June 29, 2010
We like to pare down for summer—and we don’t mean just our wardrobe. For us it’s all about finding the perfect live-in-it outfit, the love-it-don’t-leave-it hangout, and peppering those with some choice activities.
Portland Picks’ Summer Essentials Guide has all of our favorites: from the beach-body workout to the organic spray tan, the cutest jewelry, the best patios, and the sunset cruise where you can tie it all together. Enjoy the summer! (We know we will!)

Brew Local
We like it local—even our beer! Laurelwood Public Houses have great food and handcrafted beers at their locations here in Portland, and a new location in Battle Ground. They’re Portland’s first Certified Organic Brewery, and Laurelwood Public Houses are so relaxing, and family-friendly. Support your local farmers, and raise a glass to award-winning beers.

That Finishing Touch
Jewelry—it’s what we live for. And Lolabelle Designs brings it home—literally! Host an in-home trunk show for their fashionable baubles. It’s fun, fabulous, and if you have 20+ guests, 30% of the proceeds are donated to the nonprofit of your choice. Rather go retail?

Just in Time for Romance
We live right alongside a beautiful river—so why not enjoy an evening cruising it? Smooth Sailing offers 2-hour dinner cruises on a beautiful 45-foot sailboat, with gorgeous skyline views and experienced captains. Locally sourced ingredients and wind power? We’re so into it. (Anniversaries, birthdays and engagements may never be the same!)

Willamette Valley by the Glass
Wanna picnic in wine country? Wanna run a half-marathon that meanders through vineyards? (We’re more of the “vineyard tour” types, ourselves.) Willamette Valley is hopping from 4th of July weekend to Thanksgiving with tons of fab events: taste from the barrel, enjoy food & live music, and more. Explore wineries and tasting rooms from Portland to Eugene!
