Shorts + Sunsets

A lot of "firsts" happened last Friday.


I coloured my brows in thicker:

I wore shorts for the first time*:

And I saw the most amazing sunset ever, from my roof, no less:

I had a lot of firsts that weekend as I covered The Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle all by my lonesome. I'll be recapping all the hi-jinx in my next post, but in the meantime, you can read about the music I saw HERE.

How are you all anyway? Comments have been low here and that's my fault, I don't get around as much and I am not blogging as much but that should change. PLEASE drop me a line and say hello! :) ALSO I might do a MODCLOTH giveaway - who would be down for that?

*I hate shorts. They are not made for my body. I had a pair of cut-off shorts I wore in Mexico in my teen years. I wore a pair of shorts on the beach in New Zealand. But never in public and never out to dinner. But, I did it. And I might do it again before the weather gets colder!

You always have to most amazing pictures of sunsets from your roof!! So gorgeous. I wish there was a way to bottle all that up for dreary days. :)

I like the shorts. They look cute.

Sorry I have not been around much either. Life has been crazy lately. But I have enjoyed following your adventures on Facebook and Twitter. :)

I think you look GREAT in those shorts. Easy casual chic. I didn't think they looked odd or weren't made for you at all -- you look perfectly natural in them.

I saw that sunset too, it was incredible! I couldn't stop staring... even while driving... oops.

these firsts are really working for you...beautiful x

I'm new to your blog, and have enjoyed reading about your travels, and escapades. I'm a "retired" costumer from LA living in Seattle. I guess you can consider me a professional. I think the shorts look great. You look fit enough that you could get away with a higher hem, and that would give your leg more length. Keep trying and looking, there are so many choices in shorts!

Thanks guys :)

Daisy - so, SO nice to see you again!

These pictures are amazing! It's wonderful to be able to see sunsets like that in your own backyard, so to speak.

And you look nice in shorts! I understand your not wanting to wear them, because I don't wear them either, but the outfit was great. I think they actually looked better than a skirt would have.

Nice sunset! And good on ya for the 'short shorts' - they look good for dinner. What about when it DOES get colder? You could pair them with tights... would you?? :)

Beautiful. You and the sunset.

i can't believe that's one of your first times wearing shorts! you look great in them. i think you should definitely rock that look some more. the sunset and the view are amazing. how was bumbershoot? i'm sort of bitter you got to see edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros live. i hope it was amazing. i've never been to an outdoor huge festival so i've decided that i'm stowing away in your suitcase one day when you least expect. i'll bring copious amounts of booze so my deceitful smuggling can be forgiven.
