Hello!  Tomorrow is Halloween, and I am so excited!  What are you dressing up as for Halloween?  I think I am going to be a ballerina again this year (I am a ballerina almost every year because wearing the tutu makes me so happy!).

Here are a few things I am crushing on today.  Have any of you heard of the Kinfolk magazine before?  It’s fabulous!  It is a collaboration made by many talented designers and creative folk who have a shared interest in beautiful small gatherings and tasty food.  Check it out!  Also, I just love this pretty blouse by Madewell.

Happy Monday dear friends!  How was your weekend?  Jonathan had the weekend off so we decided to celebrate fall in Corvallis.  It was fabulous!  Lots of pumpkin spice lattes and colorful leaves.

Today I decided to do another clothing color palette.  I am loving all the fall fashion in my favorite stores.  This outfit is from Anthropologie and I like the colors they put together.  And you gotta love the mixing of stripes and polka dots!  I also decided to do a little re-design for this column.  I hope you like it!

Hi friends!  Today is my first day of school!  Crazy!   I decided to do a back-to-school color palette for you today in honor of my first day.  I just love this outfit and I think it is perfect for school.  And fall!  I like the contrast between the deep red and muted yellow/cream colors.  I also think the light pink lipstick is a perfect touch!

Jonathan and I took off to the Oregon Coast yesterday morning and had a fabulous time!  We ordered coffee t0-go and then drove 53 miles to Newport, OR where we went into town for some yummy breakfast.  After breakfast we spent some time walking and talking along the beach and then headed off to the Aquarium.  I saw the cutest Sea Otter ever!  We also got to explore the tallest lighthouse in Oregon and then finished the day with some tasty seafood on the bay.

I thought I would do a quick post on Oregon Coast attire.  This may sound silly but I never know what to where to the beach in Oregon.  The weather is always pretty cold and overcast but you never know.  And if it is just a day trip, you need an outfit for both a sandy beach and walking in town.

Below was the outfit I chose and it seemed to be pretty versatile.  It wasn’t the cutest outfit of all time but it was definitely comfortable and fun.

Have you noticed the crown braid style?  I feel like I see it everywhere!  And I like it!  But I thought I would post a few pictures of this hairstyle and see what you think about it.  I finally figured out how to do this hairstyle the other day and it turns out it is really easy.  I think it is a fun look if you want to spice up your hair.  It is also a nice way to get your hair up and out of your way and still look cute (if you like the style).  I think it would be perfect for a swimming party.  What do you think?
