My apologies for leaving the blog unattended. The excuse: Change. Change in the form of employment, daily routine and 2 freelance gigs. We can probably also chalk it up to a change in the weather and a change in the fashion cycle. Change is really the only form of consistency. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">Between embarking on a new career path, writing the shopping guide for this year's <a href="http://www.wweek.com/portland/finder" target="_blank">Finder Magazine</a> and illustrating a children's book cover, I have been emotionally and physically drained. I was struggling to find beauty and inspiration regarding style and wardrobe. I dress for an office now. Which has proven to be difficult in this recent heat. The focus has been on the daily agenda, product, conservation. Not ideas to take lightly but ideas that require a new logistical creative approach.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">Here in lies the challenge. Facing an alarm clock that rings at an uncivilized hour is slowly becoming less cumbersome. Social demands and personal preferences are beginning to balance out. Street fashion's savvy-ness continues to ebb and flow. I am into slacks right now and sensible shoes. I love blouses and have fully embraced all that a silk scarf can do for an ensemble. The focus has switched from wanting a variety of looks to defining my own look. What is worn is less important than how it is worn. Class. Let me speak before my garments. I want refined touches and comfort in my own skin. I want fit and silhouette. Minimal patterns and basic color palettes. Feminine without being girly. Basic without being boring. Noteworthy without being famous. The advancement of style and the recline of fashion. And more sorting to come. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00050554657189058953noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811010792797157489.post-37357352769401825552012-06-05T22:07:00.001-07:002012-06-05T22:07:54.692-07:00Donut Shop and Back Alley<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I apologize for not having time to update. The excuse: working two jobs for a while and freelancing two large assignments. The bright side: I am officially down to one, relatively full time position and just one more freelance piece to tackle. I am feeling rather sleep deprived and a bit overrun by the recent schedule shift and the recent output of a couple of magazine features totally somewhere just shy of 8,000 words. But more on that in these months to come. The rolodex is finally up to speed and I have recently visited somewhere over 150 retail locations throughout this city. Let's just say, I spent a little too much time on <a href="http://trimet.org/" target="_blank">TriMet</a>. Anyhow, as the craziness of the last few weeks is receding I wanted to share with you my most recent organizational feet...<br />
<br />

And the new-to-me recent acquisitions for my feet. Lovely vintage <a href="http://www.grasshoppers.com/store/SiteController/grasshoppers/home" target="_blank">Grasshoppers</a> in navy with red trim. I found these beauties over at <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&oe=UTF-8&ie=UTF-8&q=magpie+portland&fb=1&gl=us&hq=magpie&hnear=0x54950b0b7da97427:0x1c36b9e6f6d18591,Portland,+OR&cid=0,0,3450222422777261626&ei=sIbNT56DOpDy2gXs8dGWAw&oi=local_result&ved=0CBQQ_BIwAw" target="_blank">Magpie</a>.

What a treat. Beginning with a showcase from the Woodlands and How to Talk to Girls presenting PINO, followed by a quick catwalk featuring what is currently available at Isaac Hers. Then the main course, Fall 2012. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I didn't snap any photos myself but Ryan Fish over at <a href="http://marrowmag.com/" target="_blank">Marrow Mag</a> was generous enough to share some images with me. These are a few of my favorite looks that graced the runway on Saturday. Enjoy.<br />

If you are looking to get out in the sunshine and see some sights and stunning views of downtown, look into the 4T Trail (Train, Trail, Tram, Trolley). For more information check <a href="http://www.portlandhikersfieldguide.org/wiki/4T_Trail_Loop_Hike">here</a> and <a href="http://www.4t-trail.org/">here</a>. Oh, and Happy Easter. <br />

1 cup dried french lentils<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
<br />
Place the lamb shanks in the bottom of the pressure cooker, add the wine, 2 cans of broth and the herbs. Chop the onion, carrots, chilies, shallots and garlic into small pieces. Add enough water to cover the mixture completely. Seal the pressure cooker, place it on the stove on high. Once at pressure turn the heat down to roughly medium and cooker for an hour. <br />
<br />
While the lamb is stewing, prepare the lentils. We buy bulk lentils which require sorting to pick out any stones or other bulk debris. Rinse the lentils under cold water. In another small pot heat up the third can of beef broth until it is on the brink of boiling. Then add the dry lentils and simmer for about 40 to 45 minutes. <br />
<br />
Once the lamb had been under pressure for an hour, release the pressure. Open the lid and using 2 forks pull the meat apart and away from the bone. Remove the bones from the stew and set pot back on low heat. Add the cooked lentils. Season with ground pepper and sea salt. Serve. Garnish with fresh parsley. <br />
<br />
Drink the rest of the Bordeaux and enjoy with a baguette (we like <a href="http://www.kensartisan.com/">Ken's</a> the best).<br />
<br />
Bon appetite!<br />

Because working nights can be long and sometimes draining... this is my recent unwinding concoction- a glass of bubbly, preferably La Marca prosecco, with a few drops of Scrappy's Cardamon Bitters. </div>
