There is a group of girls in Portland that we run into from time to time that call themselves cupcakes. They dress in really fancy Japanese anime/tea party style and go to events in a group. We spotted them once at ChocolateFest and another time at this bakery/cafe in Sellwood that’s done up a la Candyland. These are definitely some stocking I imagine they would go gaga for!
Do you like these little bow tights?

The Portland Aquarium opened last weekend and we went to pet the stingrays and sharks. I got A’s parents a membership for Christmas and I can’t wait for them to explore it too! I used to wander in awe at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and wished I could stay for hours and stare at the jellyfish. I thought this color palette was perfect in celebration for our first visit!
Have you ever been to an aquarium?

A couple of months ago we headed to IKEA for inspiration and happened upon their yearly buffet. There were buckets of crawfish, swedish meatballs, and other delicious things. I’ve been craving crawfish, crayfish, lobster, and other yummy crustacean since! Anyone know where to get a good lobster roll?
What’s your favorite crustacean or do you not go there?

You know my love of blanket imagery. Since it’s really Fall, I’m falling in love all over again with the idea. Seeing such a picture automatically transports me to their place because being wrapped in the warmth of the blanket is so familiar and comforting.

I can’t believe it’s almost Halloween! I usually think about a costume for a month & then put together something totally unrelated last minute. I don’t know why! Well, I thought maybe if I got my act together early this year by picking specific things, I might actually follow through. I loved this adorable tiger mask the moment I saw it, so I pulled together a simple costume that would totally be work-friendly too.
What are you going to be for Halloween?

As much as I don’t want to admit the arrival of Fall (I’m big on summer and sunshine), it’s here with its crisper air and changing of the leaves. I’m so excited to fill my new home with leaf goodies and cinnamon aromas to make the place cozy even if it will be filled with unopened boxes for a while. Above are a few fun finds to celebrate the arrival of Fall!

Since A has gotten into photography, we are always chasing the light. Whether it be for golden hour or the sunset and sunrise. This photo really spoke to me with it pretty peachy hues.
When’s the last time you watch the sunset or sunrise?
The moment I set eyes on these photos for Fashion Gone Rouge, I was in love. They are so 60′s dreamy with single color focus. I can’t get enough. (Photographer: Anna Palma | Stylist: Katelyn Mooney | Beauty Artist: Willow Mayor)

I’ve swooned over light blue and orange in this Daydream and this desert and movie Color Palette posts. I couldn’t reisist sharing this aqua and warm orange combo in this adorable outfit and this fun glass bead strand necklace.
Do you like aqua and warm orange together?
Since my last trip to Austin, I’ve had a new found love of desert-scapes and cacti. It’s just simple and beautiful. The striking color contrasts in this color palette remind me of the one for Moonrise Kingdom. (“The Life of the Desert” Ann and M. Suton. 1966. Via En dilletante)
