Hey guys! I had a planning meeting with The Art Institute of Portland for Portland Fashion Week. They are a presenting sponsor and their students have a showcase on one night at PFW! It's so cool and crazy that in fact the reason I moved to Portland was to attend AI and become a fashion designer?!? Crazy how things turn out, where I'm...
Layering can be tricky, especially when you see everyone wearing a polka dot top or denim and no idea how to pull it off. And, in truth, I really didn't either so I decided to partner with Lane Bryant to bring you some ideas on how to play with the fun shirts you're seeing like polka dots and such but still make it...
2013 Ultimate Tall Wide Calf and Extra Wide Calf Women's Boot Guide
20in calf boot Monday, November 25, 2013
My favorite time of year, well it is now that I know where to find covet worthy tall wide calf boots. I remember the years back when you couldn't find a boot over 15" calf! Having a 20" calf makes it hard, but trust me - not impossible. Here's are my favorites for 2013! Enjoy! Show me your boot finds and tag me...
When asked what items are my essential pieces in my closet, a pencil skirt is always at the top of the list. I dabble once in a while with a bright pant and mixed patterns, but in truth, my essential style is basic and revolves around a black or dark denim "bottom". The black pencil skirt will go with ANYTHING and can be...
So I feel in love with the pink pair like these then Torrid, reading my mind obviously, made a gold foil pair and well....my heart is complete.

Third day in a ROW of dressing up! Today we had a meeting with some business friends about a fun New Year's event and my company producing the fashion show part. As an event producer, it's easy to get "event"ed out, but it's been a while since I had a party time NYE and can't wait to have my favorite people around me...
I had a good day. After months of feeling utterly miserable, lack of energy, motivation, care, a total funk of depression for no good reason except the fact my body used up every ounce of serotonin and dopamine I have. There is such a long story there, but the moral is, I may seem always happy - afterall the unfortunate side effect of...
I NEVER wear brown, which is weird as my hair and makeup are always shades of brown, so why am I brown allergic?!! Well, Avenue sent some goodies for me to try and I tell ya, I think brown and I are slowing creating a relationship. I actually didn't pick anything out, it was just sent, which is probably good as I would...
Location scouting at it's best! We didn't find the new home of PFW, but we did find the mother of all red doors. How could I refuse? This is pretty much my standard uniform of dark denim, with black cami, sweet jacket and flats. I'm about comfort and being cute all in one. Plus, I tried out a contoured "no makeup" makeup look...
After months of obsessively working on producing PFW, it was SO nice to see my friends and go out to celebrate for Brit's 30 Redux :) Poor girl didn't have the best 30th, so we re did it! Megan and I consipired to surprise Brit with a full day of fun. Started off with a movie, watch 'Gravity' (she loves movies), then happy...
I totally forgot to blog this outfit. I know the photos aren't the best and my makeup wasn't on, but damn it I felt amazing this day. Could have PARTLY been because I was standing the in the space I dreamed about hosting Portland Fashion Week, but I love this outfit combo too. You know that myth about how a big girl can't...
So, two things. First, had a blast at the fundraising fashion event, Modified Style Portland. Thank you to the MSP team for the amazing front row seats and swag bags, they had the best bags ever! And second, I fit into a pair of Lucky Brand Denim. Yes, Lucky. I know right? When I met the Lucky Brand ladies at Portland Fashion Week,...
Man, I MISS my best gal Mandy taking pics - she's so freaking good! I think every girl needs a personal photog who sees all their beautiful angles/sides and even when you think you're not looking too hot - she can give you images proving you wrong. So grateful for a friend who took family time off to help at Portland Fashion Week....
