"I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away."

My giveaway ends at the end of the week, don't forget to enter for a chance to win a bird necklace I made!

And speaking of birds, I absolutely love this duck in downtown Portland! It is pretty much one of my favorite things about Portland (aside from the shopping, of course!) :o)

Gap top. Free People skirt. People's Liberation jacket. Nordstrom ring.
Marc Jacobs necklace. Jeffrey Campbell Mary Jane Platform Pumps.

My boyfriend called these the many faces of me... :o)






I had a nice conversation with Aprilia of Aprilia Love earlier this month about the comfortableness of Jeffrey Campbells. She calls her Litas "heaven for [her] feet", but I have yet to find a pair of comfortable Jeffrey Campbells. The JC Mary Jane Platform Pumps are two hour shoes--max. And though my Whip 2 Booties (worn earlier this year) are more comfortable than these, they are really only relatively tolerable.



Is it just me? Do I have bad luck with Jeffrey Campbells? Are they shoes that are so beautiful, you are willing to suffer through?

I'm heading to bed now, anyone staying up/waking up early to watch the royal wedding? I will just Google pictures of her wedding dress later; I already heard it's Alexander Wang. :o)

All I want is...a little bird in my life.

I've always really liked birds. My mom used to take me to Nordstrom Rack when I was little, and I loved going because there was a bakery right next to it. Birds would gathered outside trying to pick up any remnants people might have dropped on their way out. I would always run and chase the birds, hoping to catch one as a pet. I always failed, of course. :o(

Whether it is real birds, fake birds, birds on clothes, birds on decor--I just really like them. I them fun, charming, and whimsical. :o)


Obsession of the Moment: Birds, birds, birds!



1. Marc Jacobs "Miss Marc Bird Pendant Necklace," $57; I love Miss Marc and seeing the birds hold her by her hair always makes me laugh.
2. Leifsdottir "Aviary skirt," $100; I love everything about this skirt--the style, the color, and of course, the lovely bird pattern!
3. Alexander McQueen "Bird Design Oversized Round Sunglasses," $360; personally, I love oversized round sunglasses, and the bird design on the sides make me love these sunglasses even more!
4. Free People "Boxy Bird Tank," $88; obviously, I love the birds, but I also really like the design of it--like the lace detailing--and how the blue is watercolor-esque.
5. Cara "Critters Hummingbird Crystal Stretch Ring," $42; the. cutest. ring. ever. This is a ring I'd probably be willing to pay regular price for. lol.
6. Juicy Couture "Wanderlust Small Wish Bird Pendant Necklace," $48; the little bird is too cute, and I love how dainty this necklace is!
7. Marc Jacobs "Miss Marc Double Wrap Necklace," $78; hello, cute little birds circling my neck!
8. Urban Outfitters "Love Bird Bank," $5; for 5 bucks, you could be the owner of the cutest money bank ever--piggy banks are so old fashioned!
9. Felix Rey "Love Birds Mesh Clutch," $150; saw this clutch earlier this year and had it bookmarked because I thought it would have been great for Valentine's Day. How cute are those birds!

Let's be friends! :o)

"All we need in this world is some love."

Banana Republic top. Free People skirt. Calvin Klein heels.
Juicy Couture necklace. House of Harlow ring. Linea Pelle bracelet. Coach handbag.

I get attached to things.  So when I find a great pair of heels that I can live in all day, you can be certain I'll get attached.  Thus, it is why you see these heels here, here, here, and of course, in today's blog.  I have a hard time find amazing heels that are as comfortable as they are lovely--and I feel like I'm not alone.  However, when you see me wearing a pair of heels so often, at least you know that they aren't included in the group of shoes that are destined to stay confined to my closet.

"You say goodbye and I say hello."

Free People dress. C & C California cardigan. Forever 21 ring.
Tiffany earrings. Nordstrom necklace & belt. Zigi Soho boots.



Yes, you've all seen these boots before; you saw them here, here, and here, but I feel like this won't be the last post you see with my Zigi Soho boots.  Truth is, I am madly in love with them.  Every girl should own a pair of boots as versatile as they are!  I can wear them casually with jeans or dress them up with skirts and dresses.  Most of the time though, I find myself usually pairing them up with some girly skirt or dress; it gives my outfit a nice edge and balances things out.

I have also been finding myself wearing my cross connector ring from Forever 21 pretty often. I first saw the ring on That's Chic, was really sad to see that it was sold out online, but then became miraculously fortunate enough to find it in a Forever 21 store (after scouring multiple stores)!  Forever 21 rings are absolutely great--not only are the designs unique and fun, but the prices are always such a bargain!  Forever 21 is also the only place I've noticed with a good selection of connector rings.  All the connector rings I've gotten, such as the ones seen here or here are from Forever 21.  Definitely check out their selection when you get the chance!

"I'll leave when the wind blows."

I attempted to get shots of Mount Hood and the sunrise while driving.  They didn't turn out too badly.  Aside from the windiness, it was a pretty nice night out.

I sported my new Zigi Soho boots that day which I fell in love with soon after.  They are fun, versatile, and comfortable!  Plus, they were also an amazing steal!  How much better can shoes get?!  Shoes like these are pretty hard to come by!







William Rast blazer.  C & C California top. Free People skirt.
No name silver hoops. Forever 21 ring. Zigi Soho boots.

"You're yesterday's child to me."

ABS jacket.  C & C California top. Free People dress. Steven Madden booties.
Givenchy earrings. Forever 21 ring. Marc by Marc Jacobs tote.

Yet another shopping day for me!  I am in love with this Free People dress!  It reminds me of the Roaring 20's, almost like a flapper dress; it's a really fun dress.  I paired it with my long sleeved black C & C California top (which I pair with almost anything I can get away with) for the still cold weather.  It's a dress that will definitely "show off your curvaceous curves" as they say in the description.  I bought a size larger than I normally wear so it's not too clingy.  Plus, with the adjustable straps, it's really not too bad.

With all the blossoming flowers, spring is definitely coming!  Then I'll won't have to use my C & C California top for so much layering!
