S is for Sunsets
I shot this photo on one of my last days in Arizona. Maybe its the combination of heat, cactus, and palm trees but those desert sunsets can be quite breathtaking. I traded palm trees for pine trees but couldn't be happier :)

P is for Prada
I have always been a handbag and jewelry obsessed kinda gal but recently I've entered the realm of shoe love. I would save all my money and splurge on a bag but never on shoes. However times have changed and recently I find myself getting really lost in the shoe department! I am excited by all the textures and colors but always end up buying black. When investing in designer goods I feel it is best to go classic but if there is a trendy piece you see being a "classic" in your wardrobe then go for it!
These Prada Patent Leather Platform Pumps (here) were a recent splurge of mine. I was looking for a basic yet beautiful shoe and these were the winners. The Prada Puffer Bow flat (here) is a favorite flat of mine. I had first seem them on Tiffany's blog here and had to have them :) They are equal parts functional, easy to wear and trendy!

B is for Bay
Being back in the Pacific Northwest means being close to water again. I took these photos a while back while visiting Bellingham, WA. It was a beautiful day out and the beach was full of interesting things like crab claws, beach glass, and shells. I enjoy exploring and am so excited to see many new places here in Portland. With the crazy busy holiday season I don't have as much spare time as I'd like. But on my days off I do try to get out and about!

F is for Flowers
I have no idea what kind of flowers or plants these are. I was drawn in by the bright color and interesting texture. I took this picture on my long road trip to Oregon a couple months ago outside a Thai restaurant (here) in Reedsport, OR on the coast. I love taking pictures of flowers and plants and you will probably see a lot of posts in the near future :)

T is for Thankful
Happy Thanksgiving!
I have made some big decisions these past couple months (including a big move from AZ to OR!) but what I am most thankful for is my family and friends who have been so supportive! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day with their loved ones and enjoying lots of good food!

C is for Candles

Does anyone remember the candle store Illuminations? I was devastated when they closed their stores and wished I had done more hoarding shopping before they were gone forever...

J is for Jewelry
Jewelry is one of my favorite ways to accessorize. I totally believe jewelry can be the outfit! I am most often seen wearing a watch, earrings, bracelets, and a necklace. The chunkier and funkier the better. Large pieces, bright colors, and natural shapes are what I'm most drawn to.
I recently picked up this fun glass shadow box at West Elm and have been putting my favorite/go to pieces in it. The boxes come in many shapes and sizes (can also be monogramed!) to choose from. I have been trying to figure out a way to store and display my necklaces (currently they are alltangled in a drawer)...

O is for the Ocean
When I recently moved from Phoenix, AZ to Portland, OR I was determined to see the ocean on the road trip. After two and half days of long driving (I truly know how big California is now!) I had arrived to the Oregon coast! The weather was extremely foggy but it was still beautiful and vast.
I am so happy to be living near the Pacific Ocean and can't wait to get back out there soon. It is one of my favorite places to be!

-Dessert is my favorite meal
-Rainy days are a favorite of mine
