Labor Day Hike and Modcloth Giveaway Winner

This labor day weekend was a good end to summer. Yesterday we went on a hike to Lake 22 not to far away from my house. It was such a good hike filled with huge conifers, old growth forests, gorgeous views and a lake at the end of it on top of a mountain. We sat there on the edge of it as the sun went behind the cliffs and ate our snacks that we had brought. I havent been on a lot of hikes, in fact I could probably count them on one hand. But lately that is all I have been wanting to do. Getting out in the middle of a forest and away from the hustle and bustle of everything else sounds like the greatest thing right now. Hopefully many more fall hikes happen this season.

And the winner to my Modcloth Giveaway is Naama A. The winner has been notified but if they dont respond within 48 hours another winner will be chosen. Congratulations!

It would be the perfect time to sponsor Pretty Lovely. You can buy an ad on my advertise page or shoot me an email (theprettylovelyblog@gmail.com) and we can discuss other ways to work together! I would love to support small businesses and other blogs.

In other news, I am in the process of opening an etsy shop! I am so excited about this and will share more about this later.

Better Late than Never

I made this dress last summer but this is actually the very first time I have worn it. When I was making it, I had a hard time getting the hem how I wanted it. The same length all the around. It wasn't working out, this dress was just not cooperating with me. At the time. So I stuck it in my closet and never tried it on days, weeks or months later. I had it set in my mind that this dress wasn't going to work out. Why I didn't get rid of it, I don't know. I'm glad I didn't because after trying it on a couple of days ago I didn't find anything wrong with it. I actually liked the uneven hem. It kind of has a subtle high low affect to it. Moral of the story, if you don't like something, maybe wait a week or two and then try it on again, not 1 year. I could have been wearing this dress a lot sooner.

Dont forget to enter my Modcloth Giveaway! Friday is the last day!

Just do it

Last week, we saw Sister Act on Broadway in Seattle. I love excuses to dress up a little more than normal. And for me that meant that I got to wear my most favorite shoes from Seychelles. I always feel like I cant wear these shoes on a normal basis. I feel overdressed, but I wish that weren't the case. I should just wear them. I read a post by Kaylee of Kaylee Daily recently and it describes this situation so well. If I'm not going to wear these shoes now, then when? I hope you guys will be seeing these shoes more often, especially with the upcoming fall season. My favorite!

Little Oak Tree

Can we just take a minute to admire this oak tree? It has got the most perfect shape! Discovering that this tree was only a minute away from my house in the back portions of a park made me even more excited for fall and taking outfit pictures. This oak is going to look gorgeous with red, orange and yellow leaves! You guys have to remind that this tree is there and not to let fall go by without me documenting its beauty in photographs.

Also, you guys still have ONE week to enter my Modcloth Giveaway!
