A beautiful Sunday afternoon mid- July and I'm happily living in my new Sézane 'Odalie Dress' - with a mid 60's look and 100% natural materials, this piece is meant to last. The Persian brand is committed to becoming more and more sustainable with each coming year and lowering their environmental footprint. Their pieces have [...]
It's been a little over a month since we brought home our corgi pembroke welsh puppy Turnip and what a month it's been! We were waiting for this lil' girl for over six months and we couldn't be more in love but we truly had no clue what being puppy parents actually meant. Despite all [...]

I'm ecstatic because tomorrow is the first day of Spring !! I'm always anxious for all the beauty Spring brings with it (like all the flowers n longer days) but this year it feels more intense due to it being our first living in Portland. With new seasons come new visions so I'm also looking [...]
I've never traveled somewhere warm in the Winter before so being beachside in Cancun, Mexico has been nothing short of therapeutic. Ryan and I traveled here to spend time with his family by the ocean and see the city. I've never seen so many vibrant colors, kind locals and beautiful sunrises before in my life. [...]
On Instagram I was tagged in one of those 'share ten facts about yourself' that lots of different creatives have been spreading around recently. I was reflecting on how much I've made public about who I am vs. what people project / assume through what I post. I assumed it was time to share a [...]
