Seen in green. Mint, kelly, apple, you name it, I’m into it. 

This week I’ve been anticipating escaping the city to be in the trees, on the water and surrounded by nature. Camping starts in T minus 18 hours with good friends and couldn’t be happier. By no means will my surroundings look anything of sort to the photo’s above, but I truly could be sitting in the middle of a mud puddle with a smore’s in one hand and a beer in the other and undoubtedly feel like I am. #vacationdeprived   

I’ve scored some serious deals on some cute little items and thought I’d share them with you. I tend to get a little impatient while shopping in person; being in a stuffy mall and the feeling of being locked inside with no sight of the outside world gives me the heebies.  But ever so often I’ll venture out and run into some amazing finds I wouldn’t have otherwise found. Details below from top to bottom, left to right:

H&M Sandals – $34.95 adorable and cheap! Click HERE for details
Zara mint Blazer – $59.00 well made and beautiful bright color! Click HERE for details
J.Crew Tessellate Necklace – $38.00 was $89 during their 40% off sale… sign up for their emails. Its sold out but find similar HERE
Rebecca Minkoff Studded Affair Bag – Bought mine on eBay for a third of the price. I suggest you do the same. Wink!
Target wedges – $29.99 shockingly comfortable. Go out now to find them at your local store, I bought mine 2 days ago and they were the only pair. They don’t carry them online. 🙁

That’s all folks. I’m off to wrangle my camping gear and DIY some adult sippy cups out of mason jars. It’s time to PARTY!

Have a good weekend!

I am in love with this neon craze that is happening; an 80’s throwback and beautiful hues to capture in nature. As a kid my dresser drawer was filled with Fluorescent socks ready to layer one over the other then paired with Keds, bodysuits layered with shorts and cropped tops splashed with fluorescent paint; I craved trends then as much as I do now. “Back in the day when I was young I’m not a kid anymore but somedays I sit and wish I was a kid again”.  

I found this bandeau on Tobi.com right before my girls vegas trip in May. I had yet to wear it in Portland until just this last weekend when Portland’s Produce Row held their “Do Over” event, and it was HOT! Jeff and I were convinced we needed to go so we arrived 15 minutes before the event started ensuring ourselves a short wait in line… the line was around the block when we arrived. “All dressed up and no where to go”.  Even better though, we joined our friends Stephanie and Tommy to run around North Portland in the hot sun listening to good music.

You can find this Bandage Bandeau on Tobi.com HERE.  
Another online store I talk about frequently is Asos; based in the UK but shipping is free as well as returns. So the great thing about asos is that they carry an awesome selection of brands as well as their own label (my personal favorite and affordable). The clutch shown above came from their ASOS WHITE collection. This particular portfolio clutch is sold out but similar HERE. 

 

This post was inspired by my fierce desire to go sailing… pretty much up there with horse back riding.  

 

Columbia Sportswear through Instagram… Basically these New York trips are Columbia’s Color and Print Committee’s time to research the marketplace and competition. We meet with Global Trend services to share future color direction for the season and Print Design Studio’s to purchase graphics or prints for seasonal inspiration.
