I arrived in Seattle yesterday morning and spent the day with my family. I have been really nervous about coming back because I don’t remember being in this house without Barney…
Barnaby Francis Cameron – 2009-2015
Hey everyone. So, to dive right in, yesterday was a very tough day. I don’t really share that much about my private life on the blog, but for those of you that have been following me since the beginning (2008) or have seen my photos on social media, you know that my family and I had a dog named Barney. He was the love of our lives and we are struggling to come to terms with what has just happened. If you’d like, you can read on…

Over the Weekend: Seattle Edition
Flying vibes – stripes and oversized sunnies, always.
On Friday, I flew home to Seattle for a little family time, which was just what I needed. As much as I love New York, sometimes I just need to be on my other coast to feel grounded and renewed.
I have some fun videos coming up this week and will have even more outfit posts and videos to share the following week after Memorial Day weekend, but for now, here are a few photos from my phone over the past few days. xo
Even though this photo is a little grainy, (I really need the iPhone 6!) isn’t this view incredible! This was taken about 20 minutes (flying time) away from landing in Seattle. Aren’t those mountains breathtaking?!
My beloved Barney, and my Dad’s morning latte that he makes me, complete with a Barney foam face.
I have really been loving my new hair color, (thanks to Francesca at Arrojo) especially when it’s curly. It makes me so excited for beachy hair and summer.
My amazing Dad at the beach with me yesterday, helping me taking photos for the blog, and videos for YouTube. Dad, yare the best ever.
My sweet friend Jenna, who I have known since I was five, came over on Saturday and brought paint, a brush and paper so that I could make a Barney paw print to frame for my apartment. Such a sweet and genius idea.
Barney “hiding” in the plants outside in our backyard. He is such a funny pup.

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! xo

Woodland Park with Barney!
Look at that single piece of drool!
Barney LOVES his pretty suede collar from Yark. His neck is so big that most collars don’t fit him, but this one is perfect!

With only a week left in Seattle, I have been trying to fit in as many snuggles and walks with Barney as possible. Yesterday, my Dad and I took him to Woodland Park to run round a bit and burn off some energy. It’s amazing to watch him fly by you at record speed, all the while hoping he won’t barrel into you at the same time. But luckily his depth perception and agility never fails and he whizzes past like a lightening bolt just missing you by mere inches! I’m going to miss him so much after I leave. :/
But on a lighter note, I still have four full days with him, my family and friends, and I intend on taking full advantage of my time left!

Barney’s collar and leash were a sweet gift from Yark! xo
Out and About
In the Backyard with Barney
Just a little hello from my backyard in Seattle. My Dad snapped these photos of me and Barney last night while we enjoyed the warm weather and some appetizers before dinner. Being here feels so good and spending time with this handsome guy is just the best. He loves to be touched, so whether it’s your feet resting on his back, a big neck hug or him backing up into and leaning his 145-pound body against your legs, it doesn’t matter, if he is being touched in some capacity, he’s all about it. My little cuddle bug, I love him so much. Anyway, I hope you all had a productive Monday and here’s to a great rest of the week! xo

P.S. I thought it would be funny to share what he is doing right this minute. He actually just shifted his body to get even close to me. What a sweet boy.

Hello, hello! How is it Monday again already? The past five days flew by way too quickly, but I’m so happy I was able to jet home to Seattle for a quick visit to host a very fun event with Nordstrom and Top Shop (you can see some photos from the event, here), and of course see my friends, family and the apple of my eye, Barney. :) He is currently snoring away as I type.
Yesterday we took him to Woodland Park and let him run around to burn off some energy. He is the funniest of pups – I love watching him play, explore and smell everything in sight. Seattle is absolutely beautiful right now and the colors of the leaves (I’m seriously in awe) are breathtaking. Afterward, I met up with my best friend to walk Greenlake (don’t worry, I changed my shoes) and I literally made her stop every five minutes so I could photograph the trees and leaves surrounding us. The colors are just too good. Fall is my favorite and it never gets old. I just try to soak it all in and savor these perfect autumn days before the season is gone, once again.
I hope you have an easy week ahead of you, and I’ll see you tomorrow! xo
P.S. Can you find Barney?

I thought it would be fun to switch things up a bit and share a few photos that my Dad took before dinner last night. We had my Grandmother over for dinner and my Dad grilled chicken and steak for tacos with guacamole. When the weather is this perfect, al fresco dining in the backyard becomes a fairly typical evening for my family.
I love Barney’s furrowed brow – this expression usually occurs when food is around because he is positive he is going to get a bite of whatever is being made at the time. He remains keen and alert until finally he gives up and lays back down with a loud, defeated sigh.
My Mom’s little touches here and there (we both love ladybugs and angels), making the overall feel of the backyard even more special.
Typical Barney position.
Jewelry details: My very special turquoise ring from Santa Fe – a Birthday gift from my parents, and my new favorite “Cancer Constellation Cuff” (by Julie Nolan) – a recent Birthday gift from my best friend.

Didn’t notice how off my hair was until it was too late. But hey, messy hair, don’t care!
Hope your Tuesday is a happy one. xo
