June 2012

Never in a million years did I think I'd get to say these words:  I ran a half marathon last weekend!!!  I've never been a runner or athlete, so this was a real challenge.  Woo hoo!  I'm so glad I did it, AND that it's over!  :)

I had such a difficult time finding tall running pants...my waist-to-bum ration is pretty dramatic and most running pants are too loose in the waist.  I tried multiple brands - Nike, adidas, lululemon - and couldn't find a style that stayed around my waist for more than a few blocks.  UNTIL I found the lucy Perfect Core Pant!!  They're high-waisted, have a 36" inseam, and have a Spanx-like effect on the bits I'd prefer to hide.  I can't recommend them enough.  Seriously.  I want to sing it from the rooftops.

Next I want to try the Elle Mayers Living it Up Tall Pant...I'm waiting for the 36" inseams to be restocked in my size.  I can't wait to support a clothing line for tall women!  What's your go-to fitness pant?

A couple of weeks ago Scott and I had our engagement shoot with Jessica Ho of Jessica May Photography.  It was a fantastic day!  Here are a couple of my favorites:

Engagement shoot Ballard Market

I'm wearing my Height Goddess skinny jeans, a normal-sized silk shirt from JCrew (check out that sleeve length!), and my favorite gold flats. 

Engagement shoot Discovery Park

And I had to feature my tall Banana Republic trench...(P.S.  I'm holding a 5-foot heart kite.  It looks amazing when it flies, but the wind wasn't really cooperating that day!).

I love this one the best:
