I’m so thrilled to be participating today in the London Times Savvy in Your City summer campaign!  We were each asked to pick a city & share our summer savvy tips…and since we’ve only lived in NY a short time, I decided to talk about my hometown in Oregon instead.  Portland is such a fun city with so much to offer – there are amazing restaurants in the Pearl District and really great live music downtown (including the best Spanish coffee you’ve ever tasted at Huber’s).  My husband & I had our wedding reception at The Governor Hotel & catered by the in-house Jake’s Grill, where the food is to die for!  


But, one of our favorite activities for the summer is to get outside of the city limits a bit and visit Yamhill county. Not only are the views of the Willamette valley picturesque, but there are dozens of wineries & quaint shops sprinkled throughout the area…all just a 40-minute drive away from Portland.  You can read more about my favorite places to visit in Oregon wine country here.


I chose this London Times tropical print dress to go along with this feature because it could easily take you from a day of wine-tasting (swap in flat sandals & cargo jacket, if it’s breezy) to dinner in the city (how I styled it here).  I love that the slinky lightweight fabric is so comfortable, but the print & shape make it sophisticated enough for evening.  It would be equally perfect to wear to a beach wedding or a friend’s summer soirée.



What I’m wearing:

c/o London Times dress (here; 20% off with code LT20), Windsor heels (here), ASOS clutch (similar here), Target cuff (similar) & belt (on sale here), Etsy ring (here), Nails: Love & Beauty Periwinkle Shimmer

    This dress is just gorgeous and it looks fabulous on you. Love the heels also. I've been contemplating investing in some white sandals and I think I just have to go ahead and take the plunge already!

    Never been to Oregon but it Portland sounds like a fun city!

    Hi Kellyann,

    I actually mixed together two different colors. I used Maybelline Fifth Ave Fuschia lipstick and then layered Revlon Super Lustrous Gloss in Lilac Pastelle on top. Kind of an unexpected combination, but really pretty! 🙂

    xo,

    Love the neckline and print on that dress…and of course those ankle strap heels. I hope you had a great weekend Kim!

    Since you're new to NY here's a recommendation: visit the New York Wine and Culinary Center in Canandaigua! It is a beautiful space on Canandaigua Lake, they have wine tastings that rotate all the time, and a restaurant that features food and wine all from New York State.
