TRIED & TESTED: ACE HOTEL PORTLAND

April 23rd, 2012

Most striking feature:

For me, sleeping in this Ace Hotel, is like heaven. It’s like you’re a teenage fan of, let’s say, Justin Bieber and you finally meet him. I’ve seen a lot of pictures of the Ace Hotels and now I’m finally there. The hotel is located nearby the Pearl District (and the whole block if full of restaurants and shops so that’s an easy extra) and you are welcomed by Read more…

TRIED & TESTED: CLOUD SEVEN CAFE PORTLAND

September 1st, 2011

Most striking feature:

The Macbooks. It was like Cloud Seven Cafe was around the corner of an Apple store because everyone in here was working on their Macbook. It’s a good place to come alone, check your mail and get in touch with the local Macbook users (don’t even think of bringing your Windows laptop in here, because I think you will cause a stir). I’ve ordered a chicken salad on a Yam Bum and a coke. We’re in Portland so it’s not the normal Coke, but the green version of it. Without the sugar and produced in an honest way. I loved this place also because of their lamps.

SOON ONLINE: PORTLAND SPOTS

June 9th, 2011

In March I went to Portland for Marie Claire. If you like the store Marqt (where everything is green with a cool flavour) you will fall in love with Portland. Because Portland is one big Marqt. I can’t tell you about the best spots I found during the five days I was there, but once the issue is out, I will treat you with a lot of Tried & Tested.

If you’re planning a trip to Portland, sent me an e-mail and I will give you the best tips on where to go.

Love, Pauline
