A One Man Army

portland311821107 My last couple nights in this beautiful quaint city have been spent drinking coffee and eating deserts at random cafes…eating lots of cheesecake (went to the cheesecake factory)…went to Henry’s for some amazing spinach and cheese dip and salt and pepper calamari (and pineapple Malibu's …mmm..I got carded…luckily I had my ID on me but I think he was questioning it…as if it was fake and I couldn't possibly be 23… shocker!)…vintage shops…Powell's books which is the largest independently owned bookstore in the world…I found out that my first edition Stuart little book is worth close to a grand! what?!….strolling the parks…Starbucks (there is one on literally every street corner!) …this is definitely a very artsy place that embraces being a little different/creative/unique…its pretty awesome…..lots of young backpackers….Oregon I believe..is the only state to have an official Doc Martens store…what do you guys think of these babies?? I kind of like that they are black and white…and no tax!! XOX

wooow, they are awesome!

Love the print on the docs. The black and white floral contrasts well with the style of shoe. And bouncers never believe that I'm 23. And even if they do, a lot of times the bartenders ask to see my ID too because they don't believe me! I guess looking younger than I am will eventually pay off though.

Glad you are having fun!

hehe, I am 19 and feel flattered when they want a ID from me (in here we can drink since we´re 18), cause I know that when I´ll be 50 I´ll look little bit younger :D

Those shoes are pretty awesome! Plus having no tax on them is a definite plus.

Sounds like you're having a wonderful time :) As for the shoes, I am still having a hard time warming up to them... but the print is adorable and you would totally make them work ( you always do) :)

Have a lovely stay and a safe flight home!

try to find the docs on amazon- that's how I found all three of my pairs and for way less than stores
good luck!
(PS Docs are super uncomfortable)
