Greetings from the other coast! We’re adventuring around Florida today, so I’m not exactly dressing like my usual Pacific-Northwest-fall-loving self. Feels a little funny to be posting this outfit that would be far too warm to be wearing here (hello, humidity!) However, there’s only so much you can do while traveling. Today I’m actually wearing a lot of color, and I’m sweating my face off. Err… I mean looking super glam and drinking cocktails on the beach! Don’t worry, I’ve got a serious amount of sunscreen on. This pale princess is staying full on ghostly. ;)

Office Must Haves

October 22, 2015

Sponsored Post: This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Essilor. As always, my thoughts and adoration of my new glasses is all my own. ;)

If you’ve been following along for a little while, you may remember me mentioning some changes we were making to our home. One of those changes was repurposing a bedroom and instead creating a two-person office. It took awhile for us to find furniture. We wanted everything to match – so we finally found Ikea desks we both liked and chairs we both could agree on. I honestly never believed a 5’3″ person and a 5’11” person to both agree on the same chair… but it finally happened. I thought it would be fun to give you a little tour of my personal office space and share my favorite things on my desk now that I’m all settled in.

Office Must-Haves

Storage & Organization: If you’re anything like me, you end up with a ton of little junk that doesn’t really have a great place to “live.” For me, that’s things like lip balm, hand lotion, paper clips, memory cards, and USB drives. I ended up with acrylic stacking organizers from Ikea and an acrylic letter tray from Target that work great for this purpose!

DIY Willy Wonka Costume

October 21, 2015

I’ve loved the original 1970s Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie for about as long as I can remember. From the silly songs, memorable characters, and the amount of delicious looking sweets, for me, it’s a classic. I initially thought about dressing up like Veruca Salt, my favorite character, however, there’s nothing more memorable than Willy Wonka himself! I decided to put a feminine spin on this classic costume (without the sexy that the packaged versions go for). This DIY Willy Wonka Costume is made up of pieces that you may already have in your closet, plus a few things that can easily be found at your favorite thrift store.

Parisian Combat Boot Outfit

The fact that October is almost over is giving me a little bit of anxiety. Honestly, how is it almost Halloween? Is it really almost November? These are all realizations I had this weekend so I won’t lie; I’m in panic mode this week. I even realized yesterday, while I was supposed to be relaxing during my every-other-month facial, that I forgot to rent us a car for our Miami trip coming up. Yep, hot mess express. Oops.

The Breakfast Club

October 16, 2015

Sponsored Post: I am being compensated by noosa yoghurt for this post. All opinions of the delicious breakfast I ate are my own. :)

Last week, I was thrilled to be invited to a breakfast gathering in Fremont at with Trends on Trends and noosa yoghurt, prepared by Chef Renee Erickson at The Whale Wins. The breakfast was a meeting of the minds: creatives from the Seattle area from food to fashion to photography gathered and chatted the morning away.

Pumpkin noosa yoghurt with Walnuts at Breakfast Club, Seattle // hellorigby seattle lifestyle blog

Even though I’m not a food blogger, I still enjoy food. Eating it, anyway. Quite a bit actually. The spread did not disappoint. To start the morning, there was a noosa yoghurt bar, complete with toppings curated by the chef. I chose Pumpkin with walnuts, which was a sweet yet tart, extremely creamy yoghurt. The walnuts added a nice crunch.
