"we're having a heat wave"

It's going to be in the high 70's almost 80 here in Seattle.

Now I own a lot of dresses but I am not really a dress girl. I think I am bad at styling them or I just always want to pair them with sneakers. But who gives a fuck right? Why not.

I am a guttersnipe. Who's socks never match. A fact, you must know about me darling.

.... or something of that nature

What can I tell you other than I've been very inspired lately?

It's funny how a song, or a movie, a lyric, a poem, a picture, or moment can truly kick start your creative juices. Maybe it's the rush of summer. The weather, the sun, the idea of pure freedom. Whatever it is, I need more of it.

It could be this awesome book I was recommend to read called "One Hundred Demons" by Lynda Barry. A strange graphic novel/comic/book/memoir. I can't put it in one box because it's so out of the box.

I am trying to blog more (write about my life & fashion & shit) and I am trying not sound to sound like a total lush right now but I am in such a good mood, I bet a lot of you would find it sickening or cheesy if I went into anymore details, so fuck it! On to the fashion...

PDA in PDX

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.

Shoes (Nike Outlet) $20.00 (yes... only $20, Outlet stores are key!)

Leather Leggings (American Apparel) $16.00

T-Shirt (Compound Portland x Stussy) $30.00

Army Jacket (surplus store) $5.00

Necklace (Goodwill) $7.00
