Having a wardrobe full of basics makes packing for anywhere pretty easy. When I was getting ready for India I knew that I'll need really comfy versitile pieces with me so 70% of what I packed were Grana basics :) As you know I have a promo code with them (it expires end of January so hurry!): Use ZORYxGRANA for 10% off + free shipping.

After experimenting with head to toe pink look I decided to give head to toe blue look a try.

Wearing monochromatic outfits is super simple and looks really chic. Getting dressed in the morning is exponentially quicker and you can rest assured that your clothes match perfectly:) You can also be more adventurous with trendier accessories. Today I'm drawing attention to an awesome pom pom bag I bought from a small artist in Taipei, Taiwan.

#OOTD Silk & Cashmere Neutrals by Grana

I love sales but sometimes Black Friday is too overwhelming! There is just too much noise coming at you and it's near impossible to filter through all the promotions.

You can actually find great deals on the internet everyday. One of my favorite brands, Grana, creates high quality basics that look good for a fraction of the price of other popular fashion labels. I've been raving about them a lot but if you try them you'll understand why. :)

Today's outfit is all about soft fabrics in warm neutrals. We have a cashmere crew neck sweater in Heather Blush or as I like to call it Pink Oatmeal and ankle silk pants in Rose Down. I love everything about these two pieces to the point where I've been wearing it everyday for a week 😜😜😜. It's just so easy, so practical and it looks good!

If you want to try Grana (You won't regret investing in pieces that will effortlessly transition from one season to another) here is a promo code for 10% OFF and free shipping: ZORYxGRANA

Another obsession I'm nursing these days : fur shoes :)) Ever since I watched CFDA Fashion Fund and saw the gorgeous Brother Vellies slippers I was hooked.

Similar fur shoes to the ones I'm wearing are available here and here

Happy shopping:)

Things To Eat in Portland

Food, travelzory moryComment

Tasty n Alder

If you like comfort food, Tasty n Alder should be at the top of your list! In fact, they do a mix of New American and Asian Fusion food very well, so be prepared to have your taste buds knocked out of the park!

Some highlights include the Eggy Bread Pudding, which is actually a creamy savory dish that will surprise you, and their amazing Korean Fried Chicken. We also really went gaga over their Burrata Watermelon Salad and their Radicchio Salad.

Salt and Straw

A Portland favorite, there were always long lines out the door and happy faces inside to greet you. Some flavors that we loved were Fennel, Meyer Lemon Buttermilk, Olive Oil, and Goat Cheese Habanero. They always have new seasonal flavors so be sure to check them out!

Random Order Pies

We loved the quiche here since it had such a nice egg and herb flavor to it. They also had a great banana cream pie that we couldn't stop eating.

Bollywood Theater

If you're looking for some fantastic Indian food, this is the place. 

Starting off with Pav Bhaji, they've taken a common Indian street food dish and elevated it to perfection. Make sure to mix some of the onions and hot relish with the veggie mixture on top of the perfectly buttered rolls.

The Kati Roll is like an Indian burrito but with a paratha wrap. There is egg, pickled onion, and green chutney which pairs perfectly with the bold flavors.

The roasted beets were also one of our favorites since they were cooked in coconut milk and curry leaves.

If they also happen to have one of their specials like the Tomato Chaat, definitely get that!

Hat Yai

After living in Thailand in a year, I really learned to love their style of street food. Hat Yai exemplifies the kind of food I was eating there on a daily basis.

I'd recommend the the Fried Chicken set which comes with roti and a Malay based dipping curry.

The Soy Braised Short Rib and Southern Thai Ground Pork are also recommended.

Papa G's

Even if you're not vegan or vegetarian, Papa G's will convert you to a green loving eating machine! Everything here is so delicious and bursting with flavor! So much care and love is given to all the ingredients and I promise you'll feel so good afterwards!

Some highlights included the Collard Wrap, the Indian Curry plate, and the sunflower "cheese".

The Waffle Window

A cute place with a walk up window (thus the name Waffle Window) - this eatery is a heavy hitter with it's perfectly cooked chicken and waffles. We loved the Fried Chicken with white pepper gravy! So good!!

HYPED PLACES WE DID NOT LIKE:

Pine State Biscuit - Lines, lines, lines and a lot of hype. We were expecting to be blown away by this place but in the end it was super disappointing. The biscuits were dry, uninspiring, and not buttery. The fried chicken on top was rubbery and dry. Overall, the only saving grace was the sausage gravy to add moisture to everything.

Screen Door - Another huge disappointment with a place that had a lot of lines and a super long wait. Being from the south, I have some kind of idea what good southern food should taste like.. and this was not it. The fried chicken and biscuits were dry and flavorless. The grits had no flavor and no buttery taste to them. If you can't do grits right, you can't call yourself a soul food restaurant. :)

I love basics. They make my life easy and comfortable. Finding basics that are high quality, good cut, contemporary design and reasonably priced is a challenge. However I think I succeeded in finding my favorite company - GRANA. Ever since I got their denim I've been wearing it almost every day (you can fact check on my Instagram) The fit is perfect! I've been saying this over and over again but the best way to describe it is if mom jeans and boyfriend jeans had a baby:)) Also if you are looking for a little slice of luxury in your daily life their cashemere tees are amazing

How To Pick Your Next Adidas Sneakers

shoppingzory mory2 Comments

how-to-pick-your-next-adidas-sneakersYou've seen those shoes on every street style icon out there. They are simple, they are classic, they are adidas:)) If you are about to get your first pair of adidas sneakers here are the top 4 choices I recommend.

Adidas Original Super Star Sneaker Screen Shot 2016-07-24 at 11.23.57 PM photo credit: Urban Outfitters

This one was first introduced in 1969 as a basketball low-top shoe/sneaker. Since then it's made it's way into the wardrobe of all fashionistas. The design is the bulkiest of the 4 models. It comes in men sizing so if you have not bought from Adidas before I recommend you pop in their store or in Urban Outfitters and try the sneakers for a perfect fit.In my opinion the shoe runs a little big. I wear size 8 in most brands and for Adidas Super Star I wear men size 6. Availeble at Urban Outfitters, Nordstorm and Macy's

Adidas Samoa Screen Shot 2016-07-24 at 11.23.47 PM photo credit: Urban Outfitters

Samoa was introduced as a classic all purpuse/soccer shoe. It's less bulky than Super Star and it has an iconic retro look. That being said Adidas Samoa is my favorite of the bunch. I love the beige rubber detail on the sole and how the shape hugs your foot in a very comfortable way. Men sizing, runs big, I wear size 6 (normally size 8 women) Available at Urban Outfitters

Adidas Samba Screen Shot 2016-07-24 at 11.25.21 PM photo credit: Urban Outfitters

This is the most elegant silhouette of the 4. It carries the old school vibe of the Super Star but has a lightness and ease to it. If you are going for something less sporty this is the Adidas for you. Men sizing, runs big, I wear size 6 (normally size 8 women) Available at Urban Outfitters

Adidas NEO baseline Screen Shot 2016-07-24 at 11.34.21 PM I'm including this Adidas alternative because it has the appeal of all 3 models that I've already listed and it's the easiest to find on a budget price. If you shop with DSW you can get these babies for a real bargain. During your birthday month DSW gives you 10$ OFF coupon which you can combine with their other regular 10$ OFF coupons and get adidas NEO kicks for as low as 40$. Style on a budget:) It runs big. Get it from DSW or here
