I took these photos from a rest area along the I-5 as I was entering back into California. It started snowing in Southern Oregon as I was driving down to Oakland on Sunday, so what would have been a 9-hour drive turned into 13 hours.

I’ve had this oversized camel sweater coat for over a year and finally wore it for the first time last week. I would often shy away from wearing the piece because I thought it made me look frumpy. However, I finally realized that I just needed to play around with the proportions of my outfit in order to make it work. In this outfit, I wore a tight turtleneck top and fitted high waisted jeans in order to balance out the loose and oversize fit of this sweater coat. You can also add a belt around the waist to give this piece a bit more shape. I’m so glad that I finally figured out how to wear this coat because it is extremely warm and comfortable, and I really love the warm coffee shade.
Today I’m sharing with you a few photos from when I visited the Portland Night Market earlier this month. As I’ve mentioned before, I haven’t had as much time as I would like to explore and experience what Portland has to offer, so I was stoked when my friend Candace asked me to join her for this event. This was the first time this night market was held in Portland, but I hope it becomes a recurring event because it was a great way to spend a Saturday evening. I had tons of fun window shopping through all the booths, which included food, drinks, vintage clothing, accessories(check out the oversized hat modeled by Candace), and handmade gifts. Despite all the temptations surrounding me, I resisted the urge to buy a bunch of presents for myself, but I couldn’t leave the event without a delicious latte from Heart Roasters and a box of handmade truffles. After all, there’s nothing wrong with treating yourself every once in a while, right?
I have a really busy two weeks ahead of me, but I hope I can do a bit more of exploring before having to drive back down to LA. If you’re interested to see what I’m up to in real time, you can always follow me on Instagram.
