the great wheel

Yesterday my "boston boo" (a.k.a my darling and wonderfully talented friend Caroline) was in town. So that meant not only do I get to act like a tourist in my own city which I LOVE doing I got to hang out with her as well. Her one request; go on the ferris wheel. And I've been dying to go! So it worked out.

After that we walked around Pike Place and shopped. It was quite a lovely day.

 

It's getting hot here in Seattle, however I am a bit hesitant about it staying. So I've been wearing dresses but bringing a coat (because it does get cold at night) The thing is I've been wanting to wear black, a lot lately. And it's not ideal for the sun. However, fuck it! It's fashion. My style, wear what I want, when I want.

See my mother bought this piece of art that happens to be a dress from Totokaelo and I've been so excited about wearing it.

It's such a strange piece of work! You can play with it, mold it, and it even has a hood. I don't know how to explain it and these photos don't do it justice, but DAMN! I love having a mom who knows how to shop. (And me, being her daughter who knows how to borrow a.k.a. steal it.)

So I know I was at Hedgebrook for a week but I wasn't ready to go back to the real world so what did I do, well, grabbed my dude and drove to Portland. Why? Because we both needed to get out of the city. So glad we did. It was a blast! Ate some great food, did some serious shopping, slept in, laughed, and just had fun.

 

I said I wanted to do more random rode trips and that's just what I did.

Now being a Seattle girl, I love my city but like I just proved, I need to leave it sometimes. So if you ever go to Portland you have to check out little big burger (bomb ass food) Compound for all you sneaker street wear kids, any of their amazing vintage stores, the Nike store (and of course the outlet store!) and the place I spent most of my time and money; Powell Book Store.

 

I am a guttersnipe.

I am a bookworm.

And of course today was a hard day of sleeping in and going to happy hour with my girls. I know. I know. Life is good. I need to realize that.

Happy Halloween Eve (& my birthday eve)!

Now that's out of the way, some of you might of saw this on my instagram. Well it's finished and I am sporting it today.

It was a boy's camo shirt I bought at the goodwill outlet. There was a massive hole in the shirt, so like any good guttersnipe I didn't discard it. I bought the shirt for 75 cents and found some left over fabric scraps.

 Side note: I love these shoes. They make me feel like a little witch. Which is prefect timing right now.
