Lazy-Busy Day | Outfit Post

It's cloudy and rainy off and on here in Portland, which is a perfect day off for me since Jenna is off on her road trip, I've got a lot of work to catch up on. I can't wait until she posts photos of her trip once she gets back to Boston!

While working from my house, I'm also waiting for some friends from the east coast to arrive in a few hours. They're here for the weekend and are some of my oldest friends, so I'm super excited. I figured I'd share an outfit post in between running errands and working from home, since I'll be awfully busy with them for a few days. I've recently start working part time for Buffalo Exchange and the store is simply magic! I've been thinking about a couple summer must haves to add to my wardrobe and it seems within a few days, I magically find them in my size! I recently picked up this creme pleated circle skirt which is in amazing vintage condition and just for $10! 

 

Lazy lazy..

 

 

I'm so in love with this skirt! The shoes I am wearing are also a vintage pick from Buffalo Exchange. Turns out they were one of my coworkers before they hit the store!

 

Alright, time to finish some work up before the boys get here. Have an amazing weekend and happy fourth! 

 

Top: H&M, flowy crop top, last season

Special Delivery | Brixton

This morning I received a special package from my buddy Jason at Brixton. I've known Jason for a while now through friends back on the east coast, but he actually lives in Southern California. He was nice enough to send us a bunch of promotional stickers, buttons and unbreakable combs (coming soon)

 

 

Pete is going to be psyched on this comb. We've been on the hunt for a real tortoise shell comb for some time with no luck, so this will be a happy second!

 

Back in January we all went on a trip to a friend's farm house in Pennsylvania. He shot a bunch of promo shots from the Brixton Spring and Winter catalogues while we were there using my boyfriend.  He gave us these catalogues too, strictly for vanity purposes and they feature a whole slew of our buddies modeling their favorite Brixton pieces. Handsome guy if you ask me!

Hello!

I'm Sydney and being this is my first post, I wanted to fill you in on what I've been up to and what I'll be getting into! I just moved to Portland, OR from Boston, MA pretty much on a whim with a last minute opportunity. My boyfriend was offered work here with Union Pacific and since we've been talking about moving some place completely new to get a fresh start for years, we figured it was it! We had two weeks to quit our jobs, pack up our "necessities" and say good bye to all of our friends and family. It was difficult, but exciting at the same time and every day since still has!

We lived in our truck named Michael for a week venturing through midwest road side attractions, frightening rocky mountain heights in our little v4 truck leading to a break down in Spokane. Every day is a new adventure both exciting and frightening.

I'm still struggling and it's all a little overwhelming, but it's just a new chapter. I can't wait for what's ahead for me and to share it all. I'll be posting about fashion, food, day trips and exploring, reviews on new-to-me spots in the city, what I wore and a lot more!
