When we got there my boyfriend suggested going to Kornblatts. He had been talking about it for months, so I figured we might as well give it a shot. And I can never pass up pickles. It's a serious addiction for me and they girl you a jar of pickles before your meal comes out.
Once I saw that they had a vegetarian Reuben sandwich that was a no brainier for what I should order. For my side I chose potato salad because I heard that they make an amazing one. Once I took a bite out of each thing, I was instantly transported to what I would envision heaven would be like. The pickles were fat and juicy, but had a great crunch to them. The sandwich was one of the best things I have ever eaten. There was a ton of sauerkraut, bell peppers, mushrooms and the most glorious sauce on it. The potato salad tastes exactly like my grandma's, which made it fantastic. I could eat this everyday for the rest of my life. My boyfriend was laughing so hard at my reaction to eating this food because I look so beyond content with life. I will definitely be going back there as much as I can.
After lunch we walked around to almost all of the stores on the street to try and burn some calories and bask in the incredible home stores.
When we were walking we saw a sign saying that 23 Hoyt was offering $2 mimosas on Saturday and Sunday. So clearly we stopped and ordered ourselves one each because we just love ourselves. And I have never had a bad mimosa. This place did not disappoint.
Once we needed a snack, a macaron was the one thing that sounded the best to us. Papa Haydn's is the go to place for them because they always make a killer macaron. My boyfriend chose the strawberry basil one and I picked the honey lavender of course. This was a little delight to eat because it was light but had huge bursts of flavor. In mine, there were pieces of actual lavender which enhanced the taste.
It's finally feeling like fall here in Portland, so clearly I was dressing for the season. I wore my dark wash skinny jeans (Paige jeans from Anthropologie), a basic black tank that doesn't fit my dad and was from the 80's (Nike). I decided to go basic with these key pieces because I knew that I was going to accessorize with big prints. The scarf I wore (Forever21), cardigan (picked in a clothes swap with my neighbor) and the boots (Steve Madden) added that fall touch to the outfit. My purse (Forever21) is basic but has a gold chain strap to add that glam touch as well. As for jewelry, I went with my rectangle matte gold earrings (Forever21), and rose gold watch (Anne Klein) to add that glam touch. This is actually an outfit I really love because it was appropriate for the season, which I love fall so much. I have also slightly hanged my hair color and had my AMAZING hair stylist add some caramel lowlights in it for the fall. It helps add some warmth to my blonde hair. This is my favorite color I have ever had by far.
