What I love about Portland

It's hard to believe it but I have been living in Portland for over 10 years now. This city is the first American city I have ever lived in (and the only one so far). When I first arrived here (I came here for school all the way from New Zealand), I was seriously home sick. Everything seemed so different and foreign. It is not until the last few years I started to feel more connected to the city. I had time to slow down, take a deep breath and looked around. There is a saying "Keep Portland Weird". Most people chuckle about it when they see the sign around town but that is what makes Portland unique. The people (like a melting pot from all over the places, globally), the food (heaps of hidden little eats here and there) and all the beautiful greeneries.

The only think that is missing is an ocean nearby (New Zealand is surrounded by water of course being an island). I think I have now found my second home. Welcome to Portland, Oregon :)

Balenciaga Coquelicot City bag from the lovely Julie (check out her blog here), Sam Edelman sandals (pretty pink ones on sale here) and Lindberg sunnies.

Borsalini owl charm (their fb page here)

Caught a glimpse of the super moon! I think I can see the first landing up there (yap, just kidding haha).

Come visit Portland and get ready to fall in love :)
