Portland Bound

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

When we received the invite to headline “the most sustainable fashion show on the planet” we said “heck yah!” Just pack up the clothes, cameras, crew, and kid and we’re off to Portland…simple as that. Not one’s to let the rain get us down, we stayed at the recently opened Ace Hotel and had a blast; cruising around town, sipping amazing Stumptown Coffee, sifting through miles of books at Powell’s, and visiting two of our most favorite boutiques - Tumbleweed and Aubergine, which in our humble opinion also happen to be two of the best in the west.

The girls get ready to go shopping but Hazel was mad because she wanted ice cream first.

The Ace Hotel lobby is the place to “catch a vibe.”

Oh, the funny glasses.

Hazel had a blast. Met this cute little red headed boy in the lobby of
the Ace and they played together all morning.

The girls make a friend.

The fashion show was held at the Portland Shipyard.

The evening’s talent.

Tending to last minute details.
