I’ll say it once, I’ll say it again, I’ll say it a thousand times…I’m kind of a vintage freak. Searching the thrift stores for cool vintage pieces is like treasure hunting. But if you don’t feel like being a pirate, Solestruck has all your vintage treasures in one place! This lookbook is a combination of Shoes from Solestruck’s Department of Antiquities (vintage at its finest) and clothing from some of the best vintage stores in Portland. I’m pretty much in love with the styling of this shoot.
Here’s a link to the full Lookbook, and some of my fave shots below:
clothing provided by Yo Vintage! Rad Summer and Ms. Wood…..and a few of my own personal pieces ;-)

It’s wonderful when you get to model for a company/store that you truly love. Solestruck is my absolute favorite shoe store in the world! The people that work there are fabulous, they know their shit, they are obsessed with shoes like me; they are seriously awesome. :)
The amount of awe-inspiring shoes that Solestruck carries is almost disgusting, and it seems like every day they get even more unbelievable pairs…checking their site for new shoes is kind of an addiction of mine…an addiction that leaves me broke, stylish, guilty and happy all at the same time. Here is a shot from one of the shoots I did recently for Solestruck…
Warning: This levitation maneuver should only be attempted while wearing Chloe Sevingy for Opening Ceremony, sneakers. They give you super human strength, plus, they are the most comfortable things I have ever put on my feet. They are old-school in a good way-Bringing back the late-ninties. I had a pair just like this in Junior High…and I did win best dressed at Evergreen Middle School….just sayin’….
Anyway, www.solestruck.com offers free shipping worldwide! Plus they are just plain good people. If you happen to be in Portland for any reason, they also have a flagship store here.
And a blog
One of my favorite homemade Christmas candies are my grandma’s coconut bon bons. These are a lower calorie and vegan version. I like them even better! (sorry grandma!)
Although these are my favorite Christmas candy, it doesn’t have to be Christmas to make these amazing little balls of joy! I like to keep them in the freezer and sneak one out every now and then for a special treat. ;-)
I made this pie for Thanksgiving, and ended up eating the whole thing myself! It’s gluten-free, vegan, requires no baking and is very quick and easy to make. What could be better?! Just don’t eat the whole thing like I did. Sorry for the poor picture quality, my camera broke and all I had was my iphone camera :-/
p.s. If you don’t like bananas, this pie would also be good topped with mangos, fresh berries or just about any kind of fruit. The next time I make it I think I will use mangos.
An interesting twist to traditional pasta sauce. Try this recipe while butternut squash is still in season. You won’t regret it!
This salad was inspired by a recipe from the blog 101cookbooks. The original recipe called for feta and parmesan cheese, which I omitted, and added superfirm tofu to make it vegan and I tweaked a few other ingredients. It turned out really good! Even better the next day.
