Frolicking in Florence

     Hey guys! I am officially back home in New Jersey reminiscing about my trip in Oregon. One of my favorite places to go while I am visiting the Pacific North West is Florence, Oregon (not that I wander all over the PNW or anything). It is such a sweet little town that feels very homey. When Trevor and I visit, we spend most of our time on Bay Street which is this street (obviously) that has all these cute little shops and restaurants on it! When the sun is shining, everybody is on Bay Street!

     We went over to the coast twice this past visit, and the second visit was the best weather I experienced out of all my time in Oregon! Between the sun, the subtle chill to the air, and all the people walking around... I just loved the day. Of course we made a photo opportunity out of it, so that is what I am here to share! Also, if you ever get the chance to visit this spot... do yourself a favor and eat at Bridgewater (also known as the Zebra Bar). The place has some serious curb appeal and the interior decor is a little quirky... which is not the point of eating there, but I thought I would throw in some extra detail. The food is freaking amazing. So simple, yet so delicious.  N o t h i n g  compares.

Laceless Shoes with Laced Up Sweats

     Hey, hey! Obviously ya'll can see I am in the same exact denim jacket and the same ASOS brand white slip-ons as in earlier posts, but that is the point of clothing, right? Wear it... and wear it again! It was a bit chilly out today so I decided to create an outfit around these sweatpants because they are thick and the inside is a soft fleece material... so comfy! I also love that they are high-waisted and have a cute little lace up detail on the front, it adds a little something extra to an otherwise basic pair of sweats.

     I kept everything pretty neutral because I do not have much to match the green pants. The black long-sleeve is a thin material so I layered on a denim jacket (which also helps the outfit look more put together), and threw on some sneakers since I was running around town! I personally feel like this is such an easy outfit to put on and get out the door. It is comfortable and I feel comfortable in it... and that is style rule number one, my friends!

Photography & Portraits in Portland

    As you all know, I spent three and half weeks in Oregon. As you are reading this, I am actually boarding my flight back home to New Jersey, which is bittersweet because I really hate leaving my boyfriend, but I do miss my little rotten puppy dog! I did not pack too, too many things in my suitcase this trip... so yes, you are seeing the same pair of jeans occasionally (because they are the only ones I brought)! The outfit I am posting today is the outfit I wore for my second day in Portland. We decided to head downtown and browse some shops in the area. Most of the photos were taken inside Anthropologie since their decor is just too good not to photograph. Do you see that cotton-candy wall?!

     The bodysuit is a little risqué so I taped it down with fashion tape. I did not want any wardrobe malfunctions on the busy streets, so they were super handy! They are by a brand called Hollywood (I believe), and I picked them up at Walmart (cosmetics section)! In addition to that, I also used adhesive petals from EBay to prevent any poking... if you know what I mean! Anyway... this outfit is super simple, but that is my favorite style-- simple, and the easiest way to achieve that in the summer heat is by wearing a bodysuit, denim, and some sort of slip-on shoe... as you can see by this and my last casual outfit post!

What I Wore | The Wedding Edition

     On Saturday, August 26, 2017 I was able to attend an Oregonian wedding for a beautiful couple-- Catherine & Allison. Catherine (Katie) is Trevor's niece who I have come to know and love over the past three years. She is such a kind-hearted, comical individual and I could not be any happier for her and her wife! The wedding was held at Dancing Deer Mountain, a jaw-dropping venue to begin with, that was really decked out for the special occasion! Though this post is mainly to focus on my chosen wedding attire, I really wanted to share some photos I captured from the wedding. It was such a beautiful ceremony, and I am extremely thankful to have been invited! So, thank you again Katie & Ally for allowing me to apart of your special day!

     Beautiful, right? I know... I know. I was in awe the entire time. It was a hot day (94 degrees) but luckily the venue provides a lot of shade, so I was extremely comfortable in the outfit I wore. Before you scroll on down... you should know my entire outfit was under $40-- head to toe! Now that is what I call a style steal!

Jumpsuit: Forever21 (I paid $11)
Sandals: ASOS ($16)
Rose Choker & Y-Drop Chain: Forever21 (under $6)
Pink Opal Necklace: South Moon Under ($7)
Nails: Primrose and Proper by Morgan Taylor

Paired with Plants

     On August 16, 2017 I flew out to Oregon with my boyfriend. I visit Oregon quite often since my boyfriend lives here, which is a whole other story (we met on MySpace way back in the day), and if you are interested in knowing more about that... I plan to post a video focusing on it in the future! Anyway, Oregon is a beautiful state with beautiful big trees, kind people, and great pride in their local businesses. Trevor and I always find ourselves wandering shops and stopping to take in the sights all over the state. We popped into a small business in downtown Eugene and snapped some photos of what I was wearing! It was a casual day and with the warm heat in Oregon, it was a perfect option!
