I was feeling much better today, so Sam and I took advantage of the sunny, crisp weather and headed to 23rd st in Portland. We actually were headed to the zoo, but there was no parking for miles, so that idea was abandoned. One of these days we'll find parking there...
It was nice to see most of the shop spaces full, last october when we went there many were vacant. We stopped first at Urban Outfitters, where Sam found a new cardigan and pair of pants, and I got the most adorable bow hooks ever. They're on sale for $2.99! I should have bought ten of them. Silly me.
I also went to Pop-up Shoppe where that had some fantastic 50s skirts, but they were either too big or small. Silly skirts.
We had lunch at Pizzicato, where I had the spiciest pizza ever. I think it was called "Pepper Madness". I guess that should have been my clue.
Last but not least we stopped at Alotto Gelato for pumpkin gelato! I really need a pint of that stuff. Or perhaps that wouldn't be such a good idea, it would be gone within minutes....

I've heard from general conversation about your blog, and I have to say, its definitely being saved into my favourites on my laptop!
Great post, pumpkin gelato sounds delicious!
On a previous post, you said you loved talking to young people about vintage, I'm only fourteen, yet I'm always at portabello market in London, trying to find a treasure! If you ever pop over the pond, comment me and I'll definitely recommend the brilliant places to go!

Pumpkin gelato? ORGH. That sounds incredible, wish they did more pumpkin flavoured things over here in the UK.

This is an outstanding blog. The images are stunning and take me back to my favorite century. I look forward to following you.
I love 23rd street! 21st has some awesome places as well. If you like delicious cheap drinks check out Bartini.
Oh, the bird applique adds a really cute vintage feel to your jacket! How I wish I could be there to enjoy some of that delicious looking pumpkin gelato. Really missed that stuff.

Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better! :) Your outfit is so darling; I really love the brooch!
Pumpkin gelato?! Yum! I thought the rum raisin gelato that I had in Key Largo (with real rum ;) was tops, but pumpkin could easily be even better!

That is an adorable bird brooch! I have commented on your blog a few times, and i absolutely love it, and i just wanted to let you know that my twin sister has started her own blog here on the blogspot thingy (is it called a network?) Anywho, she's a writer, and she's trying to get out there, and I'm sure she'd appreciate it if you checked her out and told people you might think would be interested. Sorry for the super long comment! http://reddirtandbluesky.blogspot.com/
