have you ever...

...attempted to juice a pomegranate? not an easy task, my friend. but oh-so-rewarding. also, clean-up in aisle - my whole kitchen. it looks like a crime scene in here.

{pomegranate martini.}

have yourself a merry little christmas.

well, not quite yet. but 'tis the season for christmas lights, christmas trees and christmas music. and cinnamon scented candles. bliss. bliss. bliss.

behind the scenes.

seven pizzas and one nutella calzone later...take that, monday! 

treat yo' self.

because sometimes i like to make myself a four course dinner on a monday night. 

{bruschetta.}

{arugula & apple salad.}

{margherita pizza.}

{nutella calzone. yum.}

waiting...

...for inspiration. way behind on blogging. preoccupied with life. dreaming of warmer days.

sun. salt & straw. sisters.

ingredients for a perfect sister date: sunshine. puppies. sailboats. overly friendly portlanders. window shopping. AND ice cream for dinner. sea salt with caramel ribbon and honey lavender - divine.

golden hour.

{photographer's favorite time of day.}

good night, pdx.

love. love. love this city.

it's the magic mystery kind.

magnetic. ethereal. psychedelic. mesmerizing. 

hippie fest + really stellar dance moves + one big group of talented musicians = magic.

press play. do it. and try not to be inspired by alex's killer moves.

 -

september sunshine.

it's the little things in life. fresh flowers from saturday market. coffee from the coffee shop around the corner. clean sheets. scented candles. homemade chocolate chip cookies. love. love. love.

when i root...

i root for the timbers!
