Happy Christmas!

Wicked feather ornaments from Jayson Home & Garden. Can't believe I didn't think of it myself.

When I was in junior (ginger) high, I started preparing for Christmas in August. I'd pop Cabbage Patch Kid Christmas into the tape player, make a cup of cocoa with extra marshmallows, and begin crafting a countdown chain out of red, white, and green construction paper.

Okay, I lied. I was actually in high school.

I just realized today while walking through the drug store that it's mid-November with nary a Cabbage Patch Kid in sight.

Sorry 'bout the tangent. I'm trying to avoid my homework.

Holly Stalder

Lovely vintage-inspired tops and dresses by Portlander Holly Stalder. More often than not, actual pieces of vintage trims and bits are used. The dress in the first pic is my favorite.

Do one thing a day that scares you

Love Lululemon's manifesto:
As I sit here debating whether or not I should go to yoga...

Sissy

My sister recently had a baby, and her husband took a picture of her every day for almost nine months. Watch her belly transform in 15 seconds here. You grow girl!

Necklush

I kind of want one of these. Is it a necklace or a scarf? Necklarf? Scarlace? Now we know why they setted on Necklush.

I'm looking forward to a stroll through my fair city after work today - some research for a school project. Have I mentioned how much I'm enjoying my classes this quarter? Then I'm spending the evening with my chubby little baby nephew, Jacob. The top of his head smells sooooo good!
