Don’t you love a clean closet and cash in your hand?  A trip to Buffalo Exchange was a total win… one vintage jacket and a check for $158. 
At what age is it inappropriate to shop at Forever 21? I can’t help it, $19 cute simple wedge boots. They come in 4 different colors. 

Ecola Inn is located directly in front of Haystack Rock and smack dab in the middle of Cannon beach, closest hotel to the ocean. A perfect beach funky place for the Maloney’s to drink ourselves silly together since the 1960’s.
Jeff and I rolled in early this morning with presents in hand. We’ve been parked in front of the windows watching the ocean wrap itself around the building and crash against Haystack. 3 champagnes in, endless to go. Portland… see you Friday.

Urban Outfitters let me walk out of their store with three dresses for $30 last week. Pretty much amazing!  All sale items %50 ooooofffffffff. Say what? This dress above you can find HERE.

Post inspired by tomorrows Christmas Eve party at the Wrights. Option 1, 2 or 3 ladies and gentlemen? What’s the verdict? Give it to me!
In saying that, early to bed, early to rise. I have shots to prepare and a house to situate. Santa’s coming!

**Important note to self:  Do not wait until the end of the evening to take self portraits for blog.  In a nutshell, my dress was used as the dance floors snot rag last friday night at Columbia’s design art auction holiday party.

I threw this little number together the night before the party and am impressed that such a last minute shuffle turned out to be my favorite look of all time. First of all this dress is the most comfortable gauze sheet ever worn. Not to mention I can eat copious amounts of holiday meats and treats and still feel like my dress is way to big for me. I wore this dress once before on a hot summer day HERE.  I swooped by a fabric store and picked up the brightest red fabric I could find which happen to be in a silk dupioni… extremely moldable and thin. I wrapped the fabric around my head, tied it in a bow and tucked in the frayed pieces along the cut edges. Do IT!
