Sundress & Palm Trees

Dress-Target

Sandals-Payless

Upon spotting this dress while shopping for a few things before our recent trip to SoCal, I instantly new I needed it for a few reasons:

1. It is bright orange, floral print with a cute zipper detail and my wardrobe is lacking in the super colorful department.

2. It is short, summery and has spaghetti straps.

   But the main reason...

3. I could never get away with wearing anything like this in May in Seattle.

I loved how easy and breezy I felt style wise while in Cali, and could totally get used to it.

Oh and about those sandals.....

I bought those babies over 3 years ago and this was the first time I had worn them.

Cute with dress, but a horrible life choice overall.

They were definitely not made for walking the bazillion miles around Disneyland.

By the end of the day I would have given my future first born child for a pair of orthopedic moonshoes or a Hoveround wheelchair. 

I also felt horrible for making fun of all the ladies I saw in the morning that were wearing Nike's and finally understood their shoe picking ways.

Hope you all are having a great weekend :)

Leavenworth Anniversary Weekend :)

Over the weekend we celebrated our anniversary by staying in a cute little Inn, in the Bavarian inspired village of Leavenworth. We ate wayyyy to much delicious german fare and had a great time going in and out of all the fun and quirky shops filled with all sorts of tchotchkes. It was so nice to get away for the weekend, just us two :)

Our cozy little suite that had a Jacuzzi and fireplace <3

Literally the first time my legs had seen the light of day since last September haha

Teeeheeee :D

Pretzel tree!

Yodelers! 

Love my best friend..

Along the pretty Waterfront Park trail

Bratwurst....YUM.

Ohhh and in addition to all the little fun trinket filled shops, there were a few AMAZING boutiques that had soooo many great things! I found the perfect Maxi dress that I had been on the hunt for, so hopefully I will be putting up a post featuring that soon!

Cannon Beach!!

This past weekend my mom and I spent a much awaited mini-vacation together down in the Oregon Coast town of Cannon Beach. We stayed in an amazing suite that was once apart of an ocean front house, but was recently converted into an Inn with 3 suites. It was so cute and charming! Also, it was such a great feeling to hear the ocean as I feel asleep.

Our weekend was filled with shopping at all the adorable local boutiques, eating yummy food and lots of laughs. I am so lucky to have such a great mom that I enjoy hanging out with :)

This suite was so comfy I wish I could live in it on a daily basis...

Pretty flower in front of the fireplace

Couldn't resist...full length mirror pic haha

Gotcha'!

The rain/fog coming in...

The next morning we awoke to this amazing breakfast delivered to our door.

Natural sausage,sun dried tomato,cheese and egg strata + coconut,lime and mango coffee cake + delish fruits + freshly squeezed ruby red grape fruit juice + french press = BEST. BREAKFAST. EVER.

Me at a random silly hat shop. LOL :p
