Portland Adventures and Saying Yes to the Dress!

SATURDAY A FRIEND AND I WENT TO PORTLAND, and we had a blast as one would naturally expect from a city like Portland. We spent hours shopping, eating, and walking around Hawthorne street. I recorded bits and pieces of our adventure for a video which will be provided below in case you don't want to take my word for it.

For Breakfast/Lunch we went to a quaint little restaurant/cafe called Cup and Saucer. It was probably the best thing ever. I got blueberries and vegan sausage as is tradition when I go almost anywhere in Portland.

Next stop was a record store which was a brief visit. I'm currently on the look out for the Alabama Shakes newest album sound and color. I didn't even see Boys and Girls there. I was so dissapointed. It was still a cool place however. I forgot to take pictures but they sold record players (cute/spiffy looking ones I might add) for around ninety-nine dollars. If you're into that.

Next major stop was Red Light. A vintage store that was beyond wicked. It was there, in that magical heavenly place, we found the dress of every girls dreams. It was a white tea length gown that looked as though it could be fresh off the set of "Funny Face." It was perfect. And not a penny more than 25 dollars. I couldn't believe our luck. So of course we bought it, and now we have Elaine's dress for Cinder-hella! If that doesn't make you the least bit excited I don't know what will.

I found Birdie's (Fairy Godmother) dress as well. I don't have pictures to share at the moment but keep your eyes peeled for it's release. I'd say the dress is right up there on the scale of spectacular-ness when it comes to awesome costume to pieces for this show.

    1. I'm going to share it on my next post! I'll tag you in it or something so you can see it. It's SO cute, I can't even believe it. Also if you ever happen to find yourself in Portland, you've gotta go to Red Light. It is THE place to be. Used clothing stores are one of Portland's many specialties!
