A month or so ago, I booked a trip to Portland to relax, explore, collect my thoughts, and see Macklemore. Yeah, it’s whatever…just kidding, I’m so excited. As you probably know because I talk about it 24/7, Portland is one of my very favorite places in the world, right after Gualala, CA and Disneyland. Actually, I might even love Portland more than Disneyland. That feels like a big deal.
I’m pretty thankful and happy about how this October has turned out. I set out to redefine this month and learn to not be so superstitious that bad things were inevitably going to happen. A year ago I was a terrible mess, but at the same time, it was the beginning of the most growing year of my life. I am learning many things.
Anyway, Portland. I just got here, and I’m so excited to have four girl’s nights in a row with my childhood best friend, as well as see some other great friends and fam. It will be the best.
Ooh, also! Shop Update: it may seem like the Earl Grey Shop is doomed for life, but I’m almost ready to reopen it. Lots of slouchy hats and cozies are coming very soon, with a few fun surprise details. Just have to photograph them.
Hope you are all having a great weekend. :)

So excited for you, sounds like it will be an awesome trip! I’ve never been to Portland, but I’ve always thought it would be a city I would like. Enjoy your trip!

Have fun! I love Portland even though I’ve only spent real time there twice (pretty lame for growing up in Washington). Get donuts at coco donuts – so good! Oh, and I visited the NW district of Portland (I think that’s what it’s called) last year, which has all those cute boutiques and loved it. Have you been there?

Hope you have an amazing time, and good for you for seeing that you’ve grown. ♥ I’m kinda in that stage of my life as well, and it’s empowering once you grab hold of it. :) xo.

Portland is the best! I’ve lived here for over 4 years and its magic still hasn’t worn off yet! Hope you had a great time! :)

Ah, I would do anything to visit Oregon again! I was born in Baker City and somehow ended up in Missouri! My soul longs for the west and to go back one day!
Xo, Emma
