I’ve had this pair of boots that season after season weren’t getting worn. If I wanted a cowboy look, I’d always wear my mom’s cowboy boots. (I’ve only posted these boots one for a Fab 40s collab.) Then, after success with my fringe sandals and my trimmed mini skirt, I thought to myself: maybe theseContinue reading DIY Trimmed Boots
A white sundress is a summer necessity. A white sundress paired with cowboy boots is a stylistic take on vacationing in Idaho. Actually one of the new stores that has cropped up in Spirit Lake is a vintage cowboy boot shop–I must go take a look. During the summer though, out at Spirit Lake, I’llContinue reading White Sundress with Cowboy Boots
After all the fashion weeks around the world, it’s very exciting to see what’s hot on the street right now. Among many trends, like leopard and plaid, there was one trend that has caught me by surprise: Western! Since I am unable to upload any photos at this time, due to the poor WiFi atContinue reading Wearing Western
My good friend Sheela is a genius at joining women bloggers together around the world. From The Fab 40s, to her Project Sister Act, to now this Mother’s Day post, she connects people. When she asked me if I’d want to write this post this Mother’s Day post with three other blogging mothers, my instantContinue reading Mum’s the Word–A Mother’s Day Collaboration
The moment we head left on Main Street to pass through Spirit Lake and head down toward the lake, we slow down and take inventory. This summer sadly the regular ice cream parlor we’d frequent often was vacant. It was quite sad for all of us–especially the kids and their grammy. On the upside however,Continue reading Spirit Lake–One of the Fashion Capitols of the World
It’s official! Yesterday marked the start of autumn. Over here in Hong Kong though, we have about another month or so until the weather begins to chill. Once I found my mom’s cowboy boots out at the cabin this summer, I started scheming their wear. Here I paired them with some army green jeans andContinue reading Autumnal Equinox
Driving across Washington state displays an array of beauty: you’ve got the desert Gorge, the magnificent Rockies, sometimes a glimpse of Mt. Rainer, and then tons and tons of wheat fields. One weekend when we left cold rainy Seattle, I knew to wear my mom’s cowboy boots as they’d provide the perfect warmth. Once theContinue reading Washington Wheat Fields
As seen from our summer highlights, the kids really enjoyed learning how to water ski and wakeboard this summer. While there are many great things about Spirit Lake, one of them is the ultimate glassy water we have at almost any time of the day. Spirit Lake is truly a water skier’s dream! It’s gotContinue reading Morning Wake
Waking up out at Spirit Lake is just bliss! Every morning that the sun shines we see these sparkly diamonds glistening on the lake. Because Kevin and I sleep out on the porch, we are awoken by this view with accompanied birds every morning. Sometimes I like to take my coffee down to the dockContinue reading Coffee with Diamonds and on the Lake
Our cabin out at Spirit Lake is actually a part of a housing development that started in the 1920s. The Tesemini Outing Club started out as a club for the Spokane elite; the families would make outings out this beautiful setting on Spirit Lake. I can only imagine the fashions that were involved for eachContinue reading The Outing Club
