We have a restaurant in Portland, Oregon that is our "ultimate" indulgence. We travel down from Seattle (3 hours-one way), to enjoy not the food, but the wine. Plainfields is an Indian restaurant.

Where In The Hell Have I Been?

My Ugly-Ass Travel Sandals
January 2, 2012 By
Like any girl, I love fashion and when it comes to my shoes, it’s all about cute and comfort. Even if they're 5 inch heels, my rule is I have to be able to run or fight in them.
