Before we left Lummi Island, we had to explore the beach! There’s a little private access trail right across the road from the Willows Inn, so after our breakfast fail, we took to the trail. This gorgeous beach was our reward… now if only Washington beaches weren’t so rocky! Ouch.
They are still pretty darn pretty though. I suppose that makes up for the 5 million rocks that made their way into my sandals. Continue reading
I saw a piece today on i-D about how fashion bloggers may be ruining fashion for us as consumers on Instagram. As a quasi-fashion blogger who follows some of those big fashion bloggers, I get that. What do Rumi Neely of Fashion Toast, Wendy of Wendy’s Lookbook, and Aimee of Song of Style all share? Killer Instagram feeds (um, and millions of followers.) But that comes at a price, to the tune of several thousands of dollars worth of merch if I want to recreate that look myself. For me, and probably most of you, that’s just not accessible.
Sorry, you won’t find fresh flowers in my handbag, but you can have a dog. :)

I’ve been blabbing about our trip last weekend to Lummi Island in almost every post this week, but I still haven’t really shared much about it (other than the lack WiFi or TV on the island) So, there’s that. But really, this was a fun little weekend escape, though I think both of us were thrilled to get off the island and back to civilization when all was said and done.
We departed on Sunday, which happened to be Dave’s birthday (and no, I won’t disclose his age. That’s not nice.) He didn’t know where we were going. This is our third birthday together, and each year I’ve surprised him with a mystery destination. It’s hard to up the ante, but I jumped at the chance to travel to Lummi Island after I heard about Willows Inn Chef Blaine Wetzel co-winning this year’s James Beard Award. Continue reading
A couple of weekends ago, the weather was too nice to stay inside. We decided our local Gene Coulon Park was the ticket for some dinner and a nice stroll. And by nice stroll, I mean walk around the park, chase some geese, eat some food, and get blown away by the wind.
Dave was in Vegas in June and one of the things I always ask for (ok, let’s be real, I demand) is for him to bring me back a present of some kind from his trip. I was expecting some dorky Vegas tee or mug, but he brought me back this kimono. Score!
Happy Fourth of July! I hope you’re able to enjoy some sun, some good food and good company today!
