Lounge Lizard: Red Wing Shoes Event

Stopped in to check out the beautiful event at Lizard Lounge event last night, celebrating Red Wing's re-launch of 2 iconic shoe styles, 875 and 877. I was delighted to get invited to this event, since it was my first time stepping into the sprawling store and I had always wanted to peruse their inventory. Whoo hoo! I was not disappointed!

Of course, I was pretty impressed with the event itself and RedWing shoes. Paul and Williams did a beautiful job producing the event and right when I walked in, I found myself introduced to the brand through a creative installation. The shoes were a part of a bigger story and I had the opportunity to appreciate the brand and learn a bit about it's origins.

The vibe of the party once inside was exactly what I image is RedWing's demographic. I love their boots myself and check it out- I can see them on some of these beautiful peeps as well.

Love the trend of live haircuts at parties recently. They had a sweet set up at Lizard Lounge, as well as flowing kegs and drink options for attendees. The photo booth was fun too! Delia and I jumped in and were happy to see the printer spit out a copy for each of us.

I wore a really simple outfit- AE denim top with an Isaac Her's maxi and my Tied Up and Tousled necklace. Ran into one of my favorite Portland photographers- Boone Rodgriquez who was the official event photographer and that cutie in the red-shirt? She was one of the producers of the event- Delia Tethong.

Really excited for this silk Sanctuary top from EG Page Boutique. The silk is very soft, but durable and even after splashing some water on it after washing my face this morning, it didn't dry with water spots or anything.
My new Kork-ease sandals (now on sale at Nordstrom) arrived this week as well and I am wearing them with EVERYTHING! They are really light to walk in and the white leather is perfect for every summer outfit.

Here are a couple shots that didn't make it into the final look book.
I wanted to pull them for my book though :) Some of these images will be featured in Portland Monthly next issue and I'm always excited to promote one of my favorite Portland designers, Tied up and Tousled.
