Emerging Thoughts
August 26, 2013
We headed up to the rainy rooftop again to snap some photos of this great dress from IJME advertiser, Emerging Thoughts and the greatest temporary tattoos of all time. We’ve had a really mild summer thankfully in Portland, but still sunny and in the 80s. Yesterday was the first rainy day in a quite awhile and, man, I missed it. I really love the rain and it’s one of my favorite things about Portland.
I am excited for school to start next week and for more rainy days, but I am going to miss the summer. I’m not sure I’m ready to don tights with dresses yet.
Outfits details: Dress by Dear Creatures from Emerging Thoughts and shoes are thrifted.

LOVE LIST – IJME ADVERTISERS
+ I thought this list of 5 things to pay for on the internet by Amie was a great. I especially agree with a nicely designed blog or website!
+ These double exposure Diana F camera photos from Savady Photography are beautiful. Makes me want to bust out my Holga.
+ This pretty floral ampersand print from Alexa Z design is darling.
+ You can sign up for Kam’s newsletter and get a copy of her SEO for Creatives e-book. It has some great tips that I’ve utilized myself!
+ These pressed flowers from Flies in a Peach Can are gorgeous.

Evenings on the Porch
August 20, 2013
I’ve been in Idaho the last few days to spend time with my family and celebrate my sweet grandpa’s 90th birthday. I intended to prep some blog posts for this week, but didn’t get to it. I needed to focus energies on other things. Such is life. Last Sunday night I spent some time on my parent’s porch, sipping on wine, and just enjoying the evening. My parents have a and I always like to see my mom’s pretty flowers and my dad’s landscaping. Talk soon.
