I took a workshop put on by <a href="http://pdxbloggers.com/">Portland Bloggers</a> where we worked with some amazing photographers like <a href="http://margaretjacobsen.com/">Marge Jacobsen</a> on our photography skills (or lack their of). I LOVE this glam, rock n' roll smiley necklace that I photographed on <a href="http://sharksnstars.blogspot.com//">Sarah</a> from <a href="https://www.favery.com/products/2161">Favery</a>.

I took a sewing class and created this fun tote in a few hours. The class was held at PDX's <a href="http://moderndomesticpdx.com/">Modern Domestic</a>. I would highly recommend their classes. I've taken 2 classes and the instructors have both been wonderful. And the sewing machines! You sew on these amazing Bernina sewing machines that Modern Domestic sells. Admittedly, they are kind of awesome and have all kinds of cool features to make your sewing even and perfect-looking.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My tote is made out of a black and white home decor fabric lined with a bright blue duck cloth (just like my cardigan). It was a fun project and I'm hoping to do some more sewing. </div>

I love to crochet and have made a lot of items over the years. Hundreds of scarves would not be an exaggeration. But this was a BIG first. My <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/184463047/1x2x-bright-turquoise-and-bright-pink?ref=shop_home_active_1">first actual item</a> of crochet clothing. I typically like to do smaller project like accessories or little animals. I <i>like</i> projects that I can finish. But making my first crochet shrug was pretty awesome! Yes, it took a lot longer than little projects, but I'm sure happy with the final result. It was a little tricky, but I think I'm off to a great start with creating more wearable art of the clothing variety. :)<br />
<br />
I also posted some other new items in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MIZCHE">etsy shop</a>, yup you guessed it - scarves! But these are not just any old scarves... these are <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MIZCHE?section_id=14043324&ref=shopsection_leftnav_2">toast scarves</a>, which are kind of awesome.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Honest. Authentic. Awesome.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I went to an event at <a href="http://www.portlandsewing.com/sewing/">Portland Sewing</a> where Project Runway winner <a href="http://www.gretchenjonesnyc.com/">Gretchen Jones</a> spoke about her experiences in the fashion industry. And it didn't start when she was competing on Season 8 of the reality TV show Project Runway. Her experience in fashion started when she was designing and sewing her own dresses as a child, a young child. I can't remember the exact age, but let's just say she was sewing entire outfits when the rest of us were still finger painting. Gretchen grew up in a rural community where it was normal for people to create. Her grandmother was a seamstress and her dad was a carpenter. Creating was just a part of life. And it was the beginning the path that would lead her to reality TV, NYC and even Portland. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was fascinating to hear Gretchen talk candidly about her experiences in the fashion industry. WOW. I really had no idea how much work and financial backing it takes to be a fashion designer. $10 million dollars? It's just a drop in the hat if you want to design a collection. I really do have a new appreciation for the job and what it takes. And the amount of work Gretchen put into her fashion career. Gretchen's mom said to her daughter, "It only took you 10 years to become an overnight success." I'm interested in handbag and jewelry design and after hearing about making samples in all the different sizes and technical patterns... well, let's just say clothing design is intense! You really need to want to do it. As Gretchen said, "It's a labor of love."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gretchen is back in the Rose City and starting a new job as the lead designer for a new contemporary line for Pendelton. It sounds amazing and I'm sure we'll be seeing her fabulous designs on a rack near us soon.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
And on a completely different topic, I want to be honest with you! White teeth are important. I can't tell you how many gorgeous folks, let their look be ruined with yellow teeth. It's not attractive. And a little teeth whitener can make a big difference. Also, smokers! You should quit smoking. However, even if you refuse to quit, at least whiten those teeth. (end rant)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks to influenster for my latest product to test: Colgate Optic White. It's a toothbrush and built-in whitening pen all in one. Basically, you just brush your teeth as normal. Then you apply the whitening gel and do not rinse. Colgate recommends applying the whitening gel twice a day, which is pretty simple because you are already brushing your teeth twice a day anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I stated above, I believe some pearly whites can take you from drab to fab. And if this product makes that easier for you, maybe you should try it! I've used lots of different whitening products and they all have their advantages and disadvantages. The great thing about this product? It's super easy to use and you don't have to put anything extra in your mouth (like a sticker over your teeth or hold a mouth piece).</div>

It was time for some fresh color, but after watching (and loving) what my stylist did to my hair the last couple of times - I decided to try to color my hair myself! She did a section of dark red a couple of inches wide at the my hairline. She also did the back, the half closer to the ends in a dark purple. And the crown section of my hair was still my natural dark brown hair color. I really loved this multi-toned violets look. I always wanted purple hair and this way I got it. But it was so subtle, it was still OK for the office and work. (Plus, red and purple fade SUPER fast. I don't think there is much you can do about that. It's part of the reason I wanted to see if I could get the same effect myself. I want to keep it up, but trips to a colorist can be quite spendy.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My first step was picking out the dark red and purple dye. (My colorist had also used a dark brown, but I figured it would be complicated enough trying to do 2 different hair dyes myself and I was right. It was super messy!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6CF8x_v3EyIZKY1RRQ8ZPrmPNgfweXbzNu64h0FpvEg8ga_rD8CEKyPR4cvtl2hgnj5TsM_qTLypRSHmCTpCuZgNEmDEYXjn8AKQk_JLAZdn03dyNoH1-SqeBKlqFmITOIQOErl-svip-/s1600/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6CF8x_v3EyIZKY1RRQ8ZPrmPNgfweXbzNu64h0FpvEg8ga_rD8CEKyPR4cvtl2hgnj5TsM_qTLypRSHmCTpCuZgNEmDEYXjn8AKQk_JLAZdn03dyNoH1-SqeBKlqFmITOIQOErl-svip-/s1600/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" height="320" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After reading some reviews online and being <i>very</i> limited when it comes to purple hair dye, I found these 2 hair dyes. I LOVED Garnier Nutrisse Nourshing Color Creme Intense Red for Naturally Dark Hair, Medium Intense Auburn. It looks a little violet too, which I love and is really intense. Actually compared to the professional color, it's holding up even better. How cool is that for $6?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I put my hair - just like you are putting your hair half up and dyed the bottom part with Vidal Sasson Deep Velvet Violet. If you have super dark brown hair like me, the dye does not perform like it suggests on the box. The purple is <i>a lot</i> subtler. But I was expecting that and it's definitely a color you can pull off in the office. Nobody is going to look at your hair and think it's purple. It's that subtle. I also wanted a bit of purple framing my face so I used a little by my face too on the sides by my ears.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next up was the red. I sectioned off a couple of inches by my hairline and dyed it with the red color. It even smelled fruity! It was super messy, but when I was all finished I had a similar look to what my colorist did for only $16. Just to be clear I don't plan on cutting, lighting or highlighting my own hair... but this I would definitely do again.</div>

I got to show off my new hair do at the Trail Blazers game. It was an intense game, but super fun. Shout out to my favorite players ROLO and MO. And we were finally in a section that won something...free yummy popcorn! <a href="http://rainydaysrubberducks.com/">Rachel</a> was there too. Oh, and we won. Go BLAZERS!</div>

I picked up Caramance facial moisturizer at Ulta. It was only $2 on clearance. I read a model's autobiography years ago and she recommended using a facial moisturizer like this, especially when traveling. The model said flying can dry out your skin and a light water mist can make all the difference. So I thought why not give it a whirl? Especially at clearance prices.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And
I have to say, it was kind of awesome! It's basically just a light
water mist over your face. It feels very luxurious. And supposedly it
doesn't mess up your make-up... it doesn't do much damage... but I
certainly wouldn't use it right before a photo session. It does give you a really youthful, dewy, glowing look... so if that's something you are going for, definitely give it a try! And it's just kind of fun. And who doesn't want a little fun in their day and to feel a bit like a super model!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also forced the product on my friend and fellow blogger Sarah. She wasn't so sure, but afterwards she did agree... </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Neutrogena's the anti-residue shampoo</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I headed to the aisles of my local super store in search of a clarifying shampoo. I don't know exactly <i>what </i>has
gotten into my hair, but it has some build-up that just won't go away.
Gross! I know there is probably something where it's because I wash my
hair everyday and that's really bad for it and if I just stopped
shampooing completely it would be perfect or something... BUT that's not
happening. I like my hair to be clean.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I tend to be
very partial toward Neutrogena products so I was so happy
when I found this shampoo that seemed to be exactly what I needed.
"Instantly removes over 90% of dulling residue." And I would say that's
pretty spot on. I washed my hair with this shampoo twice (this is normal
for me) and it definitely got rid of a A LOT of the build up in my
hair. Did it get rid of everything? No. But did it get rid of about
90%, I would say yes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I didn't read the fine print on
the shampoo before I purchased, but it does have specific instructions
to use once a week to make your favorite shampoo work better. I'm
guessing it's probably to harsh or would strip you hair to use it more
than once a week, but I'm crossing my fingers--this seems like it going to help out a lot. I think I still need to find this "favorite shampoo" they refer to, but at least I can get rid of some of that build-up! I'll let you know about a couple weeks of use how it's going with the anti-residue shampoo. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you enjoyed my 2 little product reviews! Have a wonderful weekend honeybees.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
XOXO</div>

Cheering. Blazers. PDX fun. ROLO.<br />
<br />
Last night was Stanford Alumni night at the Blazers game in Portland, OR. My friend Marie and I headed to the game, after some parking issues we made it to the game on time, but missed the pre-game happy hour. So we got some delicious and huge sandwiches from Bridgetown something (I would recommend!)... and watched the game. It was tons-o-fun per usual and Marie and I both agree MO WILLIAMS is one of our favorite players. We want to figure out how we can go to an alumni event for some school and meet him! Any tips, let me know! Oh, and I almost forgot we won! YAY.<br />
<br />
My other fave is Robin Lopez, mostly because he went to Stanford too and let's keep it real, he has awesome hair. After the game, we had a very PR heavy Q&A session with Robin. He was super nice and awesome. But we only got a group photo... that should be coming at some point. No individual photos, better luck next time? Maybe I will just bump into him at Powells? Apparently, there is a video on the Blazers site you can check out with a tour of Powells.<br />
<br />
Here is a photo of my new red MAC Rhianna Viva Glam lip look! It was perfect for the game and a blog post with my review of the lipstick and lip gloss will be coming soon.<br />

<br />
Some things Disney just does right and the movie Saving Mr. Banks is definitely one of them. This movie is everything I hoped for and more. It was inspirational. It was funny and sad and filled with superb actors like Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson. It was much more than a couple hours of entertainment. It was the kind of movie that makes you think in a good way.<br />
<br />
By the way, did you know that Walt Disney was from Missouri? Maybe I did at some point, but I had forgotten until I watched Saving Mr. Banks. I spent a number of years in Missouri during college and it seemed fitting that Walt Disney was from Missouri. Some really great people seem to hail from the Midwest. I think I'm going to read a biography on Walt Disney. I read that Walt Disney also worked in Journalism. I majored in Journalism myself and I think I might learn a bit from Walt Disney. I'll let you know what I end up reading about the great Walt Disney.<br />
<br />
For now, let's focus on some Walt Disney quotes. We can always use a bit of inspiration, especially as 2013 comes to an end.<br />

I'm hoping this is not a bad sign. A Friday night time slot seems to be the kiss of death for so many shows and I quite enjoy this one. As always, it's super easy to catch up <a href="http://www.cwtv.com/cw-video/the-carrie-diaries/win-some-lose-some/?play=f52d2bca-c343-42a0-9593-31baa1d9b51a">online</a> too. This show is pretty much exactly what I thought NYC would be like. That is until I actually lived there for a summer and it was pretty much the most unglamorous thing ever. I much prefer The Carrie Diaries version of NYC then the actual sweaty, expensive and grimy real life version. The Carrie Diaries is your perfect saucy high school soap opera. And this particular episode was a great start to the new season!<br />

Bluebell took a poll about Zoe's new beau Joel... and it's not looking good! Only 13% of the townsfolk think Zoe and Joel belong together. So Zoe sets out to make Joel popular ASAP. (Can I tell you how much I love Zoe and Lavon as besties?) A good plan, except remember how long it took for the town to warm up to Zoe? And Zoe is anything but patient. So she concocts a plan to get the town's approval through the vote of leadership, also known as the town's Pastor. Do you want really impresses me? How Zoe can make anything into such a disaster, but she always looks good while doing it and it works out in the end? Umm, why doesn't this happen to me? Is it because I need to concoct more crazy plans? Random side note, but something to consider for us all to consider. Do we make enough crazy plans?</div>

Who doesn't love a Halloween-themed episode of a favorite TV show? Add in some costumes, Rachel Bilson, cute boys and Southern charm and we have Hart of Dixie - Halloween style! I absolutely loved Zoe's Cleopatra costume. I think we should all channel a little Cleopatra in our daily lives. It's all about the eyes ladies! So don't forget your modern day kohl, i.e. eyeliner. The darker, the better. Oh, and this news producer that Lemon hooked up with? GORGEOUS. I wonder if he'll be around for a few episodes or not? I guess we'll find out next week!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well I hope you had a super fun Halloween. And if you want to catch up on the latest episode of Hart of Dixie, you can watch <a href="http://www.cwtv.com/cw-video/hart-of-dixie/help-me-make-it-through-the-night/?play=51fc4c8e-2021-4f94-9f2a-a085f5566569">here</a>. XOXO honeybees. </div>

Here's a peek at my super simple Halloween costume, a little monster! I just purchased the furry purple monster kit - headband and fuzzy fingerless gloves included. I already had the blue wig. Add some Halloween fake eyelashes and presto - Halloween costume. </div>

We'll be seeing <a href="http://www.kdramatherapy.com/">Shania Twain</a>, a hypnotist and who knows who else in Sin City.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
But first things first, what to pack on a Vegas trip.<br />
<br />
Step One. Check the weather. This is essential for including the right items in the luggage. Currently, the forecast is high 70s to high 40s. Quite a range, so we'll be sure to pack layers!<br />
<br />
Step Two. Consider events. I'm thinking my new leopard dress for Shania Twain. This just seems obvious. Shania. Leopard. Perfection. The hypnotist show is a bit more of a toss-up. But I do have a black fringe top from Forever 21 that is waiting to make it's debut...<br />
<br />
Step Three. Consider comfort. I will definitely be packing some comfort shoes for all that Vegas walking. There is no need to wear heels all day ladies! Think about those toes. Oh, and don't forget a comfy outfit for the airplane. But keep it cute, you never know who you might meet on the airplane. (At least we can hope)<br />
<br />
Step Four. Accessorize. Don't forget to pack coordinating goodies - earrings, rings, etc.<br />
<br />
Step Five. The day you leave, toss in the other essentials you can't pack until you are set to take off - toothpaste, face wash, etc.<br />
<br />
OoO, I cannot wait for my Vegas trip. I had a bit of disappointment this last weekend and a Vegas trip should be just the thing to cheer me up! That and a bit of sun.

Zoe starts diagnosing everyone, especially her boyfriend Joel since she isn't working. So they hatch a plan to get Zoe back to work. Of course it's comical and doesn't go quite as planned in true Zoe fashion. Meanwhile, Lavon's niece is after George Tucker (major time). And George Tucker gets stuck (literally) and Zoe has to help him out. Lemon rebelled and had to pay her dues to the Belles. Lavon gets Brick's help to try to woo a baseball team to Bluebell instead of a neighboring town. The lady making the call about the baseball team knew Brick in college and has quite the crush on the local doctor. This episode packed in a lot of funny situations! It's nice to take a break in Bluebell and see how Zoe is settling back into life in Bluebell.</div>

You still have some time left before Halloween, if you're local and want to take a trip to the pumpkin patch. They have animals, lots of activities for kids and kettle corn! You have to pay a small fee to get in ($5). And there are lots of photo-ops (as you can see above).<br />

Gravy time! <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://warrendoesablog.blogspot.com/">Warren</a> and I love a good brunch spot. The latest place we dined was Gravy in Portland, OR. <span itemprop="postalCode">Come prepared to wait! But I'm happy to report that it was worth the wait (about an hour). There is a cute little Stash Tea shop across the street from the restaurant. My recommendation? Put your name on the list (you have to go into the restaurant and literally write your name on the list yourself) and then pop across the street for some tea and a place to hang out while you wait for your table. </span></div>

<span itemprop="postalCode">I had the Fried Chicken & Eggs with the house potatoes. The fried chicken comes with veggie gravy. I'm not even sure I've ever had veggie gravy before, but it was AMAZING. The house potatoes were pretty good, although they did have a weird spice. They do have egg whites as an option (I've always preferred egg whites), but I would pass on it next time because there was a couple of dollars up charge for egg whites. Plus, I didn't even eat my expensive egg whites because the chicken was so delicious I could not stop eating it. The breading was crispy and scrumptious and the chicken was high-quality and tender. Take away? Go for the gravy and carnivore items!</span></div>

What's better than a fake relationship between Lemon and Wade? HAHA. Not much. It's pretty hilarious to see Lemon and Wade faking it. And of course, it definitely gets under Zoe's skin, which Wade is only too happy to see. (Since he loves Zoe, but there is the whole cheating on her thing last season, which I want to forget, but it's difficult to do completely.) This makes things complicated when Lemon finally meets an eligible bachelor. (You know the whole fake relationship with Wade thing?)</div>
