Meet Haylie

So, I ran into this girl on Main St. and I thought she had the coolest outfit. I mean, c'mon, a yellow pillbox hat?! I ran after her and asked if I could take her picture. She was very obliging. I just might be the next Sartorialist. And she might just be the next Jackie O.

Weekend Finds

Here is the loot from the past weekend's treasure hunt. The groovy plate, clear horse head bookends, and metal rooster letter organizer are all available for sale at etsy.com/shop/LaraCollins. I decided to keep the tin canister for myself. It's perfect for holding my matcha green tea.

VW Rally


This last Sunday I went with my two friends, Ali and Hope, to the Volks Wagon Rally in town. I would love to own a Volks Wagon bus someday. I can see myself cruising the countryside with the windows down and my dog Scout in the passenger seat. Sadly, my camera battery died as soon as I got there, but I came away with a couple cool pictures.

Treasures

Here are some treasures I found this weekend. Treasure hunting is one of my favorite things to do. I consider myself a genuine scavenger. These items can be purchased at enidlifestyle.com.

Hokahay Days

Welcome to Hokahay Days. I know I know, you are wondering what the hell Hokahay means. Well, let me tell you my friends...

It all started one summer in high school, my dad and I went on a backbacking/rock climbing trip in California. Our guide, Dave, taught us the word, Hokahay, which he said was an America Indian word meaning "to suck the marrow out of life." My first thought was gross! but, once I put bone marrow out of my mind, I found an idea that portrays richness and fullness and deepness; a way of life that takes risks and is full of experiences. Since then it has served as a motto for my dad and me. My regret, though, is that I have not lived out this concept. My desire is that this blog serves as a journal/record of my life, starting at this pivotal point that jump starts a journey to discover what it means to truly live, what it means to know myself, and to find what it is that "makes me tick", as a good friend put it.
