Here’s our response to making Travel + Leisure Magazine’s worst dressed list. Check out our segment on WCSH6. You’re a stylin’ city Portland - we love you.
I stopped by Michelle Estell Jewelry’s table on a sunny Saturday morning to do some shopping. She’s well-known around town for her personal style and her gorgeous handcrafted pieces. Her delicate rings are my favorite but that whale necklace has my name written all over it. Visit her shop online here, on Exchange Street or at Portland Flea-for-All.

I can’t stop chuckling over the fact that “I’ll Have Another” was the horse that won the Kentucky Derby—on Cinco de Mayo no less. Speaking of having another, that is my excuse for only capturing one lady in her derby day finery on Saturday. I was too busy drinking margaritas.
Apparently Travel + Leisure has been reading our blog. I like to think we’ve been chronicling the “hipster” trend (though I seriously hate the term) since 2010. You’re welcome. Read the article that voted us #5 in America’s Best Cities for Hipsters.

I did not see any large dogs or horses around, but when I looked to my left, there was quite a big surprise in the parking lot next to me.
