One of my dear Australian friends in Portland was throwing a big bash in Melbourne to celebrate her milestone birthday, so naturally, seven of us bopped down because we couldn't bear to miss out on the fun. 

When we arrived on the island, the weather was still surprisingly warm and humid but by the time we made it to the east coast, the weather had turned into a classic, cool and moody fall.

Sunny days, big waves and pungent cabbage fields on the Central Oregon Coast

A nostalgic trip + tour of must-sees in the Bay Area.

There was a day last week, when the sky parted and BLUE and GREEN permeated everything in sight. I took advantage of a day off, and took myself to couple of my favorite places.

We love a quick trip to Seattle to take in the sights! There's great consignment shopping and it's always a pleasure to see what's new at some of our favorite boutiques.
