Happy Wednesday! Recently when I went out to get ice cream with Jared, he took a few photos of me so I could show off my favorite backpack more. I wear this backpack everywhere and it has already been on multiple trips too! Just in the past few months, I took it to Vegas, Hawaii, LA, and Canada. Now I just need to get a commuter bag so I can keep repping PacSafe daily, haha. Just a disclaimer: I received this backpack from the PacSafe team when they had a Seattle event last year but this post isn't sponsored at all. If you follow me on Instagram then you know I talk about this bag regularly and just love it a lot! OUTFIT DETAILS: TURTLENECK (similar) / JACKET / JEANS (on sale for $23 with code and they have an elastic waist band !!) / SHOES (More sizes here - get 7.5% cashback using Ebates) / BACKPACK I'm always taking photos when I travel and even during an outing around Seattle, you'll probably see me carrying either a camera or my phone. Having my hands free with a backpack is the best for this reason! I also find that it's much more comfortable than a purse, especially when I'm carrying something heavy like my DSLR camera. I used to complain about the weight of my … [Read more...]

Happy Valentine's day! I know some of you are probably not big fans of this holiday and to be honest, neither am I. Going out on Valentine's day is also a nightmare in my opinion, haha. Last year was the first year that Jared and I lived together so we decided to stay in and take advantage of the fact we weren't doing long distance after so many years. It was such a fun night despite our failed attempt to make homemade sushi :) I have no idea what we're doing tonight but I do know that Jared is surprising me with something after work! We both have busy work weeks and I actually have a 7AM call the next day so I know we're not going to be doing anything crazy. Relaxing at home with my best friend sounds pretty much perfect anyway! I've never been one to wear something bright red or pink for any occasion, so you won't find me wearing anything like that on Valentine's day either. I do like a small hint of blush pink so these suede shoes and a soft blush pink sweater are about as festive as I'll get. If you're like me and not a fan of wearing bright colors, shoot for colorful shoes at least. It can make any outfit more interesting! Shop similar outfit details … [Read more...]

The saying goes new year new me but the only thing that's new (so far) are some new items in my closet! Moving to a new apartment pushed me to donate and sell quite a bit however I'm still going through the downsizing process. (Turns out hoarding tendencies are hard to shake.) It's rare that I buy a lot of new clothes at once, if at all, so when I do, I usually wear them one piece at a time. Unexpectedly, I wore all new pieces from head to toe this day! Whoops.  Outfit details: Sweater - Nordstrom (40% off right now!!) / Jeggings - c/o J.Jill / Purse - Rebecca Minkoff / Mules - DSW (exact here & similar at Nordstrom) This Leith sweater from Nordstrom is SO soft. I wish that it was a blanket honestly! It stood out to me because it has a subtle bell sleeve without being too impractical. The v-neck detail is also really flattering without being revealing. Also, it's 40% off. Y A Y! I also have to give a shout out to these new jeggings from J.Jill. Finding pants that are comfortable and fit right is quite a feat. When I first tried on these jeggings I was instantly impressed by how comfortable they felt. Then I saw myself in the mirror and realized they also fit like a … [Read more...]
