Happy Birthday to me 2013

Baby, it's COLD here in Portland. This year I feel particular "casual" when it comes to my birthday. Work needs to have loads of updates and changes, we are training our butts off in preparation for our upcoming Nationals tournament in a week and we had just spent our holiday time in Asia.....
Nonetheless, my man and I still were adventurous enough to try out a new (to us) eatery today. We had a lovely brunch at Tasty n Alder. They have an eclectic choices of food. We had the yummiest radicchio salad with eggs and bacons and the spiciest Bloody Mary I have ever tasted haha.
The best of the day came when I wondered into a H&M and scored a flat lamb faux jacket for $14 (originally at $70). Yes, indeed, happy day for the birthday girl :)

 H&M peacoat (old, under $25), Frey riding boots (best all leather boots, love this one), Balenciaga City bag in orange brulee,  dress and inifinity scarf are both from Asia (dress is an early BD pressie from mum, see Instagram pic here)
Thank you for sharing my birthday post with me! Hope you have a wonderful week!
