Papa Haydn lunch spot

One of my most favourite blogger friends Luxeseed as an awesome blog documenting her travel as well as some of the best food/resturants she has been all over the world. I have been a big fan of her blog for a long time and this week I thought I would write up a blog post about a loca foodl joint in Portland.
For those of you who did not know, I live in Portland, Oregon and we have some of the best local unique eats around town. Papa Haydn is one of my favourite joints located on the hip 23rd area (west side of town). I come here to enjoy the laid back atomosphere as well as their mouth watering desserts and yummy freshly prepared food. I have even ran into a celebrity Reggie Lee from the hit NBC show Grimm last summer.
My plum PS1 (I got my from Hgbagsonline) bag gladly accompanied me during lunch (dessert display behind me).

Local made bread roll and their signature garlic herbal butter spread (complimentary with meal)

My man ordered the classic hamburger....

....and I ordered the sausage risotto (creamy and delicious).

Come check out this spot if you ever visit Portland. We were too full afterwards so there was no room for dessert but if you have a sweet tooth, definitely spare some room for it. The selection if their cheesecake is amazing!

I hope you like my first attempt on my food experience. Maybe I will try doing this more often :)

p.s. thanks so much on your comforting words about my RIP laptop. A new one will be in real soon!

Classic combo-red and black

Happy Tuesday everyone. I had a bit of a computer problems over the weekend. Have you ever run into this scenario...the day before, everything was working fine and the next day when you turned on the laptop, error message and unfamiliar "warning" began to show up on your start up screen.....uh oh! Yap, that's what happened to me over the weekend. In a moment of panic I started searching for that "re-boot" function and doing whatever I could to fix it. Well, after a fruitless 30 minutes, I gave up. I have declared that I need a new laptop (given the fact the current one I have been using is almost six years old). RIP to my lappy....you have been good, until the last moment.

Winter coat take 2

As promised I am showing you the second winter coat I recently bought (see my first purchase in this post). This one is from the good old Zara. I have been to Zara several times and never did I ever buy any clothing pieces except for some scarves. Leave it until their end of the year sale I spotted this cropped short coat. I instantly fell in love with the lolly candy like hues. You probably know me by now, I am a big sucker for bright colours especially orange and red. Short coats work much better for my petite frame. Honestly, long coats tend to swallow me whole. Besides, short coats are more versatile to pair with practically anything. Today I am pairing it with a simple black dress and basic black boots. I added a scarf underneath to add warmth as well as even more cheerful colour :)

Hope you like both of my coats as much as I do! Have a wonderful weekend and thanks so much for reading!
