Mini-Vacation

I was lucky enough to join my boyfriend's family in Puerto Rico recently. It was a great mini vacation of sun and relaxation. Now I'm busy at work and back in the Montana cold. But we're counting down the days until Aruba in April. wahoo.

JSwoops

I'm pretty giddy for this weekend. Yes, it's still early in the week and we aren't even close to the Wednesday hump. But hello, the boy is deejaying our friend's wedding this weekend. So clearly I'm excited. I've been able to get a sneak peak and let me tell you.....people are going to be rocking out and having a blast. There is a serious art form to deejaying that I can't even begin to grasp. The boy has talent. And not to mention this will be his first public appearance in the past couple years and my first time to see him dj outside the house. wahoo. Oh, and to top the weekend off...we're stopping by my parent's new house and get to see my family. Now you see why I'm counting down the hours till the weekend.
So are you looking forward to anything this weekend?

East Coast Dreaming

We arrived back to Montana yesterday after a long day traveling back from Maine. I can't believe how fast our vacation went by. I wish we could have stayed a little longer but it was still a fabulous trip. Maine is such a fantastic place and staying with joel's family is always enjoyable. I can't wait for our net trip back there! Here a few pictures that I captured while on the east coast. Enjoy!
We went sailing for the 4th of July. The weather was pleasant right up until we docked the boat to get find some dinner.

 Joel & I out on the water. Yep, my shirt has sail boats on it.
 Right outside the back door was the lake.
 Two good looking boys.
 Lots of cute puppies.
 Matching yellow rain jackets. It started to down pour so it was lucky these were on the boat. I broke my sandals while running in the rain...I still got soaked. But the lightening was beautiful.

Snowboarding

I'm embracing this quote right now. Yes, my boyfriend and I will be moving to a state that I've never been to before. But I'm excited for that adventure. This quote works for my last happening. This past weekend, I tried snowboarding for the first time (finally). It was a beautiful spring day at Mt. Hood Meadows and I had the sexiest teacher on the slopes (yes, my lovely boyfriend). Let's just say it wasn't easy. I need a lot more practice and work. But it was a lot of fun even when my tailbone was screaming with pain. I'm really looking forward to next winter season to hone my skills. I'm still in that weary, fearful stage. I need to get out of comfort zone and just fall. Sooner or later, I'll be much better. Practice, practice, practice.

Cristina's Little One

My former college roommate, Cristina, is pregnant with her second little girl. I'm super excited for her and her growing family. She asked me to assist in the nursery decor. I have so many different ideas going around in my head right now. I've put together four, very different looks. So which nursery design is your favorite? Tell me your thoughts or helpful hints in designing for the little ones.

Which is your favorite inspiration board? Outdoors Ready, Sweet Baby Girl, Serene and Peaceful, or Fresh and Graphic?

Holiday Time

We've been busy with holiday parties for the last couple weekends. We can cross an Ugly Sweater and Christmas Cocktail party off our holiday party list. Sadly, Joel and I never took a picture together last night while looking classy. I opted for a different dress than usual this year. It was a blush, tunic style, sheer sleeve dress. I added pearls, black nylons, an outrageous ring, and black wedges to round it out. The dress was great because I ate too much food and it wasn't a tight, bondage dress that I originally thought about wearing. So how was your weekend?
 My legs blend into the oven. They are there somewhere...I swear.

How are your holiday festivities going so far?

Relax

We're hanging out with our good friends, making homemade pizza, drinking wine, watching football, and my sister is stopping by tomorrow. A great weekend if you ask me. Just an important tidbit: you should listen to the Mayer Hawthorne station on Pandora. Totally awesome!

I'm also on the hunt for faux leather leggings/pants. I NEED some.

Surprise!

I spent this past extended weekend in New York City. Yep, we disappeared from the gross Portland rain and enjoy the amazing weather in NYC! We jetted across county to surprise Joel's Dad for his birthday (Happy Birthday, Michael)! The surprise was a smashing success. We had a such a fantastic weekend! We saw three shows (Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Mamma Mia, and  Memphis), ate lots of tasty food, walked around the city, took in a museum and had an all around good time. I'm so happy I had the pleasure of joining in on the birthday festivities in NYC. It was a perfect getaway.
We manged to fly into Philadelphia and see one of dearest friends too before heading to NYC!

We stayed at the very swanky, Royalton Hotel. It was serious beautiful and I highly recommend staying there! We even scored a balcony with a view of the Chrysler Building. Also, take a minute to enjoy a drink at the bar, Forty Four, and order the Ginger Julep. Delicious. 

I'm ready to head back again.

Game Day Chic - Friday's Fancies


Yes, I went to Oregon State University and am a Beaver Believer! But I'm just so excited that my boyfriend is returning home today that I decided to support his Buffaloes. So here is my gameday chic outfit for when I'm cheering on the Colorado Buffaloes. Yes, my chic outfit is very causal when at sporting events. Hey, I don't want to spill beer all over my nice clothes.

Please note: OSU and CU are in the PAC-12 together now and when they play each other, I'll be wearing orange and black! No matter what, I'll always be looking stylist while cheering on either team.
AV at {long distance loving} made this awesome black and gold banner for me. So fabulous. I even have an orange and black one too!
