Little (Insta) Update

I've been buying so many plants lately, the nursery is practically my second home!

New kicks from Messeca

Sneakers have been my go-to lately...so comfy!

Just a morning walk to grab some coffee

Taking in the scenery at Trillium Lake. Oregon is so beautiful.

Typical morning essentials.

Just a small glimpse into my life lately. I've been trying to take advantage of those days off and going on little day trips. I recently went to Mt. Hood on a hike and it was absolutely beautiful. I'm always torn between my love of the outdoors and the city, which is really why I love Portland so much...it's got both in one!

I'm ready for another busy week coming up, that's supposed to be filled with rain. I hope I can find some clear skies to let me take some photos!

Starry Eyed

I'll be honest, when I saw this dress online I thought it was floral print. So when it showed up I was a little shocked to see it covered in stars...but now I'm kind of in love. It's such a nice alternative from the usual floral print and it sort of makes me feel like a kid again. And it made me branch out and try out a new print that I don't think I normally would have picked out. Lessoned learned: Never say never until you try it! (With fashion at least...)

I've also had a slight obsession with bows lately. I love having a big, loose bow on a dress or button up...makes it a little more girly!

Days Off

With school starting back up and learning new stuff at work, things have been getting pretty busy lately. So when I do have a day off, I really try to take advantage of it and give myself time to relax and refuel. My favorite thing to do is to stay in bed extra long and listen to my favorite albums (most likely The Beatles of course!) Days off are really important and I really start wanting to treat them more as an actual day off. Even if it's a little day trip out of the city, I just want to spend them doing something I genuinely enjoy.

How do you guys relax and take advantage of a day off?
