stayed at the ace hotel which is unobnoxious hipster central.
made multiple trips to powell's books.
only 1 trip to anthropologie.
and ate and ate and ate.
besides two gourmet dinners (le pigeon and clyde common), we partook of some decadent junk food:
- from pine state biscuits, i had the biscuits with sausage gravy with an egg on top
- from cupcake jones, i had a red velvet cupcake
- from voodoo doughnut, i had a donut with oreo crumbles drizzled with chocolate and peanut butter
i need to not eat for about a week to recover.
this is a shot of the cute ceiling light at pine state biscuits. i decided that even a picture of the biscuit i ate was too fattening for visual consumption.
also, some of you may know of my recent obsession with the nelson swag leg desk.
design within reach (not much is within reach at this store, let me tell you) has a location in portland and i had the delightful opportunity of seeing the nelson desk with my own two eyes and touch it with my own two hands.
B knew to let me have a few moments alone with my current obsession.
but, honestly, i was a little underwhelmed by it in person. i thought the chrome looked a little gonna-rust-in-about-3-years and there just seemed to be too many different surface types (wood veneer, white laminate, black plastic, and the chrome).
but it sure looks lovely in this picture, doesn't it?
luckily, i don't have the funds to purchase this desk so i am happy to keep looking.
on the way back to vancouver, we stopped in at seattle's scarecrow video (which sells criterion collection videos for $30 each!!!) and i picked up the following which are available for borrowing from me:
- in the mood for love (cc)
- the royal tenenbaums (cc)
- metropolitan (cc)
- a woman under the influence (cc)
- three times
- lady vengence
- pinky violence box set
