Man, I MISS my best gal Mandy taking pics - she's so freaking good! I think every girl needs a personal photog who sees all their beautiful angles/sides and even when you think you're not looking too hot - she can give you images proving you wrong. So grateful for a friend who took family time off to help at Portland Fashion Week. I asked her to document the team, outfits, etc - and man I love her work. Plus, if you love a beautiful instagram - check her's out www.instagram.com/mandys_view.

So here are some great shots of my purple top/white pants ensemble from Torrid! Same pants I wore with the Leopard blazer - was a quick mid-day outfit change :).

[above] With one of Portland's most celebrated designers on the scene, Brady Lange. Was SO grateful he showed his collection at PFW and the editors who reviewed felt the same way!
