I doubt it’s a secret, but I am in NO way a fan of the “No white after Labor Day”!!
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
I say wear ALL the white!!! And…keep stain remover in stock!!
🤣
I’ll be using it on both of our jeans from today, but…so worth it!
🙄🤷🏼‍♀️
I’m also clearly a closet “fringe” lover!! The sweater…the jacket…and…I have more!
❤️
I’ve SO missed taking pictures of us!! Maya being off school this week has been a blessing! We’ve been trading things we want…

Me- Pictures!
🤣
Her- Us playing Roblox together.
🙄
We do both…WIN!
❤️
It was SUPER windy today, and we ran out in between downpours. The wind can be a total pain (as in I was totally panicked that it would blow my tripod and camera over!!), and it can also make you look like you are in a professional wind blown shoot….Maya’s hair needs it’s own hashtag!

Windy video at the end…

THIS!!
🥰
This is why I started this blog…
❤️
(the 1st image 🤣🤣)
🙈
Me, loving fashion and wanting to document it, but also loving HER and the fact that we are together SO MUCH, yet…we have fun. And I want her to look back on the FUN had.
❤️❤️❤️
Yes, we argue…and ugh, Covid has tested us, but…there’s nobody I’d rather be stuck with for going on 8 months…
🥰
And also thankful for cute puffer coats to keep me warm! She’s an energized bunny so…it’s a wonder I even kept this coat on her!
😂
See our videos…we both shed them before we even took videos of us wearing them!! And…it was 48 degrees out!!
🤷🏼‍♀️
This is just off to the side of the spot we took pictures yesterday. It’s the only space I’ve felt is isolated enough to shoot. So…I might just shoot here for a while! Better then my backyard!


Also including a few outtakes because…there are PLENTY OF THOSE!

Transitional Dressing…Summer Dress + Jean Jacket + Blanket Scarf!

Originally taken 11/22/2020 (playing catch up!)

Words taken from Instagram on the day I posted some of these there…

If there was ever a time to embrace the blanket scarf…it’s now!
💛🤗
I scored this one at Madewell last year when I stumbled into their store during some secret close out. I got this amazing one for $3.50!!!
😳😱
Pretty sure it’s not going to be a surprise to say that I bought all of them. Yes, I felt like a complete greedy asshole, but I was thinking-

“We can pass them out to guests when they come over for dinner outside and they’re cold!!”

HA…
😩
I’m not handing out anything….to anyone.
😭
BUT…I’m still hopeful for next year!!
🥰
AND…we took pictures with the fall leaves!!! I’ve been a little cranky that we haven’t done ALL the fall pics, but…but even in front of our house is high traffic!!
😟
SO…I went to a little fall nook I’ve photographed clients in often.
💛
No foot traffic, we literally parked across the street.

Boom. Fall has been captured.
🍂🍁
I feel better.
💛
And…how is she almost to my shoulder??!!!😳


Of course I had to include some outtakes and behind the scene videos! The minute we left the house it started raining… 🙄 and, Maya just wanted to play with the scarf!! What could go wrong?!?

Well…see the video!! It’s truly a miracle we get any shots!! 🤣😩🙈

Leather Jacket + LBD + Moto Boots…On the Beach! Why not?

Pictures originally taken 10/9/2020 (playing catch up!)
Words written on Instagram on that day…
Not going to lie…I have NOT been in the mood to take pictures lately…

Distance Learning…Rental property projects…SO much more that I won’t share, because we are ALL dealing with shit right now!!

This is the first time I’ve taken pictures of us together that were NOT in our backyard or the sidewalk in front of our house in SEVEN months!

Gah…this makes me SO SAD!!

I took some pictures of Maya last weekend for her birthday during our trip to Friday Harbor. It made me realize how much we both miss it.

And to clarify….Maya states ALL THE TIME-

“I HATE pictures!!” UGH, she does NOT! BUT, she clearly loves to oppose ME…

It was easier when it was just our backyard, but she knows how much I want it, and takes a stand. It takes ALL KINDS OF BRIBES to get her to go take pictures, and yet…when we go somewhere, she’s running all over the place having fun! She comes up with ideas for shots, and totally gets into it! I LOVE that side of it, but the actual getting her out of the house to go TAKE the pictures?

UGH…

But…we ventured out today with our masks on hand. I went to one of my favorite secluded spots, and…NOBODY WAS THERE!!

AND!!! We had so much fun!! As we ALWAYS DO!! It’s just so hard to get her out of the house…

I’m so glad when I do!!Blog All Saints Leather Moto Jacket Lanston Maxi Dress Frye Veronica Slouch Short Boots On Beach-1Blog All Saints Leather Moto Jacket Lanston Maxi Dress Frye Veronica Slouch Short Boots On Beach-2

And…HER!

This was “Picture Day” for school.  It was taken in a park by the school.  You had a time slot, took your mask off for the picture.
The day before…Maya decided to give herself a neck tattoo!  I mean…why NOT before PICTURE DAY???
WTF?

I mildly freaked out a little INSIDE, but then decided I could give two shits with ALL we’ve been dealing with.  She wanted it.

The girl taking her picture complimented her on it, and it made the most genuine smile she’s ever had in her school picture!!

And that is when things shifted for me… SHE wanted that neck tattoo.  SHE loved it.  SHE felt confitdent and loved the way she looked.

I LOOOOOVE IT!!! It’s my most favorite school picture of her!!

Happy Birthday To Maya!!

Pictures originally taken 10/06/2020 (playing catch up!)
Words written on Instagram on that day…
A few days late (I posted on my personal account and stories here, but…wanted to officially do it here too 10/4 was her bday), but we decided it would be a week long celebration, so…

Happy Birthday Maya!

I’m constantly in awe of…

…your adventurous spirit!

…the way you make friends wherever you go.

…your ability to laugh and and how infectious it is!

…the way you can make up the most amazing imaginative stories.

…how you can make up a song in the span of a few minutes.

…the way you can argue your point which can simultaneously drive me crazy, impress me, make me proud, and often times sway me.

I am so unbelievably proud of who you are and feel SO lucky to be your mom.

These images are so you… You love a fancy party dress, and love getting it dirty even more…

A few images from our trip to Friday Harbor this weekend.

Love you Maya! I hope you have an amazing 9th year!

xx,
Mom

So….I’m not READY for fall!
😬
And all that it entails-remote learning, remote learning, remote learning, AND….RAIN!!!
😳😩😭🙈🍷🍷🍷
Buuuuuut, the occasional cooler days at the tail end of summer…I’m ready for them!
🤗😬🙈
And…I reach for my comfort zone if all black!!!
🖤
Maya reaches for her comfort zone if…one of her favorite dresses!
😂
She couldn’t care less about temperature!! She wears what she wants and I accessorize accordingly! Thankfully, it was warm “enough” that I just added booties.
💃
The real question is…do you gravitate to all black or all brown? Or…all cream/white/neutral?!
🖤🤎🤍💛🤷🏼‍♀️
I’m team all black! Ok, except white tee + denim. I’m team that too! 🤣
🤍👖
But I looove me a little white dress!! And I’ve bought a few lately that I’m hoping to share!
🤍🤍🤍🤍
I guess…I’m all about EVERYTHING!

Ok, basics…I’m all about basics with a twist and a sliiiight hint of a pattern here and there.

Vintage Apron Skirt + Clogs and the Cutest Apron Vintage Girls Dress!

Pictures originally taken 8/15/2020 (playing catch up!)
Words written on Instagram on that day
Do you ever see people wearing something and think-
“Omg!! I loooove that!”

Wait…I have something like that!?!!”

Well, @whatjennwore posted this amazing denim dress in her stories that I LOVED!

She mentioned that she was on the search for a skirt like her dress.

I had it!! I’d thrifted it a while ago, but just had never worn it. I didn’t feel like it was “me” BUT…I loved the idea of HER styling idea. That’s the reason I bought it. I LOVED the idea of it!!

I’m late to the #nationalthriftshopday and sadly didn’t go due to Covid, but… every day should be that day in my opinion 😂❤️

I attempted to FINALLY style it to make sure. I still love the idea of it!! I would LOVE this on someone else- JENN!!!

But me? No. Yet, I’m glad I tried it!

It’s one of the things I love about fashion. Especially thrifted fashion. It’s a way to figure out what you love. What you want to experiment with and what you find is “you”. I’m completely eclectic in my ideas of what my style is, and yet…things that I LOVE on others…still don’t work on me.

And THAT IS OK!

I only hope Jenn rocks this!! Because it’s heading her way-she commented that she’s been looking for a skirt so I gave it to her! Because the other thing I love? Finding scores that make other people happy!

❤️💃

Also…Maya in this vintage dress that she’s been wearing for 5 year!!! I posted a memory in my stories of her in it 5 years ago, and I’m like 😭😭😍❤️❤️❤️❤️ Some things I just cannot get rid of! Maybe she’ll wear this as a top in her teens??! 🤣

Pictures originally taken 8/15/2020 (playing catch up!)

Words written on Instagram on that day…

I have to admit…I’ve lost my love of photography the last few weeks.

🙈😩

I put out the announcement to my clients and friends that I wouldn’t be doing shoots this fall-my busiest months!! That decision was due to Covid and distance learning/no childcare, but it’s kind of taken the wind out of my sails…

And…I’ve taken on a lot of projects at our rental property, which is both mentally and physically exhausting.

My creative juices have been lacking…for here.

But, the fall/winter is upon us in the PNW and rain is coming. Sooooo, it made me nostalgic.

I do love me some #sunflare ✨💫

AND….this was for our 11th Anniversary!! Not that we went anywhere, but..

LOOOOOVE these next ones!!!!

I posted these separately on Instagram a few days later….this is what I wrote-

Also…ankle tie sandals?! We are both a fan!!

Maya in one of her favorite dresses…I kid you not she has a CLOSET full of dresses (thanks to my thrifting pre-pandemic!), but she picks this dress more often than not. It was in her school picture this last year. Thankfully, I found it in a size larger too! Any thrifters LOVE when they find their fav item in a larger size?? #thriftscore

Ok…maybe for our kids. I wouldn’t relish so much for me! #thriftfinds
