updating from portland...

vintage levis gingham shirt, acne needle high waisted jeans via shopbop, h&m cardigan, vintage lace up boots


I've been delaying this post far too long, forgive me, I've been busy. Last week I booked a last minute flight to the Pacific Northwest (!!!) and I am currently sitting in PDX waiting for my luggage. Which is late. Umm. Whatever, at least I'm here! These outfit photos are from last Sunday when Brent and I went out for ramen while the food ones are from the following day.

Had to include these photos, even if they're just shots where I'm testing out the lighting on BF. Those jeans are so old lol. I guess things do get better with age? Hah. I also wanted to thank everyone for your comments on that last post, it's nice to see that so many of you don't think of me that way and understand where I'm coming from. The internet is a tricky place but I'm dealing with it. Thanks for your support, guys.

Lunch at El Metate in the Mission. I'd been going for their tortas for about a year now but could never get BF to come with me. The thing with Mexican food in the Mission is that you're so used to having at least five or six restaurants in the same block serving so much of the same stuff that you never really bother to wander anywhere else. El Metate is a couple blocks east of BF's place so it's quite a walk but was totally worth it in the end. He had chicken enchiladas with green salsa and I had a torta with breaded chicken milanesa on dutch crunch (!!!!) and torilla soup. Soooooo good. And it's pretty close to Humphrey Slocombe too if you're in the area...

Anyway, since I didn't really get to vacation this summer I'm really glad I'm taking this last minute trip. I haven't been up here yet and I'll be in Portland until Sunday when we take Amtrak to Seattle to help my friend's sister move in. Plus Camille's going to show us around tomorrow which means awesome food and doooooooooooooonuts. Oh my gosh, DONUTS!

Yay, you're coming to Seattle! That's where I live! Go to Ballard: it's a really fun neighborhood with lots of good bars, restaurants, and boutiques.

Natalie (NJ in L.A.) said...

Ohhhh, I hope you also have some photos of the ramen place. Which one did you go to? Everything looks delicious as usual. Please let me take you to an amazing torta place (in Monterey Park) next time you're in the area.

Yeah Portland! Have fun while you're here, if you want I can email you a big list of awesome places to eat. I'm working on a Portland guide, but it's a big process! Especially cause the food list just wants to get longer & longer. Email me if you'd like it! anja.verdugo at gmail!
I'm out of town all weekend, otherwise I'd say we should grab a coffee or something. Next time! Have a great visit. :)

That outfit is great! That gingham shirt is beautiful. I really love your style.

I'm super jealous that you're off to Portland... It sounds like a great city! My sister keeps telling me it’s the coffee capital of the U.S.
