So it's been months and I'm a failure at this. I have to start making it a priority. How many times do you have to do something for it to become a habit? Apparently I haven't done this enough.
A few weeks ago we went to one of my all time favorite Portland events, Boutiques Unleashed. It combines a number of things I enjoy and am passionate about: animals, clothes, food and drink. Boutiques Unleashed benefits the Dove Lewis Animal Hospital which is an amazing place and this event specifically helps them sponsor sessions for those who have lost a pet. If you have a pet, you understand this need, if you don't have a pet well I'm not completely sure how we're friends.
Anyway the event features food, drink, a silent auction and a fashion show featuring clothes from local boutiques for both people and animals. It is always fun to watch and I especially like it because one of my favorite stores is always involved, Say Say Boutique. I love that store and everyone who works there. They are awesome. Go there, buy things, tell them I sent you.
Last year I got to meet and talk to Seth Aaron Henderson, winner of Project Runway. He was back this year and just as friendly which is awesome. This year was also a plus because Scott and I got to hang out with the Say Say Crew to watch the show and it was a great time. Plus, I won a month's plus supply of Pop Chips which are one of my favorite snacks. What you haven't tried Pop Chips? Ummm go to the store right now and buy some. They are life changing.
In short, Boutiques Unleashed 2011 was one of the highlights of my year thus far and has ensured I will return next year. If you live in the Portland area, you should go next year it's a ton of fun. Scott and I will definitely be there.
