Nob Hill The Place To Be

If you haven't checked out the trendy shops and restaurants on NW 23rd street you are missing out.  This wonderful little stretch is ideal for a little afternoon you time.  I love to ride my vespa down and spend a couple of hours exploring my favorite spots.

The Blush Beauty Bar is at the top of my list.  Owner Deborah Haynes has created a pink paradise of beauty products and treatments.  Unlike most Cosmetic shops here you can dab & spray to your hearts content.  Testers are available on many products with clever little tags saying "try me".  You feel a little like Alice before she leaps down the rabbit hole.  Deborah also has the most wonderful staff ready to help you with any beauty questions you have.
A couple of my favorite treatments-
Shirley Temple for all the girls who want to twirl 30-minute make-up for a special occasion. $30  My daughters love this one.
Fuzzy Navel  Beautiful brows.  Brows styled via wax or threading, tweeze and trim by one of their experts. $20
Sidecar  Anti-aging eye treatment.  Technologically advanced ingredients such as hexapeptides and pentapeptides will help smooth fine lines, de-puff and diminish dark circles. $12
Vita Tonic  MDT5 vitamin infusion for radiant skin.  Patented technology, MDT5 carries 6 highly engineered vitamins deep into the skin's cell receptors.  For any skin type or condition, this treatment will rejuvenate cells, repair damage and deliver dramatic, visible results. $50
Stop by the Blush Bar "where vanity comes to play"

Besaws  A wonderful cafe for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  This Portland favorite has a cozy atmosphere and a delicious menu.  Two of my favorite's The Cobb Salad and The Caesar Salad are healthy and delicious.  If you need some yummy comfort food order the Original Mac- mac and cheese even better than Grandma's.

Zelda's Shoe Bar  A popular upscale womens shoe boutique that features a covet-worthy collection of the latest styles from European shoe designers.  Zelda's has been around since 1994.  Owner Libby Hartung founded Zelda's Shoe Bar, her goal was to find quality shoes that make the women wearing them feel amazing.  She likes shoes that get noticed, shoes that set a woman apart from the crowd.
According to Zelda- A must have for Spring 2011-The Neutral Shoe
Whether you pair them with a crisp white ensemble ala Michael Kors, bright spring florals or your favorite pair of jeans, a neutral shoe adds the perfect finishing touch to your spring wardrobe.  Stop by Zelda's and check out these fabulous neutrals-
