Yesterday was my 24th birthday, and it was absolutely wonderful! Steph, Andrew and I picked up some yummy coffee from Java Mama, then headed to SE Portland for lunch at the Mac and Cheesery. For dessert, we hit up the always wonderful Saint Cupcake. I had to go to class for a couple hours, which I really didn't mind doing on my birthday, since it's my favorite class ever! Afterwards, Andrew's mum picked us up for a delicious dinner at Stanfords, complete with birthday creme brulee! Then we relaxed at home with some Doctor Who episodes. Altogether, it was a lovely birthday!

And it's exciting that I still have my birthday party next week to look forward to! Even more exciting: my wonderful fantastic amazing mother's birthday gift to me is: MY ROCKET SHIP TATTTOO. I've been thinking about it and wanting it for a long time, and I am ecstatic that I can finally get it!

These pictures were taken in my parent's yard in Wasilla, Alaska. Notice the lack of snow! That's a pretty weird occurrence for this time of year. During most of my visit, it was actually colder here in Portland, Oregon than it was in Alaska! Luckily, on the day before I left, it started dumping snow, and all was right again. It was really great getting to spend some time with my family and friends. I'll show you guys some more Alaska pictures later.

Here's me trying to get Bowser the Schnauzer to take a picture with me. He didn't really feel like looking at the camera!

Outfit: pearls and lace

  

dress: modcloth   lace cardigan: forever 21   tights: house of holland   

I got this dress a couple months ago when modcloth was having that crazy awesome sale. It's really comfy, flowy, and silky. I'm currently in the midst of a three-day weekend, making some fresh jewelry, and editing etsy listings. I have a handful of new pieces made, but it just takes so long sometimes to photograph, edit, and list it all. Wish me luck!
