A Rainy Weekend Away

Once February hits and you live in rainy Seattle, it is nice to get a change of scenery. This past weekend, I took a road trip to Portland with a few of my close friends. Constantly getting editorial exposure for their great food, fun shops and unique spaces. We had the opportunity to stay at The Nines hotel which has a chic boutique look.

With patterning floors of Tiffany blue and lavender paired with taupe color and plenty brocade fabrics, the style was right up my alley.

After shopping till we literally almost dropped (with exhaustion), it was time to eat - and the food was to die for. My favorite was this little place in the Pearl District called isabel. Can you say Coconut French Toast? The best brunch I have had in a long time.

All in all, a wonderful weekend away and a great time with close friends. To anyone Seattleite contemplating, take the drive and spend a weekend in the Rose City.
