Portland State, here she comes!


First day of school at PSU. My little cookie is all grown up!!!

Inspired by Leanimal.

Well, I've done it! I created this jacket from scratch with no real pattern, and then I WORE it! (since you have to wear the things that get posted here.) I wore it to a little show, the fossil fools, at a pizza place, and I actually got some compliments on it from people whose fashion I admire. I am pretty proud ( pretty and proud) This is made out of thick jersey, and it was inspired by Leanne, season 5 of Project Runway. I had a little bit of a rough time with sewing the button hole, but, as I sewed it very inconspicuously, it is no matter. The button and hole are hidden and cannot be seen whether the jacket is open or closed. Thanks mom for the over-the-phone help!

O Canada!

Jamal got this for me on her mission (thanks sister), I recently fell in love with it all over again. My roommate Shaun said it captures my personality perfectly, which I guess is a compliment. Plus, it makes my eyes "pop". The only thing is, it has style and class, so it must have been made in America. That's right, I went there again.
By the way, it is beard season and they are always in style.

mad hatter

okay, i'll admit it. my first post in ages, fashionably sister Harrison? (see below) made me miss blogging, and so, maybe twenty minutes later, i'm finally back. this post is a reminder that you can be fashionable doing any activity. and the best activity, as everyone knows, is biking. preferably with some sort of fixed hub, but any old hub will do. now, to the photos!















you're probably saying, cool renée, what an awesome looking hat. but i know your thinking, what is she wearing. hold your horses, because i sewed this hat! i know, totally reversible, brim and all.

Don't worry nikki, i bought a helmet too. and i wear it.


Fashionably sister Harrison?

you thought it was impossible, i thought it was impossible. but somehow, possible is the only thing that these clothes spell out.


so look out mtc, because harrisons have a hard time controlling their sexy. thats one way to encourage conversion.

and yes, that is an Indonesian Book of Mormon.
