I want to tell you about a magical place that exists in Portland, Oregon on Clinton Street. Xtabay Vintage Clothing Boutique is pure, vintage heaven. The fabulous owner, Liz Gross, opened the shop in 2001 and it has been the place to go for vintage dresses, shoes, hats and handbags ever since. They recently opened a bridal salon upstairs which is where I found my wedding dress! But, more on the bridal salon later, for now lets focus on the vintage boutique. There are treasures to behold in every part of the shop… If you are a regular follower of my blog, then you know that I couldn’t leave without trying on a few pieces. I started with the hats.

On Sunday, I got to be a bride. No, I didn’t get married, but I got to be a model for Rocked, a Portland Bridal Event hosted by Portland Bride & Groom and The Nines. I wore a gorgeous 1950′s silk embroidered taffeta wedding gown with cinched waist, cascading train and boat neckline from Xtabay Bridal Salon, the same salon where I found my dress. I felt incredibly regal. The event took place on the 6th floor of the hotel. It was unbelievably gorgeous with views of the Courthouse and Pioneer Courthouse Square. Special thanks to Cory for being photographer/dress carrier for the day! I wouldn’t have made it through the day without you!

I met Kara (hair stylist/colorist extraordinaire) at a wedding I was photographing and she asked me if I would be willing to take some photographs of her work. She recently started working at a new salon and she, along with fellow stylist Hollie Trimble, wanted to organize a photo shoot to show off their mad skills. The models (Rachel and indie songstress Ezza Rose) were so sweet and BEYOND gorgeous, especially with their freshly colored/cut/styled locks. I shared an instax sneak peek awhile back and realized this past weekend I had never actually blogged the session and knew that I had to share it with all of you today.
