk ring reminds me of being young and in love. You can even customize the engraving!

I love personalized accessories and these alphabet rings are no exception. The whole alphabet is available, as well as phrases like "i heart u" and "xo".
