There are few places I'd rather welcome fall than Portland, Oregon. Between cozy restaurants, independent bookstores, rainy streets, and a healthy dose of spooky season fun, it's the perfect city for an autumn weekend getaway. If you're looking for a cozy fall itinerary packed with great eats and unique experiences, here's how we spent 48 Hours in Portland, Oregon!

August-September’s Nuuly clothing rental lineup was pure main character energy. These rentals carried me through everything from fall shopping and coffee runs to a drag show for the books (shoutout to the Boulet Brothers!). I’m convinced Nuuly’s secretly curating my personality at this point - and I’m not mad about it! ;)

If you're planning your own getaway, here's how we spent 48 Hours in Bellingham, Washington!
