The highlights of this weekend were:
Having a lovely brunch hosted by my beautiful friend Dana.
Here she is with her hubby John.
Aren’t they cute?
A group of us get together for a married women’s Bible study at least once a month. We read different books about marriage and talk through our joys and challenges in marriage. All of the girls had a brunch of Dana’s delicious waffles along with the toppings each of us brought. My topping of choice is a blueberry ginger compote Craig came up with:
blueberries + cinnamon + sugar + finely chopper fresh ginger
1.Mix all of the ingredients in a pot and heat it up on the stove.
2.Pour it over your waffles.
3.Scarf.
Sadly I didn’t take photos of these delectable waffles. I was too busy focusing on instruction #3 :).
After brunch I went to the Portland Nursery’s Annual Apple Tasting Event with my mom and stocked up on more apples than I could possibly eat. My favorites were the Liberty apples.
BUT….
My favorite part of this weekend was attending my very first Portland Fashion Week with Lisa Warninger – photographer and Portland street style blogger of Urban Weeds. I just started an internship with her a couple of weeks ago and getting to be press at Portland Fashion Week is just one of the “perks” :).
Saturday night was all Project Runway designers:

Here’s what I wore:

Sunday night I saw:
Here’s what I wore:
(not sure why it’s so blurry :(…)
{dress: F21
belt wrap: Pendleton scrap fabric
belt: Ralph Lauren
boots: gift from my brother
feather earrings: Bueno Bueno}
I wasn’t quite sure about the wrap I whipped up. I was kinda just playing with the fabric and this is what I ended up with. It was unique anyway and I wanted to represent Pendleton a bit because I was super excited about their show. Sadly it was a bit disappointing. Very catalog :(. The first piece was my favorite though and I actually got a decent photo since I was sitting in the front row on this night.
My favorite show was Amelia Toro’s. It was full of 70’s inspired silhouettes, but still felt very now and fresh. I loved that all of the models wore black heels with black ankle socks – so cute! The whole show was just a breath of fresh air and there were quite a few looks that I’d like to have in my own closet :). I was too busy oohing and aaaahing to take any photos though. Once some photos are posted online, I’ll make sure to add them.
How was your weekend?

Front row?!?! Awesome. Looks like a lot of fun. I’m very jealous of your apple tasting. I was stuck inside all stinkin’ weekend doing homework. I think my mind has turned to mush.
That must have been so fun! I love Project Runway and would love to see an actual fashion show. You look great in your pics!
I will most definitely have to try that waffle topping recipe this weekend…and for sure, I’m awaiting great recipes from you based on the oodles of apples you amassed! 🙂
I really like both outfits and I love how you wrapped the extra fabric around you and then threw a belt over it.
Seeing these outfits makes me want to make a lunch trip over to F21. I need new clothes.
Hope you enjoyed your weekend and can’t wait to hear about the giveaway.

I as well got to go to the Portland Fashion Week for the first time this year. It was SO fun!!
I love those gray heels you wore to Portland Fashion Week! And all of your outfits, actually. It’s fun when smaller cities host their own tributes to fashion. I really enjoyed attending some of the events in Boston.
you are great!!! i love your style 🙂
