¡Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Cinco de Mayo, my friends! It seems fitting after my most recent posts about my first trip to the beautiful country.

hell froze over

Last week, I spent time in Minneapolis for work. Oh my goodness, it was cold! It got down to -9 degrees. I took off my jacket off for the first few pictures above and almost died. Although the temperatures were harrowing, the city was still quite lovely. I felt as though I was returning to a…

Little Red Riding Hoodie

I got this hoodie a while back while I was in Portland. It’s an interesting piece to have in your closet. The bold colors and length make a statement indeed. At first thought, it’s great for workouts or a walk to the gym. But I wanted to take it a step further and turn it…

rub-a-dub-dub, the Allegheny River is a giant tub!

6.0 love forever!

Recently, my friend Chris and I were talking about why sometimes people think I’m an insane person when I go into specialty sneaker shops. Chris and a friend of his started up a specialty sneaker shop called Sole Classics in Columbus Ohio  five years ago. They have since sold it and it’s continuing to do…
