The Truth About Cats & Dogs



I went to the Oregon Coast (Pacific City), last weekend with my girlfriend (not actual lesbian…just a girl that happens to be my friend). We packed shorts, tank tops, flip-flops, and all sorts of summer clothing…unfortunately we forgot we live in Oregon. We were stuck inside all weekend! Of course our clothes was too (well non-existent), for the cold weather. 

Not all was lost though. We made cookies, drank margaritas, watched movies, and laid around in this super comfy clothing all weekend. Pretending it was winter. Because going to the coast in Oregon – even if its mid August – will always feel a bit like winter.

 
To our great fortune,  The Truth About Cats & Dogs was on TV on Saturday. An adorable film about a radio personality (Janeane Garofalo), and her best friend air head (Uma Thurman). Falling for the same guy with a sexy accent. He thinks they’re the same person (radio personality with the body of Uma Thurman….hahaha yeah right). And so the movie goes.





 Aside from the totally 90’s fashion that I ABSOLUTELY love...



 the movie also had this amazing song that I can’t, I won’t get over!

I Love...ORCHID GREY!



I blogged for a while.

Then I stopped.

And Now I’m blogging again. But the Orchid Grey blog is one blog I have never stopped following. Any friends that ask about blogs I follow, I definitely point them to Orchid Grey and into Julie Sharp’s (Orchid Grey blogger), capable little hands.  And why am I writing about this beautiful lady today? Well yesterday my sister and I were emailing back in forth (we work for the same company and when we’re not busy – or just bored – we’ll email each other), and this was our quick conversation:

L – I am SO ready for fall fashion, despite the fact I’m not too fashionable!
R - Such Oregonians, I know I’m ready for fall. I always obsess over Orchid Grey’s closet in the fall!

And then I sent her about 100 pictures from the lovely blog. And sent a link telling her to look on it for inspiration. I decided I should share Orchid Grey with all of you! Now, I know that she is an amazing blogger, and has wonderful style YEAR ROUND! But I believe she truly thrives in the fall and winter months. Seriously. Go model for J.Crew. I gush…and then I go everywhere trying to find similar things to wear.

Dreaming of marrying cookies to a sea or hot chocolate. Waking up to complete silence, as snow has blanketed the earth while I slept. Walking Princess in our hazelnut orchards smelling the damp trees. Looking out my windows to see the vineyards changing colors. Oh Oregon, you too, come alive in the fall. Here you are; some of my favorite fall looks by the lovely Julie Sharp!

Fashionable Films - 16 Candles

Now, I'm not going to go ALL OUT crazy over Samantha Baker's (Molly Ringwald) wardrobe, the outfits that always stood out to me where Duckie's! He was SUCH. A. BADASS. The Otis Redding impersonation is seriously the way I get when I'm listening to music! The vests. The scrunchie socks. The hat. The glasses. So great. I couldnt get enough of him in this film.

Film Fashion - You've Got Mail


I don’t know about you but I’m all about Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. Best on-screen couple. I love them together. But one of my favorite movies (Confession: I watched it 11 times in one week once…yes, I’m aware I have no life), is You’ve Got Mail! First…I love books. Second…I love fall (and that’s when the movie begins). Third…I’ve never been to New York but I’d love to go. And fourth…IT’S TOM HANKS AND MEG RYAN! What’s not to love. I'm always in agony whether Tom and Meg will get together in the end...watch it I know you'll love it!  In her last scene Meg Ryan wears the simple outfit to meet her secret “online” friend and I thought the outfit would be simple enough to recreate. So here you are…plus some pictures of this adorable film:

I Pity the Fool


Hola my friends! Today as I walked out the door I realized that I was wearing an all black outfit with a big gold chain necklace and my thought was "Oh my god...I'm turning into Mr. T." Of course since I've been seeing such lovely black and gold things lately I really don't mind. Who would have thought Mr. T would be such a trend setter.

Foxy Facial Hair

A clean-cut boy was never my style. I  love the bearded man. The hairy, beastly, wild, untamed man. The man that said no to the razor...and yes to the scotch...on the rocks. When I was a kid my dad had a Mexi-stache (being Mexican and all -and it was the late 80's, who didn't have a horrible mustache), and I hated it. He'd kiss my cheek and I'd get scraped by the itching thing. I always told myself that I didn't want a boyfriend with any itchy facial hair...that was until I grew up and decided beards aren't bad....beards arent bad at all...

 Ryan Gosling....of course. 

Ryan Reynolds...says he doesnt like to be clean shaven...good....very good. 

Jon Hamm - says he's glad he's not a sexy person like Ryan Reynolds. Reynolds responded with "I think all the mirrors in Jon Hamm's house are broken." 

Robin Pecknold (singer of Fleet Foxes) - I took this picture last summer. Love this man.  

Hugh Jackman...one would be crazy if they wrote a post about facial hair and didn't mention Hugh Jackman. 

Scott Avett (one of the singers of the Avett Brothers) - I've got a thing for musicians...and I've got a thing for beards. Scott Avett was just a natural choice. 






Dan Van Horn (AKA: The Boyfriend)

Being an Oregonian and all...the only thing you see more than beards are Priuses.

Pinteresting

Okay....I have to admit...I'm a pinner. I'm addicted to pinning it....pinning it real good. I recently set up my Pinterest. I know! It's been on there forever...and I never set up an account because I thought it sounded silly (and I didnt know how it worked so I thought it sounded hard ha)! But now I cant stop! I want to pin every picture I see. I have a board for a wedding (who doesn't though), and I'm not even engaged! Silly really...if my boyfriend found out he may just hit the road...this pinning is some crazy sh*t! When I'm pinning I'm not really being crazy...but Pinterest is set up to make me look like a crazy person. Like I'm putting a pin in this...and in this...and in this! 

Anyway enough of these crazy pinsessed rants. I only have 6 boards right now...but I see that number growing soon. Yes....quite soon. My favorite thing to do now is go down my reader list and pin my heart on of the blogs I follow!!! 

Favorite pins you say? 

Board: What Up Hoooomes? 




Board: Fashion Fa Fa Fa Fashion



Board: Going to the Chapel





Board: Somebody to Love

Do you have a pinterest? Let me know I'm always looking for inspiration!
