getting away: smith rock

Since I am playing a little bit of catch up here, I thought I would share some photos from an amazing trip I took with Miles and some friends in October. Miles and I have taken up rock climbing in the last year (he is much better at it than I am) and some of our climber-type friends invited us to Smith Rock, a beautiful state park in Oregon's high desert. This was my first time climbing outside of the gym and on some real rocks, so I was a little nervous, but luckily I have amazing and patient friends that were along for the adventure with me.

Aside from Smith Rock being a rock climbing and hiking hot spot, it was incredibly beautiful. We lucked out with amazing weather and got to take in breathtaking views of the park and the surrounding rural towns. Maybe it's the holiday spirit creeping up on me, but looking through these photos reminded me of how thankful I am to live in the Northwest. So many beautiful places to visit that are just a short road trip away. Not to mention how thankful I am to have great people to share those trips with. Doesn't get much better than that, folks. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

add to cart: fall and winter favorites

Flash forward! Amazing how time flies when you are neglecting your 8 only most important blog followers. Here comes the part where I sincerely apologize to you, my loyal readers, for not posting anything on mmt for nearly a year. I'm so sorry!

To make up for it, I hope you will accept this small gift. My fall and winter faves! As always, I have filled my virtual cart to the brim with my favorite items for my favorite time of year. I love the cold weather and the layers of cute clothes and accessories that come along with it. Of course, that might be because the layers of cute clothes conveniently cover up other layers that tend to accumulate around this time of year. But that's neither here nor there. I hope you enjoy the fashion feast I have cooked up for you below. Eat your heart out!

here we go....

The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! Music to my little brown ears....

Last time my beloved San Fransisco Giants went to the World Series was in 2002, a series Giants fans would rather forget. If there is ever another rally monkey within a ten foot radius of me, it and its owners heads are coming right off (a rally monkey is a stuffed animal, i'm a lover of real animals that aren't super lame).

Last time the Giants won a World Series? 1954 as the New York Giants, a magical team made up of greats like Willie Mays and Hank Thompson. Now we have a new team full of awesomeness, a band of misfits that seem to belong in an early 1990's baseball movie. The wacky team with the badass closer. They came back from a mediocre season, gave their fans near heart attacks and grey hairs to make it all the way to the series and prove so many wrong. The time has come my friends, let's make the Say Hey Kid proud! Go Orange.

weekend snapshots: pumpkin party!

So just a few quick things about carving pumpkins in your 20's:

1. It's awesome. 

2. You get to pick out the biggest pumpkin you want without having to fight off your younger brothers. 

3.You're a little more responsible with sharp objects, so you and your friends can carve out super cool designs. 

4.Booze. 

Maybe numbers three and four don't always go together so well. But, turns out carving pumpkins is equally as fun in my post-college adult years as it was when I was six. Thank goodness!

add to cart: fall favorites

So, every so often I do this thing (it's kind of my drug of choice...I'm trying to quit) where I fill up my shopping cart on my favorite websites, ignore the prices and imagine that money is no object. For a moment I feel free, invincible....like I can do anything with my Visa as my trusty sidekick. Eventually, I come down from my high and realize two months with a roof over my head trumps a pair of tan leather boots. But hey, a girl can dream right?


Here are some of my recent favorites from JCrew, No6 Store, Anthropologie, and Urban Outfitters. Also on a side note, these aren't necessarily part of any fall collections...but it is fall, and they are my favorites. So you know, fall favorites. Enjoy!
