With winter fading and a rare sunny day irresistibly beckoning, my friend Nick and I ventured out to vintage clothing destination Hawthorne Street in Portland, browsing various vintage shops, sipping mochas, chatting about school, and admiring everything from inspiring outfits to cute dogs out for walks with their owners. The sun-filled day inspired me to throw some color into my wardrobe, so I wore this great multi-colored vintage button down that I picked up at one of the many vintage stores along Haight Street in San Francisco.
I could not resist paring it with my Steve Madden leather jacket, which I purchased at Nordstrom. What makes this jacket special is the simple, basic design that creates a subtle feminine quality. I was excited to rock my chunky Dolce Vita ankle boots, which are simple but have a bit of an edge with their buckle detail. I often pair the jacket and boots together; it makes an outfit classy and simultaneously edgy.

Bookworm Alert
For the bibliophile whose summer reading list is as long as the Tour de France route, there's an online book haven to explore. Powell's Books, a mini-chain of stores selling used and new books in Portland, Oregon, has a wonderful website for those who can't make it all the way to the Pacific Northwest to check out their stock firsthand. Their selection of used books is both expansive and affordable (my picks: Stephen King's On Writing and Joseph O'Neill's Netherland), and with sections like 'Staff Picks' and 'Review-a-Day' it's easy to find anything from light beach reading to something you can seriously sink your teeth into. The Powell's Blog is also a must-read; it features book reviews, author interviews, first paragraph previews of new novels, and guest bloggers like former Gawker editor Emily Gould and the man behind BikeSnobNYC. Bookworms, take note!
