F is for Favorite Fruits

I think this is the last time I will enjoy these satsumas...they seem to get harder and harder to find at the grocery store.  Someone told me the ones with leaves on them are good luck.  Not sure if thats true, but I always look for them :)

Happy Monday!

F is for Fashion Show

This past week I was lucky enough to assist in my very first fashion show!  The Nordstrom Designer Preview happened here in Portland, OR on March 1.  I was so excited to be near all the designer samples and couldn't resist taking pictures!  The quality is not as ideal because I was using my iPhone, however you  can get an idea of what was happening backstage!

My favorite Spring 2012 RTW looks were from Marni, Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, and Chanel.  

F is for Flea Markets

Yikes...I have been absent for a bit but at least I have some good stories and photographs :)  I have decided this year I would like to travel more.  Most recently I went to Detroit, Michigan to visit a good friend (awesome blog here) of mine.  I was not so secretly hoping for a blizzard and piles of snow however it was only snowing a bit on the first day in.  I suppose it was a good thing it wasn't a winter wonderland because it made for good exploring.

We went to the flea market this past weekend and I admit I hadn't been to one of these things in a long time.  Aside from some of the oddities (like creepy doll parts...) I was most excited about all the jewelry.  One particular table had hundreds of unique pieces and case after case of trinkets.

Have you shopped at flea markets before?  Any tips or tricks for finding good things?    

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 :)
