I haven't written a post in so long! I just started a new job and am SO happy. I'm already in love with it! I am teaching Special Ed students, K-5. I have a pretty great class. It is going to be both very challenging and really rewarding!! PLUS, I got paid to watch "The Little Mermaid" the other day! SAY WHAA?!?!
I drove to Portland, Oregon this weekend, just a short overnight trip. One of my best girlfriends came to interview for grad school, so I met up with her and we had a little sleepover in her hotel room!
We went to dinner at Pok Pok for dinner, but it had a crazy 90 minute wait, so we went across the street to the Whiskey Soda Lounge (same company, same menu) and we had their AMAAAAZINGLY DELICIOUS "Vietnamese Fish Sauce Wings" So so so good. Seriously, the best wings ever. Sweet and Sticky (and I got them not spicy at all, but you can get them spicy).
My friend got a spicy Bamboo salad. and we got fancy asian cocktails! She had hot orange tea (soo alcoholic), and I got a "Zig Zag Wanderer" which had coconut milk, pineapple drinking vinegar, and other yummy and alcoholic stuff!!
Then we headed to the very popular Portland City Grill for more cocktails. This place is 30 stories high, and overlooks the city lights. So pretty! also, SO crowded. It took ages to find a table, but our bartender girl was very nice. and there's not much better than $5 Pomegranate Margaritas and $5 Cranberry Mojitos!
Random elephants in the middle of nowhere. and Chinatown? I'm not sure.
There were so many blossoms near the water, where the Saturday Market was. It was really fun too, so many cute things I wanted to buy! Lots of lovely hand-blown glass, some paper-maiche tulip lamps, and beautiful beautiful peacock feather vintage-esque fascinators!!!

Re: the Mary Poppins dress... I found it on polyvore.com by searching the terms 'nude, tiered, frill' but I can't recall which one it showed up under. I tried looking for it now, but no luck. I think the retailer that carried it was misssellfridge but I don't see it under their listings now. Will let you know if I come across it again :)
yay! so glad you tried pok pok and portland city grill. the wait is super long at both, but it's well worth it :).
and thank you for all your sweet comments you left today.
hope you have a happy monday!
