Photo du Jour

Her favorite color is stripes. By "her" I think I mean me.

Walk With Me - On a Pretty Fall Day

Me, walking to lunch today.  Artsy, huh? 

Thanks for the stroll.  Don't you love crunchy leaves?  Have a fab weekend yo.

Odd Designer-Branded Products

I really enjoyed this list and Gallery on Gloss of the 12 Oddest Designer-Branded Products.

The only thing odd to me about this list was how badly I want it all...especially these items:

Prada Tea Bags

 LV Garbage Bags (what?  we go through a lot of diapers...)

 Marc Jacobs tape measure

 Gucci 3-D Glasses

Chanel Fishing Set (Bonnie Estep - you need this)

Photo du Jour

I took this photo so that when the babes are no longer babes I will never forget what our floor looks like covered in cheerios. It looks like this everyday.

Make Yourself

I am not sure if this new Nike campaign has hit big beyond Portland yet, but it is plastered all over Nike World Headquarters and I must say I think it is totally brilliant.  I feel inspired when I see it.  I think "Make Yourself" is the next "Just Do It". I think I love that it targets Women too.  Of course I also love that our favorite gold medal girl is in the following "Make Yourself" video:

So...Make Yourself...

Big props to the smart people that come up with this stuff.  My friend EL had a part in it all...which I didn't know until after I fell in love with the campaign.  Go EL.

My Kind of Camper

Similar to Lodekka...Wanderlust is a shop on wheels.  This rolling store is Portland's first traveling retail cart.  Looks kinda funky and interesting, huh?

I borrowed this photo from their site, and it makes me feel like I may have to find this trailer shop so that O and I have exactly the right outfits the next time we bring our record player to the park...

They are having a grand opening fete on November 20th.  Looks like it will be sweet and sassy. 

Lodekka

I'm pretty sure I need to make some time to go to this double decker bus/ dress shop.  Because who would not want to buy a dress from a double decker bus?  And more importantly, why would you not want to support some chic that made this vision a reality.  Cool article on all of it here.  Lodekka's facebook page is here.  

I think I could rock either one of these numbers...



Birthday Birdie

Happy Birthday to my gorgeous mama.  I wish we could be with you to sing and eat cake!  Love you lots and lots.  Thanks for taking such good care of us, even from afar.  

I think this may be one of my favorite photos of birdie - how awesome does she look?!  And it was such a happy event...

We are sending kisses to Akron today!

Two La La

This funky chicken, who also happens to be my godgirl, has a birthday today!!!  She will be celebrating in style, because her Manhattan mama does everything in style.  Little Rbud, I cannot wait to kiss on you in February.  Happy Birthday Gorgeous!!!! 

I can't believe one year has passed since this post...and two since this one!  Time flies when your best buddy has babies on the other side of the country....

Yikes

Somehow I missed this clip when it did its viral 2 million views thing a few years ago.  But thankfully my tuned in friend sent me the link for a good laugh today.  Wow.  If you ever think you had a bad day at work...put yourself in this anchor woman's shoes.  The anchor dude wants to get to commercial ASAP.  This is hilarious. 

Funny Confession #65

I totally love this photo and have looked at it 1000 times today.  I'm self centered like that...

Happy Halloween!

 I hope you got lots of treats and not too many tricks!  We had a picture perfect halloween!   

 My sweet octopus!

 Our buddy came over, as RunDMC yo.

Turns out RunDMC is a leg man...

WKF got some good loot, despite his refusal to wear much of a costume.  I had 8 little legs for him...but he wanted no part of his spider outfit.  Oh well.
