My Whirlwind Month

October 9, 2014

Remember when I said that I’ve been busy this past month? Well, I thought I’d share what I’ve been up to. The end of September was Fashion Week in Seattle and Bellevue. I have a new appreciation for those that are able to attend multiple fashion shows with outfit changes in one day AND hold a job. Just one show a day plus work is enough for me!

And sorry (or not sorry for those who love the long ones) this week is just full of lots of my words and photos! I’ve split it into sections by events so you can skim to the ones of interest. ;)

Rigby Reviews I and Love and You

September 30, 2014

If you like cute pictures of Rigby, well, this is your post. Rigby’s hanging out on the blog today to tell you all about his experiences with I and love and you raw dog food, in his own words. Take it away, little man!

Arroooo mommy’s blog humans! I’m back to tell you about this funky fresh food that mom’s been feeding me lately. I say funky, because mom has to do all this weird stuff in the sink with it before she gives it to me. I don’t understand why I can’t just eat it straight out of the bag, but I digress. I am just a dog. A really cute one, apparently. Humom tells me all the time that someone said I was cute on Twitter or Instagram. Thanks blog humans, I’m sure you’re cute too!

One Year Ago Today…

September 5, 2014

I was starting a blog. I named it Hello Rigby and I had no idea what I was doing, but I was proud of myself for finally deciding on a name and not hating it a day later. I told myself to stick to it and see what happens, so I did.

I used my first post to introduce myself to the world (AKA no one, because it was months before anyone actually really read my blog… remember when I said I had no idea what I was doing?)

So in honor of one year of blogging, I’m going to reintroduce myself.

Hi! I’m Jenn. I’m a 25 year old Seattleite, who is apparently crazy enough to name my blog after my dog, Rigby. Rigby is an almost-two-year-old Shiba Inu. He’s named after The Beatles song, “Eleanor Rigby,” in case you’re curious. Continue reading →

5 Things Friday + Lovely Letters

August 29, 2014

Happy Friday! I’m so excited to have today off to make a super long weekend. Yay! We very rarely get additional days off at my work, so I’m pretty pumped to get a freebie like this, especially when we already have a holiday coming up. Anyways, I thought I’d share 5 things I’ve been digging this week to start off the weekend.

1 / Lovely Letters

Last month I signed up to be part of a pen pal swap called Lovely Letters on Esther & Jacob! I got paired with Katrina, who blogs on a super cute food blog called Table For Two, Please. Here’s what she sent me:

Thrifty Thursday: Happy Pants

August 28, 2014

These pants may not be the most flattering. Some may even think they’re crazy. But more importantly, I’ve deemed them the Happy Pants, because they’re bright, colorful, and slouchy-comfy-coziness makes me smile.

With styling, sometimes I think people get really hung up over what is the most figure-flattering. I think I get caught in that trap too – but let’s be real, sometimes I want to wear something that feels good, not looks good. Not to say I don’t look good, or that I do; I think this is a fun outfit. I can chase my dog around the park and not worry about breaking an ankle. But it’s not traditionally what one may call chic, fashion-forward, or ground breaking. And that’s okay. Some days this is what I need. Continue reading →
