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.

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
When this post is published I’m in an airplane to Portland, Oregon. I will be there for 5 days to make a report of it for Dutch magazine Marie Claire. It will be published in June – so my recommendations for Portland follow after the June issue hit the stores. But I can tell you one thing: I will be staying at the Ace Hotel in Portland. I’m so thrilled because a stay at a Ace Hotel stands for ultimate hotspot behaviour – so now I definitely join the group of cool travellers
Are you travelling to Portland sooner than June or living in another country and want my recommendations? Sent me an e-mail at petitepassport@hotmail.com

Don’t you love a handwritten note from your loved one? Start the process by writing them yourself. Ofcourse you can use simple post-its, but how about these lovely ‘love notes’ from Tokketok? You can buy them at the newly opened shop Alder & Co in Portland. They collect all things pretty from America – and sometimes from Europe and Japan.
Price: 4 euro. Check out: www.alderandcoshop.com
