Some Good Physical Comedy

Some things will always make me laugh. Physical comedy is one of them. A little something from one of the masters.

An Inspired Red Dress Or Two

Red Dress

While watching As Good As It Gets I couldn't take my eyes off Helen Hunt's red, polka dot dress. The sheer red, small print and white slip; such a great combination of conservative & sexy beneath it all.

Here's a few more of some great Red Dresses I came across & adore.

And finally...

Sigh...

Have a favorite red dress? Leave a recommendation!

Roses & Frosting

My little sister, Tiffany Rose, turned 5 this week. Unfortunately she suffered an earache on her big day but isn't that just the case when you're little and your birthday means that much??

Nate & I kept it simple this year with some sparkling apple cider, gum, chapstick and an annoying card. 5 year olds are pretty easy to please when you bring their favorite things. ;)

Illustration Inspiration.

I haven't drawn anything in forever and recently I was reminded by someone who used to know me when it was all I did. So I started drawing wedding dresses. I'd love to somehow wear my own design. Drawing them is the easy part, deciding later will be the hard part. 

PSU Farmers Market

N. and I love farmers markets. Over the summer he worked at the one in Moscow, ID and I think the socializing and community really turned him on to market culture. I know it fueled my enthusiasm.

We finally made it to the PSU Farmers Market and it was a spectacular though lightly rainy morning.

Such gorgeous local food!

I didn't even know what to start with!

Purple Daze Carrots. Soooooo gorgeous. I have such a weakness for pretty food.

N. bought some really great steaks from a man that has a farm that includes buffalo, rabbit, goose, and pretty soon, venison. I'd really like to try it I've heard great things. I grabbed a few of the purple carrots, brussel sprouts, heirloom cherry tomatoes (we never leave Trader Jo's or the market without them) as well as some sweet and spicy pickled red onions, and roasted red peppers we took home hot from the fire.

What's the best luck you've had this year at the markets?

More later on the purple stew that I made with all this loot. 

Detour

I jumped the wrong train this morning. Simply not enough attention paid. But luckily because I prefer to be in the city quite early before work it didn't bother me much.

The trains transfer at Pioneer Square and it could not have been a better day for a detour. Portland's been blessed with some incredible weather this Fall and I hadn't been to the Square in ages.

Tights.

Love lacy tights with Forever21 Bordeaux wedges. Needed a little texture this morning and these my sister bought me for my birthday are perfect! A fun change for work.
